Message: [QUOTE="DoctorBombay, post: 5405563, member: 626"] My "rainbows and lollipops" naivete was extinguished a few years back when Jesse Edwards abruptly left the bball team for WVU, because he received a bigger bag. Nevermind that he was gonna be the focal point of the team, one that had a chance to maybe contend and certainly make the tournament. He literally crapped on the program that gave him his chance, developed him, supported him...and instead took the cash. Like it or not thats how the game is played now in college athletics. It's not about loyalty, or honor, or "giving your word", etc. Cynical, yes- but 100% true, IMO. It's all about the Benjamin's. The only question that remains is how much longer will fanbases put up w/ this new reality, before giving up & jumping ship. [/QUOTE]
