Thanks for finding that TB.
I'm trying to follow ARK and Rutgers as best I can.
Stan is still onthe learning curve and had to know that grabbing the brass ring was not going to be a picnic. It's a tough go in the SEC and in Hog-land especially.
Let's keep an eye on it.

Just some quick remarks on that...
1) ESPN later printed a correction to that article, b/c the death penalty is in no way a possibility for the UA.
2) This year's recruiting class is 4 instead of 5, b/c Arkansas has already cut into scholarships for the last 3 years, which the NCAA has to credit us (and has credited us) with. However, football will take the hit.
This isn't as big as the media wants it to be. Michigan overpaid by 600k, Alabama by 150k. This is 4k to 20 athletes, and overall tallies to an average of $33.00 extra a paycheck, nothing compared to Alabama's or Michigan's tallies. We're scared the NCAA is gonna make a guinea pig out of us for other schools' boosters to see, but otherwise...we shouldn't get near the punishments that Alabama received.

Axeme, a Rutgers fan here. Just dropped by to say THANKS FOR COACH WATERS!!! He is doing a fantastic job turning our program around and he's doing it with class. I'll post as many articles as I can about coach and the team on the Rutgers board. By the way we had a solid win today against Temple!!!
