Were you just trolling everyone before?

Make that trade yesterday

Knox I guess, if you have to.

Nobody's on Pearl's level

Like I said, I think boosters are a much bigger issue, but if you've got "friends of the program" who your coach can steer the kid to in return for you delivering him to the university for a certain fee, I could see it.

Yes

What are these perceived squeecky clean state schools? Notre Dame? Air Force? I'm not sure anybody with half a brain would be surprised to hear a kid from any school took money from an agent at some point. I bet the average fan would be surprised to hear Duke players took money

I would think boosters paying kids is a bigger "issue" than agents. Seems to make a lot more sense for for a booster to be handing out $200,000 to a 17 year old to go to a certain school than for an agent, but I don't doubt similar things can happen with agents. They have their connections to certain coaches the same way AAU coaches do, and everyone along the way gets their kickbacks. That said, I think it's pretty damn cynical to believe every program has agents/boosters paying players. When a kid gets a few bucks here and there for an agent, that's tougher to track, but if a coach sees the kid on the team with no money driving around campus in a hummer, he knows what's going on. Without the liability tied directly to the coach, it's easy for him to turn his head and say he wasn't involved, some choose that route, some don't

If you believe that agents paying players only happens at select schools, how is it not a competitive advantage? If I'm a high school athlete and know I can get paid at Kentucky, Memphis, or UMass, but can't get paid at Northwestern, how is that not an advantage?
-
Um, it is him as well. He's not an agent anymore.
-
He better be

You can root for Kerry

I'd take Schaub, Jennings (assuming a healthy Rodgers), Torain, and Flacco

I should clarify, I love seeing them look into Drew, I don't love the benefit gained by IU.

This guy sounds like a self-important douchebag

Remlinger auctioning off Sosa's corked bat...

I fully expect it to be hung over the bar at one of the south side's finest establishments. -
What was it that Stalin said about arrests in the SEC?
-
I agree especially since this likely means Hanner is headed to IU. \:D/ Baylor and IU were his leaders. That was my first thought #-o

and Colombian White in respect for Washington.

Dan Devine.

What's the Mike Remlinger story?

None. In May, 2009 Forbes had Fisher and Lovie Smith as the highest paid NFL coaches ($5.5 mil). I think Saban is close to the highest paid college coach at $4+ mil a year. Lovie was near the top a couple years ago, but I believe he was surpassed by a few guys since then. Shanahan is at the top at 7.5M according to forbes

Dungy, Gruden and Cowher are almost certainly not going to coach at the collegiate level – no matter the prestige of the school. Especially not since almost any NFL team would hire any of the three in a heartbeat. I'm not so sure that is true of Gruden. I don't think it's true of Dungy either, as he seems to be a guy that values teaching/mentoring kids. But you are going to have to pay any of them NFL money ($10Mil/year) to coach. What NFL coach is making 10M/year?

Bears game 6: Sunday Oct. 17 vs SEA on FOX
SouthSideRyan replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Other Sports
Carolina's about as close as you can get. Except for Buffalo -
Or it was the 200 HR and 4 starting pitchers with 200+ innings and sub 4 ERA. Well the Red Sox didn't actually win because Kevin Millar Cowboy upped. Perception is more important when discussing reactionary offseason plans
