Remember, UM left UF because his ego wouldn't let him stay and LOSE games.

UM's ego controls any and everything he does. If he does go to tOSU on short notice, he had better swallow his ego because he may lose some games until his system is running. Just ask Rodriguez.

Think about this. A.J. Green sells a game jersey for $1,000 from a Liberty bowl game in which he didn't even score a touchdown and gets a 4 game suspension. Four games! And all because he sold it to an alleged "agent" who has never represented any player, ever. Marcell Dareus took an illegal benefit of $1787.17 from a known sports agent. Two game suspension. Two games?!

Ohio State has four players who took illegal benefits from some tattoo parlor operator being investigated by the feds, got a five game suspension, but still got to play in their bowl game????!!!

Georgia and Oklahoma SUCCESSFULLY SUED the NCAA back in the mid-80's to gain access to a share of the millions of dollars they were generating for the NCAA. You think the NCAA is going to treat us fairly? HA! Of course not. It's one of the more corrupt organizations in sports, folks. It was back in the 80's and nothing has changed.

Now they find themselves in a bit of a bind. They LOVE OSU and the precious Rose Bowl. I'm sure they are popping some TUMS right about now. They and OSU are thanking their lucky stars for Urban Meyer. I'm sure he can be ($$$$$) convinced to help out the gang and alumns (yes, he got a Masters degree from OSU) back in Ohio. The whole thing stinks. What a sorry bunch.

wlayton, you are on point with the staying at UF and losing games.

Bothers me a great deal that he is on the ESPN conglomerate praising UF. Every chance he has, which is a lot, he is promoting UF. Seems to me there should be a rule. Other coaches (active) have to watch what they say, especially around recruiting young folks to the various programs. So Meyer is on ESPN before millions of viewers telling one and all what a great place to play football. NCAA has a wide range of rules.

AllDawgs5 . . . Guess we need to work on Richt, polish his skills a bit. . . . ;)

Another tidbit. Guess most of you have heard about Houston. Maybe that is what had him taking some plays off last season, as reported by the media. Herb tends to slow things down. Also does not say much for being the brightest bulb on the tree, or the sharpest knife in the drawer. Seems as if everything is out of kilter with the passing of time.

thriller, had completely forgotten about the lawsuit. Good get, goes to the heart of what this is going to be about . . . again . . . the NCAA.
