I'm not saying that we're "lilly white." I just don't think that we have to cheat to get back to the championship level. The Muschamp era and his inadequacies have brought this program to an all time low-- to the point where even the fans are lowering their standards.
What I am saying is that the UF athletic administration and boosters will not fall into that trap. Sure, the pressure is high but I would like to believe that great coaching will overcome it.
Look at what happened last season--before the whole Grier fiasco. Many on this board didn't give us a chance against ole miss. But somehow we were able to dominate that game. A lot of people had to eat crow.
Now let's say that coach Mac can find a serviceable QB. The O line is improving, and we have a spark in the running game. There shouldn't be too much of a drop off in defense. If we can give the recruits something to be excited about, then the classes will improve.
When you are trying to recruit these young men, now you have something to give them--something to go along with the fact that they are also getting a first-class education. That doesn't happen if you compromise the integrity of the university. And UF isn't getting away with anything. Let's face it, we're a target for negativity in the media. We would be the first to land on probation.
It's all about money. Bspn's love affair with fsu has everything to do with TV contracts. That has changed a bit with the advent of the SEC network but there is still their love affair with bama. No wonder they get away with so much shyt. But look at what happened to Miami. Think about it.
I'm not saying that they are all cheaters--I have no proof to back such a claim. But like cover2 replied: it happens and we're nieve to think that UF is "lilly white." But we're still better than them, and I don't see any reason why the "business" of college football should push us into that direction.
This is funny.
