I'm sure there are fans out there that would disagree but he does make a good point.
“I’m an old guy from U.K. of the 1940′s and WW2. The old quote “it’s not the winning or losing, it’s how you play the game ” no longer prevails. The pleasure of watching these young fellas compete is rewarding. These days it’s all about the almighty dollar from the Athletic Director, the coaching staff and the players after they have proven themselves.
“When the ’48..’49 UK team went pro and formed the Indianapolis Stars, the players got caught with the point shaving scandal. It destroyed their careers and dissolved the team.
“Whether we win the National Title or not is not going to change the course of human events one iota. Just enjoy the sport and the atmosphere that surrounds the game and let these kids do their thing. Our whole society has gone nuts and the fans have become radicals. It’s crazy ….. while the coaches make their fortunes.”
