Liberal values on display. Bribe and cheat your way to the desired outcome.

I guess they aren't as different from conservatives after all.

BTW, how's the Russia Investigation going? LULZ

Hopefully between this and the Nike scandal, things will pipe down when it comes to cheating and rules breaking for college athletics.

Speaking of rules and changes, I wouldn't know where to start. Compensation of course, but that would be a mostpost length post. About fifty paragraphs worth of what's fair and not. Then you get to what I think is most important, qualifications of the student athlete. Before Mack Brown, Texas had a hard time getting marginal students in and our on field performance suffered a great bit. No doubt part of his agreement to leave UNC to come to UT, that changed.

Since that time, I cringe at some of the interviews our players give. Embarrassing.

Fix that part of it (qualifiers) and we are on the right track

Every student who benefited from this should be made to wear a MAGA hat 23/7 for the next 6 years.

ohhhh.... such a big deal

and well it should be, but where are the indictments on Hillary and the other clowns pretending to be the servants of the American people in Washington ?

college admissions should not have 2 sets of criteria the guy at the podium says sanctimoniously.....what about application of the laws obviously broken by the Washington fatcats ?

I don't see this as a liberal/conservative issue. It is more a rich/poor issue which is really what is dividing this country.

Don't you know posting facts around is....well...scary.....

Although to be perfectly honest...would be willing to bet that those charged will be 75% + liberal....in this scenerio...

Conservatives tend to discipline their kids better and make them work harder to EARN stuff...although....again...there's always an example of that not being true...such as OUR current potus...

Conservative upper 1%'s ...just more likely to cheat in other ways....
