Would Bama fire Nick Saban if news broke today that he did the exact same thing as Price?


So you are saying wins > what is right and integrity of the university?

I hope to god you aren't serious. I don't post much on the SEC rant but read a lot. You are definitely one of the better hog posters. But I just can't see how anyone that is serious can actually support actions like Petrino's. Especially since he has a proven track record of being a scumbag.

I've said since last night before the news conference that I think he will be fired.

However, I do think to a lot of people who donate the big money that wins > integrity.

The question is who will Long listen to on this one.

I don't think Chesire's saying that at all. I think he's just saying that if the same thing happened at Bama, you'd see the same battle going on in that fan base as in ours.

I've said it before, Jeff Long is in a terrible situation. One look at Hogville is all you need to know to understand that. If you even say that there's the possibility Petrino COULD be fired, you're either a Nutt Hugger, a Bible thumping Puritan, or a Troll.

Yes. Wins = money. Money rules the world.

It sounds good when people talk about integrity, etc. Integrity almost never enters the equation in the real world. If Arkansas could sweep this under the rug, then it would. Now that it is public they have to deal with it. So basically they'll have to decide if they'll lose more money by firing him or dealing with the PR storm and any possible legal action. Pay the girl off and fine Petrino whatever that cost was.

The entire NCAA is a corrupt system who exploits kids for billions of dollars and beats the drum of the integrity of amateur athletics being the most important issue in the world. Every action they make shows that money is more important than the kids, yet they keep screaming it. It's a joke and the Universities make huge money from it. Some of these programs make near 100 million from football related revenue. 4 schools in the SEC made over 40 million in profit and 8 schools made over 25 in profit. This is a business and they'll do a financial analysis of the best move.
