My Prophecy Re: Oregon Football
The corruption at my university, sadly, appears to run into the murky depths.
I'm talking about the football program. In a post last season I reminded everybody that Nike University's program would one day crash to earth, the victim of a self-destructive scandal.
The day has arrived.
Given the current state of corruption in college sports (mainly football and basketball) my prophecy was a no-brainer, of course.
I just didn't think it would happen so soon after the program's back-to-back PAC-10 titles.
I don't see Chip Kelly surviving this. It looks incredibly dumb. I love college football and I wish it would (could) change, but it won't. Not with the billions involved.
I can tell you this much--college coaches in big-time football and basketball are drastically over-paid. That in itself leads to corruption.
The players? Let's face it; they're used and abused by the present system.
I'm laughing through my heartbreak.
