Wasn't that the point of traffic school?

No...and he didn't cheat. Cheating would be like taking PEDs, not

I say yes because every school was absolutely doing what he did at the time.

How did the SEC take down USC? Evidence, please, no conjecture. I'll wait.

He didn't do anything against the rules to make himself the best player.

Did he cheat or did USC cheat?

Dr T-bone

Both cheated?

Yes

Enticing him with money to play for an excellent team didn’t benefit him? What

BlooCoug

Apr 24, 8:20am

...um...are you implying that as a recruit, if not for the money...

The Dark Knight

Hard to know. Some good programs don’t have excellent offensive lines. The fact

He was a 5 star athlete recruited by Oregon, Washington, Texas, ND. He’s winning the heisman at any of those schools.

No matter what he was going to play for a top team

I have no problem with it. He/USC got busted for doing the same thing schools

I'd love to see a class action lawsuit against the NCAA and its staff

Absolutely, it’s not like he was taking performance enhancing drugs. he played

I'd like to see equal application of the law, seems like USC and Bush were

"Other people did it too" is hardly a compelling reason to let an offender off

And you think they were doing that here? If so, based on what?

Gustav

I'll give just one example. Jonny Manziel. He was getting hundreds of thousands

What are you suggesting?

Gustav
