Saban is known to be a democrat. Reading between the lines you can make some assumptions about his attitudes about other stuff (he's clearly got more of an open mind about say, weed, than some other coaches), but it's hard to get him to talk about that kind of thing. The only time he's gotten outright political was when he was pushing through legislation to help kids with autism.

If Clemson has been bribing basketball recruits, we should ask for our money back.

Proud Christian Mom posted:arent they using a distant cousin of the Uga's now since the others were so horribly bred That was Russ, who later became Uga IX. Russ wasn't inbred to all hell like the others, and was pleasantly plump rather than hideously obese. He also (gasp) had brown spots. Russ died in December '15 of, unlike the recent others, old age. Uga X is his grandson.

Smokey's lineage has been pretty clean. Up until the current one, Smokey X, they were all from the same bloodline of the original Smokey but not direct descendants. Smokey IX was the awesome one that bit a Bama player that fell on him, and he's still alive and kicking.

Dan Wetzel talked about this on Sirius this morning and basically a lot of it has to do with the one and done rule. Because these kids are in one year and then gone, it's more financially advantageous and carries less risk to go after these basketball kids as opposed to a football player who might get hurt or perform poorly before you ever get a shot at a return on your investment. Also, most of them know they're gone after one year, so they're not really considering the consequences of getting busted because more often than not, by the time that happens, it won't matter. Basically, the money is greater in football but there are too many kids, too much time and too many other factors to make the same kind of cheating worthwhile.

They give a poo poo about people laundering money to bribe coaches/handlers to influence players. While that's surely happening in football it is more likely to be a bunch of isolated boosters doing it to benefit their specific school vs. it being an industry standard practice.

Yeah, and individual basketball players are also a lot more valuable to shoe companies specifically than football players are. No one knows or cares what kind of cleats Tom Brady wears, but LeBron sells a shitload of shoes for Nike

No one actually gives a poo poo about the buyout in that scenario though, or at least not anyone who Petrino might realistically leave Louisville for (and the post I was responding to was clearly implying that he might get fired)
