Chadd 916 Report post Posted November 10, 2004 My first thought was; no shit, we all knew that. It's the same accusations that people have made for the last 20 years about college football programs. They will be investigated, maybe lose bowl money and give up a couple of scholarships. Nothing will happen to change the way the sport is run. It's not in the NCAA's best interest in keeping good athletes/bad students out of school. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MDE3 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2004 This reminds me of what hapened in Colorado as well....like that was the only school. Not excusing the rapes which are being investigated, but the use of sex to entice....well that's been such a long standing joke about college football I do not see how they could just single out one school. Must have been someone in Colorado that really po'd the press.... Anyone remember the name of that film staring Danny DeVito where he plays a civilian teacher for the troops who were.... umm academically challenged? Remember the scene where he as talking to a young black athlete who was renowned for his high school and college football abilities before he got hurt...and I quote..."they must have been tossing hookers through your bedroom window" ...referring to how sought after this kid was in high school by the major colleges... That film is at least 10 years old now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smith 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2004 Nothing will happen. This is nothing new around here. Plus NCAA can not take away the championship, because it is from the BCS not NCAA. It's funny that the people that back him up all have been kicked of the team. One for having crack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JGraz15 53 Report post Posted November 10, 2004 I wonder if OSU gets sanctioned and the 2002 Nat'l Championship is awarded to the U... Screw the 'U' - there are more thugs on that team than the rest of the country combined. OSU won that game...illegal athletes and all. OSU outplayed Miami in every facet of the game. My favorite thing about that game was how going in everyone was guessing Miami would win like 45-3. Har har....and McGahee's leg was pretty cool too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JR Boucicaut 3803 Report post Posted November 10, 2004 Har har....and McGahee's leg was pretty cool too It saddens me to see that you enjoyed seeing someone's knee blown out.

GekigangarIII 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2004 I guess there were some real eye-openers that Clarett gave away that ESPN cut from the interview before press time...- Apparently there are Kegger's on campus- Many frat boys/sorority girls drive Jeeps- Many people drink that are underage!- Some students don't even study Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There was obvious sarcasim in my comment. Miami fans are still bitter about their upset loss....that is what I am dealing with here. :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JR Boucicaut 3803 Report post Posted November 10, 2004 Let's forget about Clarett for a minute. What about the other guys? Same perks. Non-transferable credits? Damn, is underwater basket-weaving in the course catalogue? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smith 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2004 These guys did not go to school to get a education. ALL schools have classes that will not transfer or even go toward your degree. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JR Boucicaut 3803 Report post Posted November 10, 2004 Understandable. College football is the NFL's farm system. Honestly though, I see the NCAA conducting an investigation. Look at what happened to Michigan - they had those seasons erased from the record books. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GekigangarIII 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2004 Almost all schools have some sort of non-transferable credits. Usually they're courses that are either split apart, or joined together. ie) one school's algebra class is the equivalent of another's 101 and 102 or something similar. just an fyi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smith 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2004 The thing is the NCAA has done a investigation the first time around, and found nothing. They checked on the car stuff and all that. I not saying that they are 100% clean. There is a lot of money around here and a lot of people that love OSU football. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JR Boucicaut 3803 Report post Posted November 10, 2004 LOL, I know, I've been there...I understand all of you guys went to OSU, but damn, power volleyball? A football course? Getting 20 credits to play football? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GekigangarIII 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2004 I understand all of you guys went to OSU, but damn, power volleyball? A football course? Getting 20 credits to play football? lol. I'm an OSU graduate, but I can't stand football. If anything I came away hating OSU football more than I did before I was a student, fighting to get back to your house on a Saturday is enough to drive anyone nuts. I couldn't stand the way the university stops the world when there was a game. Not to say I blamed the players, there were a couple that I worked with that I really respected (George comes to mind).

Damn, is underwater basket-weaving in the course catalogue? Like Geki said....all schools have classes like these....and if you are comparing OSU to Miami....I can almost guarantee you OSU is ranked higher in nearly every academic area than Miami...from business to engineering to law and medicine.

JR Boucicaut 3803 Report post Posted November 10, 2004 Really. Perhaps you should read up on the University of Miami. UM is a private school, not a public school. Tuition is almost in the $30k range. It is not an easy school to get into. It has a very good law school and a world-renowned medical program at Jackson Memorial Hospital. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kosydar 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2004 2020 had a special investigation a few years ago showing the top recruits visits to schools. And in some, hot girls are pretty much assigned to bring these guys to parties, show them a good time, and let out if needed at the end of the night. A teacher I had sophomore year told me that when she was in college at OSU (Oregon State University) she was recruited by some people from the athletic department to be a part of the "welcoming committee" for athletic prospects. She is hot, so I believe it. She denies being a part of it, that I don't believe.This type of shit happens at Oregon all the time. You would think that the new $4million+ locker room would be enough, but I constantly see Ducks driving nice new cars. What are you going to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
