College sports is a dirty business, especially big time football in a conference like the SEC. While I can't say I blame the UConn fans for being upset about the accusations thrown by UT in 2006, the fact is most big time football and men's basketball programs get accusations thrown at them like that very often and that's just part of the game. The amounts of money at stake are borderline obscene and I love college football but there is an ugly side to the sport.

I'm not stupid, there are no programs in a revenue generating sport at the D1 level that would escape a major investigation unscathed. The pressure to win is tremendous and many schools will do whatever they can to win.

What's nice about this board is that even if there is an occasional spirited post, most dialogue is kept at a fairly high level. I followed an old SEC football board several years back and it was ridiculous how childish and vile some of the dialogue could be.
