Sense Of Fear & Panic Permeating Over Southern Cal?

Yep.

I’m suprised that he thinks they might have to pay back benefits. I haven’t heard of that but sports is big business for suc and I would like to see them give up TV revenue because that is how the “school” benefitted from ignoring the rules.

I don’t care what they say now, I’ll have no sympathy for suc.

i think its interesting that in the first comment he calls the ncaa investigators bastards for daring to investigate suc and that hes ok with suc stonewalling.

who knew some of them nearly had a grip on reality? Nothing like staring down the barrel of a gun to wake you up, I suppose. Here’s hoping the NCAA has a spine.

I have three friends who are SCalumni though only one played and only according to Mike Garrett a minor sport. One has been so mad since the Bush thing started that his grandchildren will not attend SC and he has contibuted nothing and urging other of his fellow alumni to keep buying football tickets and give them away to non-fans. He is really pissed. Another says what did anyone expect in view of fraudulent academics. The ex-athlete says Garrett should follow Sample and Carr9oll and get the hell out of town.

This afternoon, Tom Kelly, retired trojan announcer, introduced Mike “I See No Evil” Garrett at the annual CHP Day luncheon in Montebello. Garrett spoke on leadership. During his introduction, Kelly admitted that as an announcer he was a “homer.” That was no news flash.

Then Kelly defended Garrett stating the AD was responsible for the welfare of 624 athletes. Kelly then said something to the effect of how hard it is to keep track of more than 620 athletes. And the AD is a man of integrity who will not duck difficult problems. That’s a paraphrase but pretty close.

This is a preview of the trojan defense once the NCAA does whatever it is going to do. There are too many athletes to supervise (and you know, kids will be kids) and by gosh Mike did the darn best he could under these very difficult circumstances. Problem is—how come no other athletic director has had this problem?

Although your post is classic satire, it goes to the heart of a leader’s obligation—to organize in order to accomplish the institutional mission. Here there was some other institutional mission; i.e. winning.

198 days now until kickoff against sc.

I have read ridiculous speculation that any BRUIN would EVER dream of wanting the Dirty Trogan’s "accomplishments". Looking at their "accomplishments" this past decade, is like analyzing every baseball player who did ’roids and honestly believing that they belong in the hall of fame. Regardless of where you stand on that issue, Baseball will always be considered Tainted during that era, much like u$c though, they refused to tackle their issues head on, and many attempted to cover it up.

 It’s beyond their comprehension that UCLA simply prepares and produces better products. In fact, even when I was a freshman in high school, I’ll never forget my Tennis coach telling me, "Most of the people who go to u$c are the rich kids who got rejected from UCLA". And that was coming from the guy who graduated from u$c as a Communications major. I can also say, his father owned the Sports Club and handed him a job there.

For whatever reason, individuals associated with private enterprises have manipulated situations for their individual and personal gains. It’s encouraging to actually see some trogans accepting the possibility that certain individuals may have looked for the cheap and easy way to win. However ALL those “geniuses” over at CC are in total denial of it! Oh well, I’ll take my education, and EVERY SINGLE accomplishment UCLA has had in the past 30 years, over any Tainted National Football Championship over at Figueroa Tech. Keep your dirty program Trogans, Bruins will always win out in the end!

Sooner or later, those who play by the rules and constantly lose are going to convince themselves that they cannot win without cheating. With so much money and prestige to be gained or lost, even the most honest, ethical, and moral organizations (and their leaders) will start bending the rules to win if there is not a level playing field. This is just what the Trogans are counting on. They want to see CRN caught bending or breaking the rules so they can say everyone does it therefore they are justified.

As typical with my attitude on all things related to UCLA sports, I am getting suckered into some very positive thinking here. While I tell myself that sc will get no more than a slap on the wrist, I find myself thinking that the longer it takes for the NCAA to rule here, the harder sc is going to get pounded. If it was just going to be a minor slap, wouldn’t the NCAA be done with it already?

their discussion has devolved in to arguing and personal attacks. It’s pretty sad.

Maybe the NCAA was trying to find the source of a leak so that they can plug it. Lol!

Not everyone loves the AD but if there are bits of info filtering out it could be a plant or comming from,pardon the expression, an academic administrative department
