[QUOTE="SOWEGA Jacket, post: 877764, member: 4334"] The only hope is that everything is out in the open in whatever form it takes. The biggest problem with D1 football for 70-80 years (or whatever time line you want to use) is that it’s always had “the rules” and then you had how things were actually done. And everyone pretended how things were really done didn’t exist. And the NCAA did nothing but exacerbated the situation by letting some schools buy players (UGA with Herschel) yet slamming others (think SMU). Keep in mind I hate cheating and the idea of NIL and I hate that pampered players won through the court system. But, it’s like the old saying - the enemy of my enemy is my friend. All this stuff that I don’t like has at long last finally brought the truth to light. That high level players have been paid and will continue to get paid. Sunshine has finally been brought to the process even though I don’t like the process. And it has exposed the NCAA as running a corrupt organization for decades. Finally, something has finally stepped up those fools couldn’t run over or pay off. My comment about the SEC and BIG breaking away as setting the stage for a real future moving forwards is all rooted in sunshine and openness. Let them form a league where they bid and play players. It’s been happening for decades and schools like GT have been losing because we weren’t playing the same sport yet we were treated as if we were. I’ve been screaming for GT to cheat for decades because I’m tired of losing with both arms tied behind my back. Our program is dying yet no one addresses it. Those running our program never adapted to the new game.
