The thing about this that really stands out is that 23 players are going to receive discipline. What number of them probably DID break the rules, but were not found to have done so by the administration? I mean, at FSU, players have regularly gotten a break when it comes to academics in favor of having them on the field.

Most of us have always questioned the eligibility of some of these guys anyway. How many of us have uttered the words "How did that guy get qualified?" And not just at FSU, but at other fine institutions as well? There have even been times when I've questioned my own Alma Mater, the U of A. All that being said, I can confidently say that Bama is running the cleanest program in the NATION right now. That's right. I said it. I believe that Vandy would bend the rules before UA would.

We've had our fill of the Nazis and we walk a tight, tight line nowadays.

[QUOTE="ExiledTidefan, post: 396668, member: 14049"] The thing about this that really stands out is that 23 players are going to receive discipline. What number of them probably DID break the rules, but were not found to have done so by the administration? I mean, at FSU, players have regularly gotten a break when it comes to academics in favor of having them on the field. Most of us have always questioned the eligibility of some of these guys anyway. How many of us have uttered the words "How did that guy get qualified?" And not just at FSU, but at other fine institutions as well? There have even been times when I've questioned my own Alma Mater, the U of A. All that being said, I can confidently say that Bama is running the cleanest program in the NATION right now. That's right. I said it. I believe that Vandy would bend the rules before UA would. We've had our fill of the Nazis and we walk a tight, tight line nowadays. [/QUOTE]
