Message: [QUOTE="Newhouser, post: 5191904, member: 5155"] I know we dislike him and his word choice was lacking - but Sankey was correct. Why would the SEC or Big 10 participate? This is a cultural war on the importance of college football and willingness of schools to fund it. SU isn't worried about the overall environment, they are worried about staying with the big boys while not having the money to do so. just like 100 other schools. Proud alum, but SU and their kind are up against it. Fan base not rabid enough to fund and when the school has to pick up that tab they will tap out. Kent putting up a good front here by fighting for the student athlete, and garnering support from us fans, but our fate is sealed unless we want to buck up. Also I still find it comical that the system was untenable once the players started getting paid. As long as the school and its administrators got paid things were A-Ok. [/QUOTE]
