Didn’t realize Tom Mars was a part of this thing. I’m not sure there’s a person on earth that wants to take the NCAA down more than him.
How so? I thought Mars went to work for NCAA about 4 or 5 years ago. Is he still with them? I think I remember reading something where he was not happy with the new Transfer portal rules even though he was an athlete transfer advocate in his previous life (maybe cause he lost business?).
Nevermind. I looked it up. The Tom Mars thing. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/ot...e-to-tennessee-ncaa-investigation/ar-BB1hw4nd
When it comes to Tennessee matters, Tenny and I are like the same person. It's eerie. I ALSO think Pat Forde should get [uck fay]ed!
Basilio just said on the basketball postgame that he doesn’t expect this to amount to anything. Says it will be in his blog and he will discuss it on tomorrow’s show.
I don't want it to just fade away. I want blood. The accusation and the manner in which they put it out there is real damage to the brand and perception. We need compensation.
Just my luck… I suffer through 15 agonizing years, waiting on Nick Saban to retire, only for Tennessee to get the death penalty as soon as Alabama begins its decline.
IMO this is not the NCAA we were raised fearing. Over the past few years they have become a tiger with no fangs or claws thanks to the 9-0 ruling in the Supreme Court, States passing laws, Expansion, NIL, Portal, etc.
This isn’t fair at all. We’re just like everybody else trying to compete against the Bamas of the world and have a decent football program for the school, the fans, and the state. We are not doing anything different than anybody else. We weren’t doing anything different than anyone else in 2020 (other than having an idiot in charge of it.) The NCAA continuing to use us as a whipping boy again and again is just unconscionable.
