Sorry, I have to defend Pell, here. "Rubbin is racin, Son." What Pell was doing was what the competition was also doing at that time. The NCAA unfortunately decided to make him the example. Giving recruits hats and t-shirts, allowing walk-ons to sleep in the athletic dorms and having assistants climb trees to spy on the opposition's practice is mild in comparison to what still goes on today.
Charley Pell, literally built our program and the booster organization. No Gator fan should associate cheating with Pell but instead all the good he brought to the program including our first SEC Championship and four d@mn exciting years of football way better than we've seen in the last four years.
