Memphis isn't important enough to be allowed to cheat. But I love how they just thumbed their nose at the NCAA

Uhmmm, sir. You do realize that living stipends are about 4 years old now right? In addition to tuition, meals, housing (which can be games pretty well) and 1,500 year for books they also get a col stipend. It's 4400 per year at Clemson...notbsure elsewhere.
Now don't mistake what I'm saying. I actually support paying players...but the starving kid line is overblown as well.
Btw don't you have a daughter who plans to play college ball? Educate yourself, thoroughly, on the rules. Please. Not being rude, it could impact her. For example your prior comment...an uncke has a pre exusting relationship..they can give anything they want without limit. It's only unrelated that is subject to scrutiny.
