We had chances at both Meyer and Briles. The question is whether prefer to "win the right way" or sell your soul.
I'll be honest: college football always has been a bit shady.
For instance: I met the SMU tight end that got them the death penalty. He was dating a woman where I worked. Seemed up and up. His girlfriend was a very special young lady that seemed unlikely to willingly choose to do something wrong or to hang with the wrong crowd.
After the news came out, I asked her if it was true. She teared up and couldn't answer me. The worst thing by far that he did in my opinion wasn't cheating. It was disappointing her.
Don't remember the story?? While I recommend not taking the claims at face value, a property owner with a spare apartment that he let a player use is all pretty innocent until you actually think through the effort the NCAA puts into making shamateurism work.
