Chaos in College Football

[vx]

Has the landscape of college football ever been in more disarray than it is now? We have the USC probation, the Ohio State scandal, the Texas A&M Big XII SEC mess and now the mess involving Nevin Shapiro and the University of Miami.

And it can all be traced back to one simple word: money.

In case you didn't know, college football fans, huge money has corrupted your sport and it is really in bad shape right now. The payouts have gotten way too big and it seriously is hard to sit there with a straight face and criticize a college kid for taking 5 grand when you allow a school to accept $17 million to play in a bowl game.

This stuff is going to get a lot worse before it gets better. And the bigger each bowl payout becomes, the more the scandal there will be.

You've got to love how all this unfolds, corruption is part of the College game and who knows if it will ever end. I doubt it, it's BIG money and unless the NCAA wants to send a clear message they need to use the Death Penalty on Miami and also hit other teams harder from here on out...

I've seen critics say Miami wont get the Death Penalty because College Football is BIG money as I stated above, I think they need to start setting the standards or just let these coaches, players & administrators continue to get away with this corruption after they're long gone from the program while those who were not part of it suffer...

That's the part that is really hard to swallow. The kids at USC on probation are suffering for what Reggie Bush while he continues to cash NFL paychecks. You go all the way back to the SMU death penalty. Craig James, Eric Dickerson, et al have turned that time into NFL careers and ESPN careers while those who came after them had to suffer having no scholarships and no chance at all to compete against even a D-2 school.

Dear NCAA: Your system is beyond broken.

Just pay the kids and be done with it.

Seriously. The college system itself is broke. Let alone the athletic part of it. Just like this country; the entire landscape needs to be torn down and rebuilt in order to fix anything.

There are so many options that may never fix this corruption, you could pay the students and that still may not stop the cheating and you could have the NFL laydown a new law for incoming players who are found cheating. But that might take money away from the NFL if it's a big player who could be the next NFL star that cheated, in the end it's all a bad situation...
