Seriously, how fucked up are college sports? It's a joke.

Let me see, we have players applying for and getting 6 years of eligibility. We have players who have spent four years in one school, GRADUATED, and then said "hey shit, I want to still play ball, I'm going to another school". We have players being accepted into our school and other major D1 schools who have great academic reputations, with 19 on ACT's and 850's on SAT's. We have had two special education students at our school, and so has Michigan. The Big Ten just signed a 2.64 BILLION dollar contract, and we tell the talent that has brought that kind of money in all they deserve is a full scholarship. No more than that. Concussed? Fuck you, you're gone. Knee replacement? Fuck you , enjoy life. We'll accept them as a student under circumstances, none of us would have ever gotten into MSU on, yet we're surprised when a guy like Evans can't cut it academically.

It's a joke, it's professional sports when they want to manipulate rules to help the team win, and it's college sports when they need to get rid of a kid for academics.

All that shit, and all I have to say is GO MSU, my alma matter, I hope we manipulate the rules way better than any of those other fuckers out there. I hope we can get shit out of our kids that the other schools can, and I hope my guys in those jerseys win way more than anyone else.

Love college sports.

DWags hit the bottle early today.

nothing you say could diminish my love of MSU sports and the fine young scholar-athletes that represent the university that I love.

I just don't care all that much. I'm just going to live, party, and die. Whatever else happens is cool with me.

Nothing I say can diminish my love for my school. We need to beat the shit out of every school we play, and we need to do it frequently. I have not convinced myself that MSU isnt' the greatest ultruistic university ever created.

Go Greeen.

Don't get me wrong, I love when we win. It completes me.

But really, explain to me why we should have kids with six years of eligibility? Anyone? I mean I took a long time getting out of college, but shit, six years of eligibility? Why not just redshirt every mother fucker for 2 years and say they all had turf toe. We'd be playing 24 year olds against other teams. I like our chances

Every year it feels more and more... I dunno.... Icky.

Alright, you're on, but if we've already ordered hats, you don't get one. Fuck you. And dont' kidnap this thread. I built up my outrage enough to start this fucker up. Now talk about how College sports aren't even amateur anymore. Unless we want them to be, then they are.

Can we stop pretending like we actually care about how rotten college athletics have become? The entire landscape of college athletics - money, corruption, selling out academics - is a response to what the fans want.

Guys I'm kinda worried that I'm less into MSU athletics than I was. Even like a few months ago. I don't even gamble on sports anymore. What's wrong with me? I mean if MSU wins cool. But idk. Just spit balling.
