Yup. Give away Dodge Chargers at GUMP? No investigation, nothing. Run a veritable prostitution ring at UGA? No investigation, nothing.

Forget to dot an 'i' at Tennessee on some random piece of paper?

MUH DEATH PENALTY.

Fk that. I don't give a rats azz about the whinings of the GUMPtards, etc.

This change is a long time coming. It's time for those goobers to compete on a level playing field.



I understand that this makes sense in a fevered mind looking for a conspiracy at every turn BUT there is no logic in the idea that Alabama, or UGA, for example, who, in the tormented mind of some, managed to bend the rules in their favor, will not flourish in an environment with no rules. If you are wiley enough to bend the rules successfully where others were not there is simply no reason to expect that the removal of the rules will level the playing field.

If you had been allowed to drive your car at 200 mph every day in your commute when others were limited to 70 how on earth could eliminating the speed limit place all drivers on a level plain? The one that was limited to 70 is going to have a helluva learning curve to survive at 200. The one who has been driving at 200 already has the equipment in place to drive 200 while everyone else is stuck with the 70 equipment (mindset). Anyone who thinks that eliminating rules will level the playing field has a loose grip on the reality of the real world where people compete. Simply accepting being subject to rules that were eventually eliminated places that entity at a severe disadvantage to an entity that never worried about the rules to begin with...culture is important, its hard to change.

Yeah, you were cheating.

That's what this is all about. You can't anymore, and you hate that.

You don't have the money to compete with Tennessee, not with everything in the open.

Not even after two natties.

I hope you enjoyed those natties, you'll never win another, being such a piss poor fanbase.

Disagree. There are some schools where “bagmen” were/are part of the culture. It was generational, dad’s and then their sons. Those schools got kids in by giving them $10k or giving a recruit’s mom a better used car.

Now, those bagmen are obsolete….they can’t compete with legal pay where kids make six or seven figures, legally.

So no, the schools that used to cheat better than others will not have the same advantages in pay for play…..the future is a more level playing field. I expect there will be more parity, at least among the programs with well organized NIL collectives.
