Seriously? lol. How about the next kid who couldn't study and/or play because some clown wanted to use a scholarship to scam the system and extend his eligibility; the reputation and resources of a university that offers a place, classroom facilities, professors, scheduling, dormitory room, study table, unlimited food ... all to a poser "student athlete"; the potential effect on the APR (if this counts); potential further problems with the NCAA; the wasted staff and tutor time used by the huckster to "keep up" with classes he or she has no intention of completing ... yada, yada, yada. If you think this should fly at SU you obviously have us confused with Kentucky or 'Bama.

The "harm" is no different than what any NCAA violation causes ... it's against the rules no matter whether we agree with the NCAA or not. We're part of the system and have to play fair, or were no better than the D-Leaguers.  I mean, is it aok to hire strippers and feed cocaine to recruits ... what harm does THAT cause ... or is it just that you guys don't quite "get" the idea that an education is the most valuable skill that any SA obtains from his/her college experience. If you're so short-sighted you can't see that .. check out some of the many NBA/NFL rejects .. the guys that have no degree and shredded knees or multiple concussions. Sheesh .. why should this stuff even have to be explained?
