Lifter -

Yes, Bo and Woody were friends till the end of Woody's life.  If you recall, Bo was the eulogist at Woody's funeral.

And, yes again, you can hope for next year, but I think the Bucks are on another roll - great players now, and of course, with Urban Meyer, a great leader.  Only the Nazi Collegiate Athletic Assoc. is preventing us from being in the national championship game again this year.

Somehow, the NFL and NCAA have to get together on this issue of discipline and enforcement of the rules.  The way it works now, only the innocent kids who stay behind suffer, while the ones who violated the rules skate off to millions in the NFL.  It isn't fair to the programs, or to the kids who suffer now for the sins of their predecessors.

Forget OSU for the moment and look at Penn State.  Kids were allowed to flee the problems and transfer to other schools without the normal one year sit out period.  Some did that.  But the kids who remained loyal to their program, did absolutely nothing wrong, and are trying to be a part of the rebuilding process are the only ones who are now suffering.

If the NFL and NCAA could come up with a joint program to fine the wrongdoers once they get into the pros, say for the first year or two of their pro careers, you'd likely see a whole new approach and effect of the college rules.
