the only uneducated comment is yours. At least I've heard my information from people who have worked in major division one football programs.

I'd love to hear of the folks you know who've worked in major division one football programs. Presuming you won't name a team, what conference? Big 10? Big 12? Big East? That would make for some interesting discussion.

Big East... thats as far as I'll take it though.

believe me, recruits from most all big schools are supplied girls. You really think that Shapiro stopped off in Hialeah and picked up some crack whores on the side of the street for the players to run trains on? A booster that throws a party and pays strippers to party with the players doesnt just happen in South Beach.

did you read the article I posted? I think it explains it very well. "There is a Nevin Shapiro knock off on every campus"

My father says there is no way Penn State would ever be involved in stuff like that because he has a ton of respect for Joe Pa... but IMO thats just turning a blind eye because you like someone. He also thinks Phillies players didnt use steriods back in the day. Wasnt Penn State winning a ton of games back in the 80's and 90's when the cheating was as bad as its ever been?

I don't dispute that shady dealings are happening, as I said before. But come on, read the report. 72 players, Frank Haith, and other coaches all received some sort of illegal benefit from Teddy Dupay (love the pseudonym, by the way). Throwing a party and having loose sorority girls available is a lot different than renting a room for a night and paying strippers to play hide the salami.

P.S. - debatable that 4/5ths of the Big East could be considered major college football, even with Temple's departure from the league.

did you see the ESPN 30 for 30 documentary on Marcus Dupree?

that was interesting... "My son wont play for Oklahoma unless I get my double wide!!!"

Like I said, big difference between a hostess program (read: loose college co-eds who really love their football) and rounding up a dozen girls at Bare Xposure or Delilah's (couple of Philly references for you) and paying them to do a couple recruits or players.

thats if you really believe Miami is the only place where boosters supply athletes with strippers.

But I personally believe that a university employing hostesses to get underage recruits drunk and blow them is just as bad. I highly doubt they are volunteering their time.

I moved out of PA when I turned 18 so I dont know a lot about the Philly stripper scene. I have more experience at South Florida, Daytona and Tucson Arizona strip clubs. Stripper boat parties are tons of fun! I would definately be joining if I was a U football player!

I firmly believe this benefit should also be provided to overage candidates being recruited for ..other stuff, like perhaps writing bad poyems for the university.

They wouldn't even have to get me...whoa!!...I mean these recruits drunk.

All of this discussion is REALLY making me want to go back to college and be a football star............

Because one is provided by the school (the girls in Gainesville were called Gator Getters ) and the other is provided by the booster. Only difference.

I am 100% in Antitrust's camp on this one. It is going on to varying degrees at all major college programs as well as some of the bigger lower level programs.
