its easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission
I am hoping you meant this in a facetious manner, based upon the thread it is in, as an indictment of the general lack of integrity in all these things. If not I really don't mean anything toward you personally.
It is only easer for someone with no empathy or scruples to ask for forgiveness than permission. People with character, pay a deep price when asking for forgiveness. It is tied up with honor and loyalty.
Me to girl at bar:
"Do you want to get out of here?"
"No"
(20 min later)
"Come on, let's go grab a drink at my place."
"NO!"
(20 min later)
"How about that night cap?"
"Okay!"
...If the NCAA ruled the world....
Perfect analogy.
This is an excellent article and a great read. Speaking of great reads, anyone who hasn't read Slaughterhouse 5, should!
The thing that really bothers me:
Davonte Neal, who I am not thrilled with, transfers to be closer to his daughter - he loses a year of eligibility;
Jamoris Saughter asks for an extra year of eligibility because of horrific injury, but because a past admin didn't do the paperwork right - he loses a year of eligibility;
Everett Golson, who I am not thrilled with, does something that may not even make his record at another university - he loses a year of eligibility;
Eddie, wants to be near his grandma maybe, - (OF COURSE) he does not lose a year of eligibility;
Hell just to continue it on to his logical conclusion, Manti played through his grandma's death, and because of other unrelated issues that transpired, was made the sacrificial cow of the football nation. Fvck the NCAA; Fvck the college fan base; Fvck the media; and all I can say is those with integrity and character will win in the long run. I hope I am around to celebrate the @sshats getting curb-stomped!
