In the caase of USC it seems the AD was out of control too so they had to clean house.

These penalties can hurt the programs for years too. SMU was anational power and all these years later theyre still nothing. other teams that have been sanctioned can take several years to recover. Esp if they get dinged on how many scholar ships they can offer.

They should just cut to the chase and pay the fucking kids out in the open.
They should be paid something like minor league baseball players. College is just prep for the big league anyway.

It is clearly evident that most student athletes (football players anyway)don't go to college for a formal education.

I don't see what that bullshit has to do with a skill based award.

Some of them don't even go to class. At all.

Yep. If he was found to be on steroids or something like that Id be all for taking it away, but for moral/eligibility reasons? Thats BS.

Is the Heisman awarded to the best college football player or the best college football citizen?
