Penn State Cult (Joe Knew)

The Defense: During the investigation, Michigan and its defenders argued that other programs also shared or gathered sign data improperly. However, governing bodies and the NCAA maintain that "everyone else does it" is not a valid defense against breaking explicit rules regarding advanced scouting networks

The irony of high powered, very expensive, lawyers trying the defense that our mothers slapped out of our heads when we were less than 10 years old will never cease to amaze me.

The Supreme Court of Mom Justice issued a ruling on this one long ago. They probably got it from the Old Testament. "...and the Lord said 'I giveth a fuck what everyone else is doing. Thou dwellest under mine roof, thou shall adhere to My rule and thou knewest the rules' then there was a sound of thunder, and there was darkness...."

That ruling was swift, unambiguous and some would say, severe. So much so in fact that, as an adult, if I even so much as think "everyone else does it" my body reflexively flinches and I duck my head. I can still hear her rebuttal and I can still feel that old familiar feeling of knowing I shouldn't have said something the second it left my mouth.

Penn State Cult (Joe Knew)

Assuming that's a serious post from a Penn State fan, I think this is the very heart of the problem. This is why we call you a fucking cult.
See, your identity is tied directly to that university. Your successes are theirs and theirs are yours. And that's why the Sandusky shit hurt you so much. There's an issue where a former assistant coach was using university facilities to molest kids. And that hurts you because you're so tied to that university. So, instead of being rational about it, you argue whether it happened... whether it COULD HAVE happened. And you convinced yourselves and each other that the rest of the world was out to get you.
And now, when some other shit happens at your university, you point fingers at everyone else, saying that everyone does it.
I didn't go to a Big Ten school, or even a school with a Div1 football team. But if some staff member ever gets found guilty for raping kids, I'd support putting him in prison forever. If the school was caught covering up for him, I'd want more people thrown in prison. And if a fraternity gets caught with a huge drug-dealing scheme, I wouldn't point at everyone else saying that it's just common practice.
Perception is reality - you THINK people are going to judge you based on what school you went to, and then people start judging you based on what school you went to.

Just sayin': The precedence is already established; the NCAA didn't buy when scUM tried to use it for their sign stealing violations.... :lol:

Gee......I wonder which program has the assholes. The only thing that would make them worse would be if they had the arrogance to act like they're above the rest of the CFB world and would never do anything untoward.

Oh wait

Sounds like both are assholes but Michigan is a special retarded asshole. Ok to be an asshole, just don't go full retard asshole.

Sock out!
