I shouldn’t be, but I’m surprised at the faux outrage over paying players

Are there still people that don’t understand how the recruiting game is played in football and basketball in the power conferences? I get that there is a line that can’t be crossed, and that line is getting caught. If there is hard evidence against Wade, he’ll have to face the consequences. With that said, let’s not pretend that LSU was playing with a stacked deck. LSU, UK, UT, KU, Duke, UNC, and a couple dozen other schools are recruiting on a level playing field and we all (should) know it. When you were in college, and were friends with one or more high profile bball or football players, they talked and you learned quickly how the game was played. It’s the worst kept secret in sports. Point fingers, laugh, enjoy the moment, whatever, just save the self-righteous sanctimony. It’s beyond ridiculous.

When LSU wins the outright SEC championship in a couple hours, they will be the best team in the SEC. Period. No asterisk.

That also goes for all the LSU fans that bitch about Bama players driving chargers. Neither program is clean, so stfu and stop begrudging the other guy because he’s better at playing the game than your guy is.
