Are we done even pretending now?
I'm a MSU fan, which while not the most academically oriented has always had standards that put them ahead of some of those football factories down south. But getting ready for the game against ND this week all I'm hearing about is this trip down to Houston. They did one of those little feel good stories about it on the local channel, on their bye week last weekend they decided to go down to Houston and help volunteer with hurricane repair. They interviewed some of the players and even coaches and they were all saying things to the effect of "Well we didn't have a game, so we didn't have shit else to do." So they had the State university send the team down to Texas on a plane, and pay for hotels for them. Plus obviously food since these guys are on scholarships and have all sorts of rules.
Maybe stay home and go to class once in a while?
*For the record I would be fine with things like this, if the NCAA would stop trying to insist these guys are students and they are getting the benefit of an education.
