I stayed home yesterday to work on the house and listened to ESPN all day long. This story was the BIG story of the day. ESPN talked with the guy that broke the story and they projected what could happen. Frankly, they spoke of games being pulled, Heismann trophy and all sorts of fines and penalties. They did not take this lightly. If your wondering which show I was watching, it was the NFL Draft Preview show.

 

Heard an interview with a lady that writes for the Sports Business Journal on Dan Patrick as I was driving home today. She basically said this could be the tip of the iceberg with USC and this sort of thing.

 

Different people have different opinions. I've heard everything from nothing to USC to worse that the Miami teams of old. Who really knows?

It is really enlightening to hear the reactions of people to this story.

 

SoCal folks are basically saying "so what" and "how did USC benefit" or "everyone is doing it." (Isn't this a familiar refrain?)

Bottom line is: any athlete who gets a benefit or is perceived to receive a benefit that is not available to the student population as a whole is at risk for getting smacked. And the institution's lack of control will be shown. It could be a booster picking up a meal tab to players driving new wheels to, now apparently, new homes for their family.

 

Ask fans of Alabama how the NCAA reacts when it hears of players (or their families) getting unusally large benefits. Or ask Miami Hurricanes who were in on the Pell Grant Scandal. Of Kentucky basketball recruits and FedEx envelopes.

 

Just because USC fan doesn't think there is anying to it, doesn't mean the NCAA feels the same way. And don't think for a moment that this won't be investigated.

Maybe Reggie's family mortgaged everything they had on the house, betting on being set once his name is called Saturday. My question is then, why did they move out so quickly?

 

Reggie Bush will walk away clean no matter what. Come Saturday, he will be knee deep in money. Those left behind will bear any brunt of a punishment.

      2024 Heritage Mountaineers

      RR, you might remember. Didn’t someone hide the kicking shoe that game? It seems I remember we had missed a kick the week before, and we needed all the points we could get. We thought we had a better chance going for two, so $?&@$ hid the shoe after the first miss that game. No one on our sideline looked for it very hard.

      I will never forget the 1983 Heritage vs Maryville game. I remember driving home and listening to WGAP. Can't remember the announcers name. He asked Coach Story why he kept going for 2? Story told him " Why didn't you ask Renfro that last year"

      2024 Mustangs

      Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!
