Not with all the advantages they have, yet they still flaunt the rules and get preferential treatment from corrupt officials. I don't see the red and gray as anything to be proud of myself. Not anymore.
They still have to step it up to catch the scandal-ridden SEC. At least the Big10 is well regarded for academics. The SEC? Not so much..

Maybe thats why we don't get enough 4 & 5 star recruits. Not enough tatoos, SUV's etc. Or if your in the SEC you can just give money.

Yeah, ethics and sportsmanship have taken a back seat to money anymore. Sad.
