Title: No easy answers after scandals Post by: 2Stater on June 02, 2012, 12:39:25 PM http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/7994467/history-shows-there-no-quick-fixes-last-year-scandals-college-football
Quote A little more than a decade ago, Alabama was also leveled by NCAA sanctions and placed on five years' probation in connection with the Albert Means scandal. The NCAA concluded that an Alabama booster, the late Logan Young, gave a Memphis high school coach $100,000 and two SUVs to steer Means to Alabama. According to NCAA officials, it's the closest they have come to shutting down a program since the SMU case. Alabama had been placed on probation in 1995 after Antonio Langham admitted to signing with a sports agent and then coming back to play his senior season. "They were absolutely staring down the barrel of a gun," Thomas Yeager, then chairman of the NCAA's committee on infractions, said at the time. "These violations are some of the worst, most serious that have ever occurred." And while Alabama stumbled through an assortment of football coaches over the next few years and was banned from the postseason in 2002 and 2003, the Crimson Tide finally got it right with the hiring of Nick Saban in 2007. And yet, the Ohio States, Miamis, and North Carolinas pale in comparison? BS!!! >:( And don't get me started about Scam Newton. :pullhair: Title: Re: No easy answers after scandals Post by: ricky023 on June 02, 2012, 02:40:32 PM Well it is to believe but when you are a fan of Alabama you know your hated. Yes, that is a serious word. When you come to play for Alabama you come with Class and the desire to Win Championships. You know as a player everybody in the World watches you hoping you'll do something to be the one to shutdown The Great Alabama. This is why CNS does such a perfect job of finding the right players with a family oriented mind to play for Alabama. They do it with Class, and Respect for the family when they come here to play. Right on, CNS. WE ARE ALABAMA! RTR!
