I think Florida is an excellent program. They represent the SEC well across the board and arguably better than any other team (they're really good at a lot of sports :thumb:) in the conference from top to bottom.

Again, I read it that they were the only team that represented the conference well.
I totally understand.. we don't do to bad

Sooner the NCAA gives up on Amateurism the better.

Yeah, I think the question now is whether or not the AD keeps his job. Pitino is toast.

Pitino should have been toast years ago.

I do find it ironic that him and Pearl are in the news (again) for the wrong reasons.

They both should be banned from the sport.

No doubt. As far as Auburn and Pearl go, its generally not a good idea to hire someone that already has a show-cause on his resume.

It's official... Tom Jurich is out as AD at Louisville.

They need to clean that program out. Football included, and quit hiring criminals.

Now that the Louisville AD is out, I expect to see Pitino following quickly behind. However, Ricky P has a clause in in his contract that he must receive a 10 day notice before termination (how weird is that?).

Regardless, no way he survives this one. HE GONE!

RIP. He took Louisville from the C-USA to the ACC in less than twenty years. I mean, that probably doesn't happen if John Swofford isn't a total dummy, but it still happened. That is a pretty big accomplishment.

Good riddance, though. He deserves heavy criticism right now.

Yep. Hopefully Sean Miller and Bruce Pearl are next :D

Nothing like your two biggest rivals being investigated by the FBI.

I can't say that I'm shocked at the events that have been revealed over the last 24 hours but at the same time, it is somewhat surreal to see all this going down with some big time programs and coaches.

Also, maybe it's just that I live in Nashville but I haven't really heard much about Zona, Miami and a couple of the other schools involved when compared to the attention Louisville is getting right now.

I've said it once already... I hate to see all this going down but at least this board of super active now.

I came from the old CBS message boards where college basketball never slept and trash talking was at an all time high. I miss those days.

Louisville is already on probation and didn't they literally hand a player (or his family) $100,000 in cash? I don't think the evidence against the other six schools is as clear cut as that.

You're correct... but I understood that the other schools involved basically did the same thing or at the very least offered cash to recruits through back channels but were ultimately outbid. I could be absolutely incorrect here.

Regardless, it's ugly across the board.
