How can Ole Miss take the SEC Rules seriously, when there are none?

 
According to Higs, this is only the beginning of it with ole miss. 

 
When you see a program like Ole Miss start pulling 5-star studs from TX and ATL something is amiss

Call me a cynic if you like

 
There is no cheating going on at Ole Miss or the SEC. At least that's what I've been reading from MBHORNSFAN.
Obviously you missed the whole point of my post. Texas fans make fun of aggie because aggie is convinced we are cheating. Texas fan accuses everyone else of cheating. Texas fans 100% convinced Texas is not cheating. Yeah that is pretty f##king stupid.  How about we ALL realize everyone is throwing benefits around.

I have a very tough time believing there is a multi-billion dollar industry in illicit college sports payments that is entirely dependent on thousands of teenagers not saying anything that is thriving outside the ability of hundreds of professional journalists to uncover.
Any journalist who could expose "what every team is doing" would make their career just like Bayliss did with the SMU scandal, but every one of the 18 and 19 year old kids the scheme depends on stays quiet and none of the 20 year career journalists can put two and two together and make themselves a millionaire sports journalism celebrity?

All the journalists would rather keep writing for sports blogs and making next to nothing to trade it all in for financial security and widespread fame.

Yea. I believe that. Not.

Well to listen to everyone here that is what they believe. thousands of kids are getting paid and not talking... Yeah sure. LOL

 
Ouch. Someone's a bit sensitive on this subject. lol

But to the point of Freeze . . . and this may deserve to be posted on the SEC Bias thread. . . but notice that the focus of the ESPN article is how "most" of the infractions took place before Freeze . . . as if this somehow excuses Freeze. And obviously it's worked because it gets repeated here.

Here's whats wrong with this journalism. They spent the first few graphs paving a safe passage for Freeze with words. Then finally they get to that point about 4-5 graphs in where they bring up Freeze, but never detail what the infractionS are. Reader is left with the impression that a small amount of infractions are so unworthy they're not worth mentioning.

Another way of looking at that, journalistically, would be "Ole Miss infractions include some during Freeze tenure."

SEC needs no PR dept when they have ESPN around.

Someone help me out with this "everybody does it" concept . . . IF Texas is engaged in throwing around money, benefits, whatever at recruits . . . why doesn't our talent pool look like Alabama's? I mean, we could literally buy that entire university with our alumni if we wanted to. lol

If it's about buying recruits, we would be national champs every single year.

Any 18 year old kid who sees the next kid getting two pairs of shoes when he only got one is going to sing like a canary. There is no way in hell thousands of 18 year old kids who come from nothing are going to "know their place" and remain silent while other layers who are ranked higher get more money.
The 18 year old mind doesn't work that way.

And no sports writer is going to ignore how Skip Bayliss made his money, decide to remain silent, continue to be a low paid sports blogger and "know their place."

Let me close this discussion with this. The difference between me and many of you is every time we lose a commit I don't blame the $$$. Hell is may or may not be true that is what actually happened. The reason I don't do that I think it is wrong to accuse a kid or cheating without proof. Find proof and get after it. Also I really don't care if they are getting paid. Everyone is making millions off these kids and they are many times left with broken bodies and nothing else. Make that paper while you can.

 
If anyone could explain the alleged corruption that people say dominates college football, they would get a million dollar plus contract from any one of a number of sports media groups to tell the story. The alleged corruption scandals at public universities would be a story of epic proportions. And all this rests on 18 and 19 year old kids to remain silent and reporters who "know the truth" being willing to remain poor, underpaid stiffs to protect "the system."

Bullshit.
