[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 271084, member: 2175"] Well, as to the last point: I don't have a problem with it. It seemed even handed to me, but I have always granted wide latitude. Often I don't like it, but we all survive such unpleasantness, and actually I don't have to read it. As we can see on the board, a lot of us disagree with a lot of us. As to the hypocrite point, it is this: I am not singling out Johnson or any one coach. They go where the money is and did before Heisman. With rare exception we all do. I just never sniffed they lacked commitment or, in the phrase intended to fall like an anvil from the clouds, disloyal and did not keep his word. That is the hypocrisy: one set of rules for the monied coaches high hurdling to greater riches, and another for the athlete who perhaps wants fame but mostly wants playing time, has but four years to get it and thus will lose 25% of his eligibility. If coaches and the NCAA were serious and sincere about supporting the "student athlete" --a phrase proudly promulgated by NCAA propagandists many years ago -- they would acknowledge that an 18-year-old can make a mistake, and in many cases get talked into a mistake by the same coach, and level the field. If one wants out, let him go. If a pound of flesh is absolutely demanded, then give him all his eligibility but make him sit out a year first, and he can't transfer again with playing time. Tell me: what would be wrong with that? It is that they would lose control of the labor pool. It's wrong. [/QUOTE]
