That is as good an article as I have read about not only our situation, but the other two schools as well.

Message to all college basketball fans: If you don't have a team, here's one to support. Our righteous indignation is totally justified and, never mind that I'm an alum, I could not be any prouder to support a team and this fanbase. You know what? This team would make an amazing book and movie. Call it "The Right Way."

bump - read and share this one around
really good interviews w/LB and Nic about everything that's happened this season
Plus Jay Bilas interviewed also and gets into great detail about why LB being tagged as a habitual violator is wrong.

That is a great read and should be required for everyone who has an opinion about LB.

Kind of ironic that the money for the kid to visit his ailing grandmother is now an acceptable provision, and the new player stipends are pretty much the equivalent of what we did to get the death penalty. We were not cheaters, we were trail blazers.

We are change agents. The NCAA should send us thank you notes and flowers.

By far the best and most informative article I have ever read concerning the HORRIBLE crimes Larry committed at each school.
