re: How much longer will you care about whether your team has championship success if all it

Some of you just need to accept that no one cares as much about a fricking school as they do their own future and well being. You don’t either. I was born just off the Alabama campus, raised a Bama fan, dad graduated from Bama, and I was a walk-on there for four years. But if Auburn offered to double my current salary to study Alabama film all day and try to help AU win the Iron Bowl, well, “War Eagle, motherfrickers.”

You also need to accept that you expect way too much out of student-athletes.

You want players who are.,,

1. NFL caliber talents who can create an exciting, high level game.
2. Players who put the school’s interests ahead of their own.
3. Players who are quality students who value a college education.
4. Players who are high character and won’t embarrass the school in spite of having a demeanor that allows them to excel in a violent game.
5. Players who are content with everyone around them making 6-8 figures off of their talent, hard work, and wear and tear on their bodies.

You want a roster full of Tim Tebow or Myron Rolle types and that shite ain’t happening. You have to give a bit. Very few players have it all. And since winning and a high level game are too damn important, it’s the loyalty, character, and quality student stuff that gets tossed out the window.
