How about that son of a friend that Teddy brought on as a preferred walk on quarterback. We ain't all that different.
You understand, if someone ACTUALLY played on the team, and if no one got paid for that person to get into Cal, then, that is actually TOTALLY, as in completely 100% different.
It's ealry, I was working late last night, but come on man.
Seriously people. We sometimes work so hard to find equivalency it's ridiculous. No, we do not have employees engaging in the same fraud as USC, yes we have tons of safeguards to prevent this stuff from happening and yes we are free to make fun of Stanford and USC without fear of hypocrisy. Please spare us the "glass houses" BS.
All the safeguards in the world will not prevent an unethical coach from going rogue (i.e, the Stanford sailing coach). Your comment smacks of hubris. Cal dodged a bullet on this one. Next time there is some kind of scandal? Who knows...
Let's wait on that. Full review going on. Fingers crossed.
????
1) Kid gets flagged as a preferred walk on or a recruit or something.
2) Athletic office first year grad worker bee goes over and asks.
"Hey coach, I am just doing post-recruitment compliance report 105-B. Last year you flagged Ms. Jones and Ms. Loughton as recruits. Could you point them out so I could ask them how things are going.
3) <Crickets>
4) "Coach - could you come by the AD's office in the morning."
Now I would aggree that it would be difficult to catch this other than "post-facto." But it is ludicrous to believe that "all the safeguards in the world" could not have caught it quickly it.
