So, Ped State wants the sanctions" rolled back" because of "good behavior"?
If this was a criminal, would his behavior warrant such a action?
Would his words tell you he's changed?
NCAA Appeal Board: Your files say you've served 1 year of a 4 year bowl ban. Do you feel you've been rehabilitated?
Pedster: Rehabilitated? Well, now let me see. You know, we don't have any idea what that means.
NCAA Appeal Board: Well, it means that you're ready to rejoin the NCAA with full participating rights...
Pedster: We know what
*you* think it means, sonny. To us it's just a made up word. A politician's word, so Emmert, Delaney and the other BIG presidents can wear a suit and a tie, and have a job. What do you really want to know? Are we sorry for what we did?
NCAA Appeal Board: Well, are you?
Pedster: There's not a day goes by we don't feel regret. Not because we're not going to a bowl, or because we have significant scholarship reductions. We look back on the way things were: a faithful, committed group dutifully following our Dear Old Leader upon whom the BOT pinned those terrible crimes without any FACTS OR EVIDENTS. We want to talk to him. We want to try and tell him to talk some sense into the BOT and tell him the way things are. Show him the way the BOT is actually attempting to govern his beloved university; but we can't. The Dear Old Leader is long gone and the culture he created, our culture, is all that's left. We got to live with that. Rehabilitated? It's just a bull[Mark May] word. So you go on and stamp your form, sonny, and stop wasting our time. Because to tell you the truth, we don't give a [Mark May] and long as *409 is reinstated.
