re: Something that needs to be said about football

Ford cheated and Clemson was put on probation, barred from bowl games during the 1982 and 1983 seasons. Kicked off on TV during the 1983 and 1984 seasons. The NCAA found recruiting violations during the Charley Pell years but found it had continued under Ford.

I seriously doubt Frank allowed Ford any type of cheating or his record would be much better.

Also Ford was out of work between the 1989 and 1993 seasons, so he needed a check.

The Bert success at Wisconsin was a result of Barry Alvarez building up the program and never fully giving up his head coaching duties. So Bert never had full control of a program until he got to Arkansas.
