    Hondo, I wish to amend my earlier remarks. It's not that nobody cares, although I sure don't. Rather, what makes stories like this tedious is that they are evergreens. This crap has been going on since about one hour after the end of the 1869 Princeton-Rutgers game, and it will be going on long after we're all gone. Back in the '40s, the guys got convertibles, now they get Escalades. Same difference.

    What is the background on the web site that story is on. I've never heard of it.

    Is there a story behind the (bad) name for the site? Not even sure how to pronounce it.

    Click on the About Us tab and it says it was named after somebody's dog.

    If you want to be safe, stick with BYU's title in 1984. :D

    It's an anagram for Oops, Tigor.

    I'll agree with the notion that everybody cheats, but I do not agree that every school is dropping six figures to buy players. I would be very surprised if that's happened anywhere outside of the SEC. The Reggie Bush situation at USC was different in that he was already there and the money was coming from an agent, not that that makes any of it OK...

    He most certainly was.

    So both teams were cheating. Auburn cheated better.

    Not that long ago, Bobby Lowder nearly took down the school, when its accreditation was threatened over its football shenanigans.
