Actually, I don't think May forgot about Auburn. I didn't mean I thought Aubie would skate again, but after Camgate and Tattgate it wouldn't surprise me at all.
I'm wondering that same thing. This new "friendlier" NCAA under Emmert is starting to mirror our current mess of society.....no responsibility, no ownership, no accountability. Everyone is a victim because they either didn't know or didn't understand.
Someone was making the argument recently that Emmert was a really smart guy and not to be under-estimated. He could fool me.I'm wondering that same thing. This new "friendlier" NCAA under Emmert is starting to mirror our current mess of society.....no responsibility, no ownership, no accountability. Everyone is a victim because they either didn't know or didn't understand.
Now they are trying to close the gates after all the horses have ran away.
I have to believe that a great many boosters and family members (everywhere) are re-thinking their positions. Heck, if ignorance is a good excuse then why not take advantage of it! If they don't re-think their stance then they are ignorant. :biggrin:
If this guy stays in charge, you might be right. I wonder how long it will take the members' presidents to run him off, under threat of bolting.
No doubt boosters with lots of money and little integrity have a great big smile right now. However, we know the NCAA has had no problem with selective punishment in the past and can hammer down whenever they feel they need to make a statement. Has all this media uproar changed that? I would not want to be the school who finds out the hard way.
This is what concerns me the most about the present NCAA situation. The potential exists for a rogue booster with more money than brains to view the current situation as a license to open up the wallet. However, the NCAA has demonstrated over the years that selective enforcement is no problem for them. Furthermore, they have demonstrated over the past decade that Alabama is in their crosshairs. Put those last two sentences together and the present situation is a potential powderkeg for us. I sincerely hope our athletic office is going over the top in reminding and educating our athletes on what they can and can't do.
If they weren't properly educated in the rules, it sounds like a lack of institutional control.
Duh, know kidding. <---- a new spelling variation just for the NCAA.
I know exactly what you mean and feel the same way.
They say every so often, revolution is a good thing.
I'm almost to that point. But I think there's a big difference b/t college football and the NCAA. College football is the game played on Saturday and our beloved Crimson Tide. That won't ever be spoiled for me by the actions of outsiders. The NCAA on the other hand is a corrupt organization that I didn't trust after the Means incident and now I have absolutely 0 respect for with their handlnig of the barn and OSU incidents.
That would be a NO according to what I saw on the OSU discussion on OTL. I don't remember any names but no one had anything good to say about the NCAA. I'll try to paraphrase.
