re: Tennessee AD Danny White releases statement, goes HAM on NCAA

Only way to handle a bully is to bully the fricker. That said its a helluva gamble given UT just settled another violation.

This is the problem with whats going on. The NCAA is obviously using UT as a scapegoat. Big, high profile program who has struggle of late so destroying them doesn't cause a lot of backlash, or so they think. On the other hand EVERY program and EVERY university President and EVERY AD, including UT, has publicly expressed their desire that SOMEONE regulate CFB in some manner. The only entity who has ever attempted to do so is the NCAA...and membership in the NCAA is strictly "voluntary"...its really not but strictly speaking it is. Despite clamoring for some guardrails being in place and enforced as soon as the only entity in a position to place some guardrails and enforce them everybody whines like a mashed kitty. It is a high stakes chess game...if, for some convoluted reason the courts side with the NCAA (hard to see it but who knows) UT is in a helluva predicament.
