BCS = "Big Corrupt System"

I love OSU response. OSU proudly proclaims that Clarett lied to the NCAA 17 times. Shot, if I got paid half of what OSU was paying Clarett I would lie too. That is a pretty good deal and one can't blame Clarett for wanting to protect a system that paid him so well.

As always, nothing will happen except maybe Centenary College will be given a 10 year probation and loss of all scholarships just so the NCAA can say how it takes serious violations (Centenary will get caught allowing a transfer student to substitute the SAT for the ACT or some such serious violation).

The most serious violation in the eyes of the NCAA is not being a member of the BCS.

The NCAA probably requires new hires to sign an agreement that they concur with ponyte's statement...sort of a organizational values pledge.

Ponyte, interesting example of Centenary....

Back in the 70's--
Robert Parrish was 'given' a couple of zip codes in/around Shreveport for staying & playing @ Centenary (before he went to the NBA & became "Hall of Fame" w/ Celtics).
Although the "Chief" got Cent. into the 'Top 20', nobody cared BECAUSE HE DID NOT BEAT LSU (during his career)!
BUT... But...
SAME STORY "BUT" SMU BEAT UT-- & all HELL broke loose.

It's not what you do when you bend the rules... it's who you beat that gets you into trouble... WORD
