The 99% vs the 1% in college football it has to STOP!

  • Recruiting you look at the top10-15 recruiting classes each and every year. And its the same ole schools, we all know the names the big SEC schools, the Florida schools, West coast school. and the schools with the traditions and all of that.

    And the little guy doesnt stand half a chance in recruiting 99% of the time. The best school doesnt alway win. If 18,17 yea rold were should great decision makers, Drinking age would be 17, and people could run for president and 19. Its rough out here in this world 99% vs 1% just like the every day man or woman working hard 2, 3 jobs to the bone.

    And the rich paying in taxes less in % wise than their sectaries and all that jazz. This whole country is moving to this, eat or be eating SUPER GREEDY , capitalism Greed market. And its moving to college sports too. the ncaa is a joke, college presidents dont want a playoff, the Ncaa is run by the college president. yet the ncaa joke is to police the colleges! What type of a joke is that?

    You have some States like in Michigan where coward Governor taken away the rights of unions. Even Republicans like the good ones in Indiana and saying that's not right.

    To me its almost a miracle that we have teams like Bosie State and TCU, Oregon Even VA tech in a way

    that each and every year they keep winning, even when the game is against them, and even more amazing why teams like florida state, and UCLA And Notre Dame dont win more, when its pretty much set up for them to make it too BSC games each year.

    Alot of this recruits todays age are just followers, sheep hate to say it but its true, but going from Indiana to LSu to ND? come on.
    Kids from the north going to the south to play football, 70% of the kids will ride the bench for 3 years. alot of them will not make it to the NFL, because they didnt get that chance to play. Less playing time in the south, Sec, Florida schools. But its hard to get that through to 17, 18years old, when in their home town its 25 degrees in jan, and their taken Jan 20 trips to U of Florida , Were it will be65 degree and sunny with hot chick everywhere. sheep been sheep.

    But its the culture, every man or woman for himself, Wall street going nuts, taken trillions from government and paying 0% interest on the money, and the 99% average man or woman would have to pay 8-10 % on a loan. and Wonder why even Republicans dont like Mr Wall Street Mitt Romney. I know am all over the place , but its connect some how you know.

    this whole greed is good movement of the 80,s and 90,s turned America into 99% vs the 1%. made people super greedy.

    Money is not bad, its the love of money thats bad.

    Recruiting is only half the battle. You need quality coaches who can bring the most out of the recruits AND keep them motivated.

    And short of a CFB draft, I don't see how you could balance the recruiting thing. There's a 0% chance of that happening, because then you're forcing kids to get an education at a place that may not be best for them.

    Best way to even things out? Hire a great coach, start winning, and pull in recruits that way.

    Michigan State does not and will not run the 3-4 defense.

  • I agree. Schools should be allotted a max of two 5 star commitments, 15 4 stars, 10 3 stars and unlimited scrubs per recruiting season. Once the big schools fill up, it will force these moronic idiots who stupidly decide they want to go to a big time CFB program to go to lesser tier schools.

    The same should be done for aceademic scholly's. I mean why does Harvard, Stanford, Yale, etc. get all the smart ones? We should force a couple geniuses to attend the Western Michigan's and Pitt Community College's of the world.

    It's only fair IMO.

    ofcourse you dont care , your part of the college football 1% your an Alabama fan. Pretty sure if you were a Boise state fan ,you would be on my side.

    NCAA, the college Presidents need to even the playing field.

    The more Money you have the greater a coach you can hire!! no?????

    its all about money, how can you say its even or fair, When school A has 100 million $ to spend on a coach, football team etc,

    and team B, has 12 million. And we call it a Fair system. Thats why baseball is so messed up, only 6 teams have a chance to win every year, and the NBA is starting to get their too. Greed is good, the big market teams run the NBA. You have cliques of players that can pretty much tell their owner/Teams to trade me to team A, B, C or else i will leave in 2 years and you get nothing. Greed its now part of American culture, greed and selfishness.

    Dude i know your been a smart azz, but its not even that . The presidents dont care about fairness or even rights. or nothing they only care about $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

    as long as their pockets are fat , their happy. Who was happy with that national title game????????

    if they had a playoff of the top 8 teams in the bcs rankings,maybe i can see that been fair,but how is that fair to Okio state, or Oregon who looked great, or Bosie state, yes they lost one game, but so did Alabama, So what makes bama so special that its ok for them to lose to lsu, and still make it to the title game, and Bosie state gets no chance.

    this is what makes the NFL great, You have a playoff. The saints lost, packers lost.
    Their no super computers or coaches ranking okie state #20 , but bama coaches ranking his team #1, so that can help his team get a higher bcs ranking, How is that fair again??????????

    no my english is not the best, but this Whole country is going down in flames. unless we can set things back in order. and bring back fairness for the little guy.

    How is 15 out of 120 or so Div I schools = 99% vs 1%

    15/120 = 12.5%

    should it be the 12.5% vs the 87.5%?

    Am not even going to give you a real reply, you know what am talking have the have nots, vs the haves. the haves are way smaller in number than the have not,yet the haves have all the power.

    you know the saying Unc or bama has an ncaa violation, and some small smalls gets harded for it.
