Quotes from the NCAA Infractions Committee's September 17, 2009 Rebuttal to Alabama's textbook rules violations appeal:
- Alabama is a "serial repeat offender".
- Alabama has an "abysmal infractions track record".
- Alabama is "an institution with an appalling and unprecedented infractions history".
- Alabama has an "extensive recent history of infractions cases unmatched by any other member institution in the NCAA".
What will be the end result if this were said about CU?
Winning cures all...
(See, Denver Broncos)
Change whatever you want off the field (better GPA, staying out of trouble, better life people) bottom line, if you want to erase it, win.
(Also see, Michigan)
It seems everyone forgot about the RichRod's allogations pre-season, with the winning start.
Winning cures all... Winning should be #1 priority.
I 100% disagree.
Competing for a national championship??? :smile2:
I understand 100% disagreement that "winning cures all". That's too much of a blanket declarative statement (obviously).
But do you really disagree with winning as the #1 priority for a CU coach?
I'm astonished by that, if that's what you believe.
Yes. Winning is NOT the #1 priority. That is not to say it isn't a high priority. But it is NOT the #1 priority.
Big difference in my mind between being the #1 priority and being a high priority.
The number #1 priority means to me that we would accept a coach who is willing to break the rules and look the other way all for the sake of winning.
That's ridiculous reasoning.
You're making "winning is the most important thing" synonymous with "winning is the only thing".
But I get your point. If Hawkins was winning, you wouldn't want that to be so important that he didn't get fired over his police blotter and APR issues with his teams here.
