The funniest thing is it supports my point. We’re not above getting hit by the NCAA either. He’s literally screaming OMG YOU NEVER GET PUNISHED while showing us a cover of Kentucky getting punished.

But he drags his taint across the board about Kentucky all of the time. So go figure.

Follow the argument here:


DID THEY GET OFF EASY? is in the title

It shows my argument that UK was treated with blue blood gloves

They didn't fight the fact that the classes were BS. They challenged the NCAA's jurisdiction, as this was an academic affair

I love how some people are so butt hurt because Pearl is at Auburn. It makes me smile knowing you're just mad because he's winning and the fact he's not coaching your team.

Enjoy!!!

We were literally banned from TV for two years and only allowed 3 scholarships during that same time. UNC literally just skated from any violations and not a peep has been spoken about Zion still playing at Duke.

Now just try to imagine the joy and euphoria you'd feel as an Auburn fan/alum if Bruce won 5 (FIVE) National Championships at Auburn.

That's only relative.

Punishments are intended to stop certain actions and ensure that those actions won't happen again.
If you keep doing the same things then the punishment obviously wasn't harsh enough

Why no Kelvin Sampson talk? his show cause was longer.


If you're so hung up on what he did don't make it a show cause penalty for a set amount of years, ban him for life from coaching. Now I don't think he should have gotten that much of a punishment, but if you're that mad about coaches with bad pasts doing well, then fricking ban em.

I'd take Bruce 1000000000 times over Frank.

ETA: Didn't read the article did see this

Houston’s Kelvin Sampson has a show cause penalty on his resume, punishment for hundreds of impermissible calls to recruits while he was at Indiana and Oklahoma.


Can we stop dragging just pearl through the mud in the title then?

This isn't a problem with just one coach.

Yet folks claim Nick Saban is the devil/Satan and that he's a callous arse without a compassionate bone in his body. When in reality he's raised millions for underprivileged children, has personally given millions to community and the university and has been deeply involved with the city and surrounding area for over a decade.

I think what he does is amazing.
But realistically what does has nothing to do with work.

They are not the same.


I don't give millions to charities but I donate to various ones around Christmas time. I'm not a good person and I'm a pretty self absorbed prick who would literally stab someone in the back at work to get the upper hand. But hey I donate to the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Child Find of America.
