[QUOTE="g0lftime, post: 354086, member: 2672"] We just aren't able to recruit the 4 and 5* defensive players. The factories get the bigger players with speed. We get the 3* players that are very good but not dominant. Our guys are better students and we can keep them in school. The factories find courses (can you say UNC) to hide them and keep them eligible. We are going into knife fights with one hand tied behind our backs because we are doing it the right way with our athletes. The UNC debacle has proven that the NCAA is not interested in academics anymore. It has been spoiled by big money. The athletic departments are now running the universities (who are the highest paid employees at the universities). We are fortunate that we have a coaching staff that is as successful as it has been considering how stacked the deck has become against schools like ours that have any academic integrity. A co-worker that attended Duke once told me that he knew a bunch of the FB players. They were pretty bad back then and had losing seasons every year. He said the players told him "sure they got beat on the football field but the opposing players would be working for them one day". They were there to get an education. I suspect that is the attitude of our players as well. [/QUOTE]
