[QUOTE="WreckedbyWhiskey, post: 279713, member: 2566"] I hear you, and maybe I'm just not aligned w/ that vision for the program. Which leads me to believe that other alum and fans aren't clear on that vision either. But true enough, our job as alum and fans is to show up and support, period. I can't say that it's not realistic to be a consistent national contender without sacrificing education, I'd hate to discredit the majority of players that did use their athleticism as a means to an education. I grew up with several SEC football players that are very successful off the field post-graduation, and these guys have high paying jobs with a lot of responsibility. I think there's so much to learn that can be leveraged after graduation as a player that's part of a program with a culture of winning. Now, there are other ways that players are unethically exploited but that's a different conversation. All-in-all, I whole-hardheartedly believe that a program with good character and integrity can win consistently, but I don't believe that it's easy. [/QUOTE]
