Not that it matters to him now ... but the 04 national championship is going away.
When he fails at Seattle ... where will he go next? ASU of course With Texas and Ok poised to join their division they are farthur then ever from a Rose Bowl and they have already proven they are more then happy to hire cheaters

He will be winning superbowls with the Hawks for years to come you fools, just want to hear his spin on the out of control crap he was in charge of. In the NFL world none of the violations mean a thing. The real problem in the NCAA is that it is a company that makes huge $ off the backs of slave labor ie athletes.
Hey I saved you two bozos the last seats on the Sun Devil bandwagon to Omaha, enjoy the ride and GO DEVILS!

it s time to start paying college atheletes a monthly stipend so stuff like this doesnt happen. Especially with the lucrative tv contracts being talked about for the big 12 channel and the like.

Good Idea. I'm going to enrol in my local CC and turn out for the soccer team. College FB's already gotten bad enough. Time to nip it all in the bud and start expelling players on the take and banning teams from competition.

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

Room and board and a college scholarship should count as a monthly stipend.

They should but not all players are on scholarship.

Pete is one step ahead of the game for now.
Seattle will show his true colors, like they did for Mora.
I give him 3 years, and it'll be on to the next guy.

College sports are great because of the college athletes and students.
College sports suck because of the people who try and regulate them.
The system is set up for sleaziness. The NCAA rules for recruiting make normal business activities illegal, and so every school breaks the rules in one way or another. Collegiate athletics is a business, a revenue generator.
When a school gets caught 'illegaly recruiting', the student athletes who were part of the issues are already gone, and the athletes currently at the school get punished for something they didn't do.There is no easy solution. There is millions at stake for the coaches and they don't make those dollars by following the rules, they make them by winning, and pretending to follow the rules.
If it is going to be a business, then we need to let the normal rules of business apply. Recruiting costs should be a line item. Now we have this system where the coach kisses the player's ass, he gives mom a hug, and then winks and lets an alumni know the account number. The students who are looking to get paid to play are going to get it one way or another, so let's just get it in the open.
Trust me, even if fans of a school know a kid is there because his mom is living in a 5k/month condo, and he got an Acura they are still going to like him if he wins. It is not amateur athletics.
I did play Junior college soccer, and I had a scholarship and "work study", which for 20 dollars a day, I was a towel boy in the women's body conditioning class. I worked for an hour/day. I handed towels to the girls as they came into class, and then ensured they dropped them into the laundry bin on the way out the door. Now, this was a little too hard for me to do on my own, I had 2 other team-mates work with me. Our shift was from 1100-1220. This was arranged so that they didn't break some hokey scholarship rule. The NCAA and all of these regulating bodies are just kidding themselves.

9/25 My Cougs lower the Hammer on the Peterless SC. Our academics have gone through the roof. Also Wulff has his back against the wall, so I'm sure we'll win at least 3 games maybe 4. I'm freaking serious here. Mf

Well the USC PR machine is in full gear. They got busted so now lets try to drag some other schools down as fell.
Via ESPN: Meanwhile, USC true freshman running back Dillon Baxter told the school's director of compliance that five schools illegally contacted him in the wake of USC's NCAA penalties, according to a document reviewed by ESPN's Joe Schad.
In a letter written by USC director of compliance Matt Billings to Pac-10 Associate Commissioner for Governance and Enforcement Ron Barker, Florida, Washington, Oregon, Fresno State and Alabama allegedly contacted Baxter.
The letter states in part: "I just met with [Baxter] and he told me that he received phone calls from five institutions [June 10th]. All of the institutions asked if he was interested in transferring from USC due to the NCAA decision. Would you please speak with these schools to remind them they cannot speak to this student athlete?"
Florida spokesman Steve McClain said the school denies the accusation.
"No one from Oregon has talked or spoken with Dillon Bazter since his official visit in January," Oregon football coach Chip Kelly said when reached for comment.
