The older I get, the more I believe this is true. I'd rather play it right than go dirty.
To win in a corrupt system one must do as the Romans do. Its kinda like politics in that way. Try winning the Presidency and be of good moral character.

You CAN win the presidency being of good moral character you just have to appear otherwise. So maybe if you appear like you are cheating in the NCAA you can win without really doing so. 😛

Yep, I guess they are just tooooo clever for Whodey.

Not trying to be funny here.
Sure there are some that have nice careers, but for every Eddie George, there are a bunch
of Clarette's and Pryor's
All I know is that Tressel appeared in a BCS bowl pretty much his entire stay at OSU and they dominated the Big Ten while at OSU and they appeared in 3 title games while at OSU and OSU had the most NFL players drafted of any program in college football.
As far as how many pan out in the NFL, pfft. Who cares if you an OSU fan. Tressel did his job and more.

That should eliminate future delimmas as to what to do with an undefeated Boise State. In addition, no longer will you have to place Ohio State in major BCS bowls ever year.
Is it just me, or does it seem like all the "undesirable" programs are being targeted of late?

Any team with a blue football field has got to be suspect!!
The whole thing with The Ohio State players being allowed to play in their BCS bowl, and Cam Newton being suspended for all of a minute and a half (ok, what was it really - 15?) is a joke. I was laughing at the stupidity of it all when Tressel said the players promised to come back next year.
The way the NCAA engages in, and handles, infractions and violations is insane and irrational. It's obvious the only principle being catered to is the one that says making piles of money is the only one that should be rigidly adhered to.
