My point is everyone has an agenda when it comes to a SEC school and everyone on here wants Ole Miss to get hammered because it helps their school out. Ole Miss cheats on the same level as probably everybody else. Ole Miss should still get penalized for getting caught but to act like other schools are cleaner than Ole Miss is being very naive.

I think I've made my feelings on this pretty clear. While I absolutely empathize with the average OM fan's pain, I do feel that the NCAA must penalize them harshly. Doing otherwise would set an even more dangerous precedent than we currently have. I have no doubt that cheating is rampant in college football, but until each and every individual school is proven to be cheating, you can't do anything about it. Again, "everyone is doing it" is not a valid defense.

The last point is a bit of personal hope that I hold on to. I genuinely hope that serious cheating on an institutional level is relatively rare. I have to cling to that hope because if I didn't I would just stop watching college sports altogether and that would be heartbreaking for me.

I don't derive any sort of joy from seeing OM fans suffer, man.
