I usually play as 1 star programs and then turn them around and feel good about myself, my dogs nickname me "the turnaround artist" (so I can imagine)

Hoping they work out the legal poo poo and release an NCAA game this year

How come college football doesn't suffer from the slightly racist/rear end in a top hat feel I get from anyone who likes college basketball more then the NBA.

Gregg Easterbrook makes some good points in one of his football books.
Basically many ncaa programs make a poo poo ton of money, some keep their whole university afloat
The students are practicing far too much to get a useful education. Which may be fine for the star future athletes, but what about the dozens of second and third stringers who have to practice evey afternoon and evening?
Also colleges dont care about students' health: once they are out of the program the college isnt liable. So they want everyone to play through injuries they shouldnt, and they produce athletes far above a healty weigt and then turnthem loose with no help getting into solid health

Easterbrook suggested every big collece football student get an extra year, free ride to attend the school after they have used up their sports eligibility. Gives them time tofinish out a real degree, make professional contacts, and utilize the student health program

giving them a stipend is a good idea but once you start paying them with w2s and all that it gets questionable

you dont go to college to get paid but football takes up so much time that they cant have outside jobs so a stipend solves that

It's so stupid when they do get caught. I've seen the "part-time" jobs they show up for maybe once or twice a week for a few minutes and receive awesome perks like company cars and other assorted free poo poo noone else gets. You can totally coast through college like a king on stuff like that and these other idiots not only do this but take fortunes from boosters and buy a car for their mom. How did you plan on explaining that you loving retard?
