completely agree. Sure, there was a murder, paying players, doing CYA in regards to a murder investigation, that's not good but they drew a line at recording someone. Not surprising Boeheim as he's never been that high character of a guy but for K to not see it, despicable characteristics and further proof how coaches look out for each other more than players.

And there are still a bunch morons who hold Mike K in such high regard.

And yet somehow Scott Drew brought Baylor to a title in 2021. Almost makes it more impressive

You have baylor and then 2hours north you have smu and their scandals 20 years prior and you wouldn't be out of line to start looking at tcu and wondering if there will be a scandal there soon

the whole states a shitth0le

Not cursed. I lived there for 12 years but your typical city. Where people use religion and assumptions to let things slide rather than face reality that the system is not perfect. ​@@jeckpeul708

I think it's Texas in general. People honestly beleive that gun rights allow ls them the right to protect themselves against the gov, but history proves over and over again that guns gives the government leverage to take away your right...Waco, Ruby ridge........ The can't buy the kind s t u p I d that the American people are.

Now you got the football fans lookin at Dave Aranda with the side eye lmao

And Baylors rape scandal Neither Baylor or Penn State should have ever played football again

@@totallynotalpharius2283 This. End of discussion.

Yeah the video literally says that

@@user-oi5rf6ni2g Hey man, why don't you chill out?

That’s not college towns tho. The hood a block or two away

Same can be said about LSU and USC and I'm sure a lot of others

@@mikevismyelementyup

​@@mikevismyelement Columbia University is technically in Harlem & UChicago is on the South side

In 1992, several of Bliss' player were failing classes and still playing.

Thats the worst part of it all tbh. At least if they had success theres SOMETHING that validates the suffering, even as hollow as that may be.

????

No it's not. That gives guys a way out when they make mistakes. NIL promotes no accountability imo

​@@andrewroberts4071 Apologies for the long response. This is based on my own college experience and witnessing the progression of friends throughout their's as well, at all levels. More importantly, its based on decades of watching college coaches and institutions behave with impunity, leaving athletes hanging in the wind, and doing so without any qualms or consequences. The TLDR is coaches and institutions have been dictators for the entirety of the existence of college sports, and accountability has been unidirectional. Many coaches have been able to behave like tyrants and/or petty children, because they have the power to end an athlete's career at the drop of a hat. They no longer have that power, and are actually being exposed to market forces, and they don't like it. NIL levels the playing field in a way that coaches and administrations don't like. The entire NCAA ecosystem rested on its laurels and absolutely reveled in unidirectional accountability for...basically the entirety of its existence. Good coaches with good team culture and an actually productive, positive mindset won't be hurt by these much. Two-faced coaches who are great on the recruiting trail but are tyrants within their program are having to pay a price now. I would agree this wasn't great if I hadn't been surrounded by and witnesses so many tens if not hundreds of self-serving college level coaches happily institution hop, ruin and or kneecap athletic careers for very petty and or team-level political reasons. Coaches are used to being dictators, and have enjoyed that power for a long time. This also means that many have become accustomed to unreal behavioral standards and practices, the sh*t they could do was really unbelievable, but they had the power to END a young person's dream with the flip of a switch, so athletes generally just had to take it on the chin and deal with it. There was no recourse. If the NCAA were full of good actors and respectable coaches who act morally and really invest in their athletes in a meaningful way...undeniably enriching their lives just for being able to be on the field...this wouldn't be a problem. But that dynamic either disappeared decades ago, or never really existed. Schools and coaches have become lazily accustomed to a mobility double standard, and have enjoyed being able to put a stake in the ground and saying athletes can't move, basically upon pain of their career. All the while, coaching staffs and administrations are free to change things, go back on promises, and institution hop at will, the historic ruleset demanded that athletes must have proverbial concrete shoes for....no reason really....just to uphold the lie that "they are students first...." The stark reality for coaches and schools is that this shines a very bright light on the culture and the overall value that every single team and program brings to its athletes. Market forces make monopolistic actors very unhappy. This also highlights precisely how much money athletes really have been bringing into schools for a long long time. It's about mindset, institutions don't like that they now have to actually maintain and uphold a level of attractiveness THROUGHOUT an athletes eligibility and time on campus. Coaches don't like that they actually have to perform and be nice people, and not get things their way all the time. If there were an independent, unbiased, non-profit seeking arbiter of such situations, this MIGHT not be a problem, but there isn't one. Athletes have had zero freedom, advocacy or recourse for the entirety of college athletics prior to the portal and NIL. This has injected freedom of movement into a system that used to function on indentured servitude, and yeah, it's changing things. But in the process, it is massively enriching the lives of tens of thousands of families, taking money which used to just get funneled into facilities and college coffers, and actually putting it into the hands of the athlete. Is it jarring? Yes. Does it change a power dynamic? Totally. Is it an improvement from the old status quo? Undeniably. College is (in theory) about improving the lives and futures of young people. This injects a hefty dose of that back into colleges and universities.

A private university in Texas that wants to win at all costs, what could go wrong?

Not really. The place is an absolute shit hole. Visit there for 5 mins, and all this makes sense. It's the most miserable place in Texas.

​@@DanoFSmith-yc9tgwell, I don't wanna go if it's a shithole. Tell my why it's one, so I don't ever have to find out in person.

@@DanoFSmith-yc9tg It's not as bad as Odessa or Beaumont

Yes, playing on old historical black stereotypes to victimize teenagers

Bliss should be in jail, not coaching basketball

Exactly right, and this is the perfect example

Lmao and yet it wasn’t an evil white man who actually committed the murder, was it? I didn’t even need to google that to know what race the killer was 😂

Bliss left UNM in 1999 under strange conditions

And Ken Starr as university president those where good choices

They did hire a good Christian coach in Scott Drew to run the basketball program.

Said the same thing

People like Dave Bliss might be able to fool others around him, including Christians and those who profess to be Christians. But he hasn't fooled God. The Son of God had more than a few things to say about those who use the guise of religion to mask their evildoing: “Not every one who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you evildoers.'" (Matthew 7.21-23, RSV) And in the hearing of all the people he said to his disciples, “Beware of the scribes, who like to go about in long robes, and love salutations in the market places and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at feasts, who devour widows’ houses and for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.” (Luke 20.45-47, RSV) That's just a small sample size of what God thinks of hypocrites. He'll make sure that people like Dave Bliss get what's coming to them, whether in this world or in eternity to come, He has a special place in Hell prepared for them.

That’s a dumb take.

@@theTXSandman LOL! You're mad because you know it's too often true.

least obnoxious atheist

No, it says more about "men" whatever their persuasion. Women are not given nearly the same leeway, even the Marys.
