OHIO STATE at MICHIGAN

This makes me smile.

Quote:You own us. Yup, no doubt about that. And you will own us until name, image and likeness come into effect. IF the NCAA doesn't muck it up, Michigan and the rest of the Big Ten will finally be able to muster a team at the same payroll, you currently have. You see, you have owned the Big 10 since you couldn't fathom losing to Michigan as much as you were. So you went out and hired a known cheater in Jim Tressel. You then opened tje floodgates to paying your players (although many suspected Woody did so as well). You became an $EC school in the Big 10 and nobody has sold their soul as much as you have, to win. And please, don't feign ignorance. Everyone knew Terrell Pryor was looking to get paid, and you obliged him. And when Tressel got in hot water you went out and purchased another cheater. Barry Alvarez knew it at the time. You need to cheat to win, but so be it. You run an $EC program in the Big Ten. So yes, you own us as well as the rest of the league.


But the tide will turn. A Wisconsin used car salesman can pay kids to be the face of their franchise, legally. Your gig is coming to and end, so enjoy it while you can. As soon as F,I & L take effect, everyone will be able to play the game you have, but do it legally.
It's days like these that I remember with fondness players like Andy Katzenmoyer, the 5-star linebacker with a 6th grade education, who somehow, stayed in school at O$U. Of course, he succeeded by taking classes like How to play Linebacker 101. And this year, Chase Young got a "loan" from a family friend who just happened to become a friend of the family, his senior year in high school. There have always been money issues with players at O$U. More so than any other school in our league. But that is just a coincidence, isn't it!
So yes, I have come to realize that O$U is at another level compared to the rest of the league. You go out and get your "6 figure" players with regularity. Enjoy it while it lasts!
