Slick Nick at it again, manipulating the rules again

So why bash just saban and alabama. are you hoping no one reads the article and realizes that many schools do the same? or are you just a lsu supporter who takes every opportunity to bash saban?

Great post. Interesting stuff. Never heard it before.thanks !

All of the above. I'm just highlighting the article which centers around Saban's actions. My take is the University Presidents are trying to keep College Football from becoming bigger then what it already is. And then there are coaches like NIck Saban who are pushing the envelop at every opportunity to make College Football like the NFL. Yes, it comes from the pressure to win now or be fired. If the NCAA and college presidents don't push back on the manipulation of rules quickly it can all get out of control very fast.
I would much rather see coaches like Saban be part of the solution then push the envelop the way he is which causes a big divide in the haves and have nots. Everyone can see what he's doing to get around the rules.

He's at Bama. Cheating is their biggest tradition.

More of the obsession.

Bama takes sanctions like a good Catholic takes communion.

I hope LA Tiger and tentex both stub their toes REAL bad in the dark tonight.

I've stubbed my toe less often than Bama's been on probation.

I understand rules and think that every University should follow the same rules. What I don't understand is why the NCAA doesn't enforce the same rules for everyone. I think that when rules are broken at different Universities , they usually fall under similar catagories, such as giving money, giving extra benefits,etc. Why doesn't the NCAA just set up the following punishments: This is the punishment for giving money, this is the punishment for lack of control, etc. Then everyone would receive the same treatment. No, what they do is let schools like USC get away with murder for how many years now, and they just keep investigating it, hoping that everyone will just forget how serious it was, and if they give any punishment at all it will be little. If you set a rule, shouldn't you already have the exact punishment laid out for breaking that rule? They just have too much power and I personally think that they're being influenced by certain people.
