Loyalty begets Loyalty

Lane Kiffin and the University of Tennessee are perfect for each other. If your a sports fan then in the last couple days you might have heard about a coach with a losing record bolting from University of Tennessee to accept the head coaching job at USC. all the talking heads are rambling crying bitching about how fucked up it is that he would leave after one year to accept a job at a better, smaller and private institution. Hmmm I have some thoughts, FUCK YOU TENNESSEE and FUCK YOU NCAA.

1. I cant find the article now well in fact im just not looking but if you can recall, the university of Tennessee last year ran out their long term coach because he couldn't beat Florida. Though Fullmer won a championship as the coach of Tennessee the year after Peyton Manning went pro with Tee Martin.

2. When signing the controversial Kiffin the school decided that since they spent millions of dollar on his contract it left a budget shortfall, so as every school should do who needs to 0 balance budget they had to cut back. This public university decided the place that needed cut backs was heating for their classrooms. Good call asshole administration, thats a focus on education.

3. NCAA makes Billions, yes billions off of athletes in the big sports of football and basketball. Don't believe this shit that they have a 4 year scholarship, or they are getting an education. Thats a bunch of bullshit, for one their is no such thing as a 4 year scholarships, all athletic scholarships are year to year and can be taken away for any reason. And if you saw the OTL report from ESPN, which is conspicuously missing from the ESPN website now. NCAA uses the likeness of their student/athletes to make private companies money, like EA sports.


4. NCAA has come down forever punishing athletes for taking money or breaking any of the mundane rules. But never punishes coaches, only educational institutions for coaches indiscretions. Why the hell should college coaches be the highest paid public employee in any state. Thats just dumb as shit, so fuck you NCAA you created this monster deal with it.

5. its a clear example that NCAA is set up much like the justice system, punishing the junkies while making tons of fucking money off of them. And if you don't get what I mean, just ask. Loyalty begets Loyalty, why the hell should coaches be loyal to disloyal institutions?
