Best advice for big football schools I've read.
4. Once a week bring all of the football players into a big room and tell them the following: "Yes, the rules are stupid and the system is not fair. I got that. But until the rules are changed you have an important decision to make. You can't take free stuff or swap something we gave you for stuff. If you take stuff and somebody finds out -- and somebody will find out -- you will miss games and be profoundly embarrassed. If you take stuff and lie about it then you're done.
"It's your choice. If you want to keep playing in front of 100,000 fans and getting the kind of coaching that can only help your draft stock, then don't get that free tattoo. But if you love that free tattoo more than life itself, we wish you the best as you finish your career before 632 fans at East Montana State Teachers College.

The gloves, brothers and sisters, have come off. The NCAA is beefing up the enforcement staff and, after getting beat up for a couple of years, those enforcement people are going to quit playing defense and go on offense.
