Has it sunk in yet that the deteriorating Div 1 college football culture has brought us to this point? And college presidents, unable to refuse the money, are responsible for this? Out of greed they have gradually allowed athletes on campus who only want to play sports…and get paid for it. Free college degrees are no longer enough, because these guys are not interested in academics. Or sportsmanship. A wonderful environment for exploitation by opportunists like Harbaugh and his trash NFL culture. More money, in particular gambling money, will only make it worse. We’ve been outwitted, outmatched, and outsmarted again, because we don’t understand the rules yet. Forget the investigations, this is over, our reputation is further tarnished, we will pay $$$ out, lose recruits, and probably watch MSU players go to jail. WHY APOLOGIZE BEFORE THE INVESTIGATION IS COMPLETED? Mel was given bad advice, probably by lawyers, not flaks. An apology these days is seen as a weaklings' admission of guilt, not an honorable exercise. I expect that if someone destroys the Sparty statue this week the reaction in the press will be that "they deserved it". And man, is Harbaugh a slime ball or what?
