    It seems like college football has changed dramatically in the last few years. Now, thanks to the advent of time travel, these college football fans from 1965 are about to find out how messed up their favorite sport becomes in the future.

    The head of the NCAA should be fired and sued for every dime he has. What a feckless jerk that guy is.

    You mean that schools that got away with paying players for years... decades, while the Gators got shafted for petty crap? Yeah, we saw all that in real time. THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH to change my mind about that clown. Now, he might not have been there the whole time, but he's part o the system and the same problem that picked winners and losers in college football for far too long.

    You might want to look at some of his past comments, especially on controversies... he said she said, if you know what I mean.

    The ncaa has been pretty much toothless since reggie bush. All they get is take a trophy and fire the coach? Seems like the risk reward is totally worth it. Paying players has been obvious and theyve really done nothing. Would you expect your employee to actually try to fire you or sanction your school. The fox has been guarding thr henhouse for a bery long time.

    Lol... I almost went all the way back to the Reggie Bush crap. You beat me to it. But yes, I agree that the NCAA is a massively "toothless" entity.

    Leon orr said all our players were being paid and not one single thing happened. Ncaa i believe doesnt have the ability to check the kids bank accounts and even if they did, i have an uncle that you could send the money to. Its almost impossible to catch them unless theyre stupid or admit it.

    Did he get a Dodge Charger? Did he get an Escalade? Or did he get an F-150 Raptor truck? Then it's NOT the same thing... not as obvious of a reason to investigate. The NCAA never made that "investigation" public.

    The over the top degree to which some schools cheated was far more obvious than some cash changing hands.

    Fred Taylor said Georgia gave him 50,000 in cash which would be enough to buy any damn truck he wanted to in the early 90s. But I guess he came and played for us for free. We just couldn't stack all the Dodge chargers in the parking lot at the practice facility because big brother would sanction us

    I can see that some players may have been giving some extra cash but what I am talking about is OBVIOUS AND BLATANT GIFTS like cars. Those are the easiest for the NCAA to investigate and yet, many of those schools like Bama, UGA and FSU never seemed to stop their OVERT GIFT GIVING.

    Some many have been giving money, but there was NO WAY ON EARTH that the NCAA could have properly investigated every single kid that may have received some cash... NOT LIKE CARS.

    Do you see what I mean now?

    The schools arent taking money, the kids are. You can make me your bagman if youd like. I have zero affiliation with anything. What would you possibly investigate me for?
