There was strong evidence (like calls on cell phones to escort services) but no "proof" that school officials knew about it.
That Nathan guy must have been well compensated for falling on his sword that hard.

Pac-12 knows how to treat their players right.
Even when they were Big 12, they knew that in the future they were going to join the Pac-12 so they had to represent their conference properly.

So this happened?
Yeah, Clemson was Doomed by the Hands of Fate.
I knew it was bad at that point, but then when they had the 99 yard return for a TD I knew for sure that the football gods had forsaken us.
Hey, remember when you swore up and down during the preseason that you guys would beat the shit out of us? Please remember to do that again next season.

I'd be much more interested in the MNC game if it was LSU and Oklahoma State.
Oh and it appears Dwayne Allen doesn't need NFL money because he has all the money he needs at Clemson....Wait what?

It's actually pretty cheap to live in Clemson.
Hopefully he means that the Scholly helps keep food in his belly and a stable roof over his head, and he's ok with that.
Dan Wetzel knows where to go next.

I really don't think our athletic department is in a financial position to be paying kids under the table. And if our fans can't be bothered to fill a BCS bowl game, I doubt they're helping out either. If we were paying players we would've got Clowney. Unless South Carolina is paying more.
South Carolina pays in Golfing Lesson's and Best Western Bucks.
And just about every bowl game has been short on attendance.
Did you guys not hear? They canceled the MNC game this year, and are just awarding the mythical title to the SEC. Dunno how you missed this, they announced it at the same time they announced all the BCS games.
I have a feeling if Bama wins, you'll be just as mad. There's no way you'll come away from this game with content since you're harboring resentment for both teams.

I think it's just Bama, nobody can really say LSU doesn't deserve to be there (well, after Georgia...), he (and others) will just be pissed at Bama one way or the other. And I think it was implied in his post.
Or rather, pissed at the people who put them in this position in the first place?
Confirmed?

I think so
Gilmore is gone too
About the MNC:
I'm not even as interested in the actual "winning the championship" as I was in 2009.
This game, it's all about beating LSU. If Alabama wins, I'm going to be banned from every Sports Message Board I can find. This is about making a Verbal Shit Sandwich, and feeding it to any LSU Fan I can find.

They have 7 home games next year. SEVEN. That's positively SEC-esque. They don't even play a road game until the last weekend in September.
The only thing I can see working against them is that 2 of their final 6 games are at home. But then those 4 road games are USC, ASU, OSU, and Cal so its not exactly a gauntlet. Well that and the fact they won't be winning any SoS contests.
His post was somewhat vague, but yeah. He mad.
I don't dislike anyone involved except Saban--I just don't think Bama deserves to be in the MNCG. If they manage to beat LSU in NOLA it's a great win, but to me LSU still deserves to be called national champion no matter what that stupid Dr. Pepper trophy says.
LSU has shown their quality all season against superior competition, and it's unfair for them to have to play a team they already beat once on the road.

UCF 2012 OOC is:
@ Akron
@ Ohio State
*Kansas State
Florida International
* If they don't back out like rumored. Outside shot at a replacement would be Oklahoma at home, otherwise we'll be stuck finding a FCS team.

Interesting. Jeffery could definitely be good in the NFL if he has a competent QB to give him the ball. That article was correct in that the QB play being down definitely impacted his numbers. That and Lattimore being out so long meant teams could pay more attention to him.
Ahh, so what you're saying, is that we should all go back to naming the national champion before the bowl games!
Are you talking to Gondo, or to every college football fan everywhere?
Because... no shit.

It'd be better than this ESPN turdburger, yes.

We should have a playoff, or at least a plus-one.
You're not alone in that. A lot of journalists have mentioned that they think LSU deserves the MNC title regardless of if they win the game or not.

Preliminaries are in, last night's Orange Bowl pulled a 4.5, worst BCS rating ever.
It'd be hilarious if LSU barely lost, and their fans suddenly had to be in favor of split titles and the AP Poll. "No, really, the AP is the only one that really matters!"

Is this a Sophie's Choice situation, can we make them lose one of the titles?
This is exactly what I saw of the game:
Dabo saying "we hope America comes away with this game, that the Clemson Defense did well"
And
WVU player being interviewed on the winners podium after the game.
I played Saints Row 3 in between all of this.

I was playing SWTOR while the game was on. I saw the 99 yard fumble return during a loading screen.
Was never really paying attention to most of the game, so I was surprised when I looked up and WVU had hooked 60 by the third.

Well the game was over by halftime. The Clemson section forgot to come back after halftime too. Blowouts are not rating/viewer friendly.
I assume you hate Saban because of how he ranked OSU 4th in the Coaches Poll to give Alabama a slight edge? Yeah, that's a dick move, couldn't agree more. I understand why he did it, but it's still a dick move.
Thing is, If Alabama won in OT 9-6, we would be in a nearly identical situation. #1 Bama v. #2. LSU. I can promise you that. That's why the media was predicting a rematch before Nov. 5th even happened.
Unfair? Really? Speak for youself. Les Miles commented directly after the UA-LSU game that "it would be an honor to face Alabama again [This season]", and the LSU players shouted, clapped, cheered in excitement after the BCS bowl matchups were announced. Judging from those comments and reactions, LSU seems pretty happy with who they're facing.

Yeah, but this has been going on for years at the Orange Bowl.
Only 7 BCS bowls have had a 7.0 or less rating, 5 of them have been Orange Bowls, all of those have been since 2006. They need to get out of this ACC deal, or pray that FSU gets good again.
I would argue Alabama had a crappier schedule then LSU.
Michigan had eight home games this year and didn't even play Wisconsin.
You would be correct.
Yeah, I'm not sure just seven is enough to qualify as SEC-esque.
That's not even an argument, that's a fact.

When was the last time Florida left the state for an OOC game?
I had a point, but completely forgot what it was.
Only *slightly*.

Remember, they beat Penn State before they fired everyone for pedo rape! Pay no attention to that ass whooping that Houston put on them.
1991. They went up to NY for their first out of state OOC in a decade, got beat down by Syracuse, and decided they'd never do that again.

No one cares about FSU anymore. Really, it just needs to be two at-large teams.
Oh hey, Zona has 8 home games next year. WTF dudes.
Cal might have the toughest schedule in the conference, even with Southern Utah on it. We miss what might be the two worst teams in the conference, Colorado and Arizona, we've got an OOC in the Horseshoe, and we don't have a bye week. Yikes.

Oh wait a second, Arizona is playing South Carolina STATE, not SCAR.
Boy I feel silly.
Was just reading that on Ted Miller's blog, ouch.
