TTUN and their fans are the heel of CFB. Everybody will hate them, and they will sit there in the future with their dumb ass selves wondering why?

This just seems like projection. I just don't see many American sports fans giving two shits if a school cheated in football years ago. For one thing, there aren't a lot of people who can think critically enough that they see a difference between stealing signs during a game and spending days and weeks analyzing game film to steal a team's signs.

Possibly somewhat, but their fan base has been absolutely ridiculous through the whole thing, it is impossible to not notice.

Ironically, some national media people are now taking shots at their program after the so called punishment, and I have a feeling that there will be more negativity towards them now that the NCAA thing is over.

This day and age things move like that, and click bait moves trends.

They have a weird sense of being similar elite better than everyone else public schools and are sort of scUM wannabes.

Exactly, and they have this insecure demand that everyone acknowledge it. The legendary Texas ego (both university and state) is really fueled by insecurity. New Yorkers or Californians (or Berkeley ot tsun people if you will) don't give a damn about what you think of them, but Texans need that people acknowledge and agree with their grandiose self-image. It's almost as if deep down they know it's bullshit and need your affirmation to tell them it's real.

What this has really driven home for me is that college football is a big business now, and exchanging money is how businesses settle disputes. For example, PG&E pleaded guilty to 84 counts of involuntary manslaughter for deaths caused by the 2018 Camp Fire, and was fined four million dollars. I’m sure there were also some wrongful death civil settlements, but nobody went to jail. That’s how the business world operates, and expecting anything else only leads to disappointment. College football doesn’t care about sportsmanship, history, honor, student athletics, or any of the other stuff we care about. It’s just an entertainment product we can choose to watch or not. To borrow a quote from General Patton, college football grew up. Hell of a shame.
