BillyVance 35 #1 February 25, 2005 Wow... Chaney suspended for the rest of the basketball season for sending in a player for the purpose of being a 'goon', who subsequently fouled out after just 2 minutes of play and caused a player on the other team to break an arm! Do they really miss hockey all that much???

Don't remember the year, maybe 1994? Chaney was suspended for one game for threatening to kill opposing coach John Calipari during a post-game press conference... Temple should do the right thing and let him go at the end of the season."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When you get to the top tier, college sports is soley about generating revenue for the school. Terms like sportsmanship, team building and personal development are all just bs trappings they put on it to make it look a little more cute and cudly. The only thing exceptional about this is that the coach was blatant enough to get caught. Now I'm not saying that's right, just how it is. -Blind"If you end up in an alligator's jaws, naked, you probably did something to deserve it." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Student" athletes in most NCAA schools' football and basketball programs long since ceased being bona-fide students. Real student athletes are only found in programs like gymnastics, crew or lacrosse where there's no money to be made.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

Some institutions, sure, but using the word 'most' is just plain wrong. Drop down a division or two and open your eyes. You just might find a few excellent athletes that actually play because they love the game.

It was fun though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's quite possible, John. I'm ot arguing division 1. I'm trying to point out that division one is NOT "most NCAA schools" as you stated. I personally resent being lumped into the same category as schools that pay recruiters more than Professors. I don't have the figures right in front of me, and I'm quite tired, much to tired to go searching for figures, but I'd be willing to bet that Division 1 schools are in the minority (in terms of numbers of campuses) when compared to Division 2 and up. Anyone care to try and prove me wrong? Like I said, there's some Division 1 schools out there that are bad, but don't knock down the entire NCAA because of it.It's your life, live it!
