What's this?

If you are looking for honesty, commitment and the moral high ground……

In college football, you are going to be seriously disappointed. Recruits flip, recruits take improper benefits, coaches break contracts, coaches lie to recruits, sex scandals, cheating scandals, Wakeyleaks, cheating boosters, drunk and obnoxious fans and pretty much everything is about the root of all evil, money. Virginia Tech is not an untarnished beacon. It would be nice if money weren’t involved and it was all about the love of the game, team and alma mater. That hasn’t been the case in college football for decades if it was in fact ever the reality of the sport.
