You guys are getting played, and the NCAA is laughing at you guys all the way to the bank.
The only problem with that is that since the AFCA started tracking ARP rates amongst D1 schools, Temple under Al Golden made the biggest single turnaround in the stat's history.

But yeah, we're gonna cheat with him to get to win. That's all we do. I thought you'd be smarter than to jog out the Thug U reference, but oh well.

Shannon's not the martyr because Miami and it's fans don't care about graduating players, he's gone because he couldn't win. And if Gary Williams sucked it up just bad enough to get canned, I don't think you'd be trotting out the "Maryland gets what it deserves for firing a guy who graduates players" card. You'd be celebrating his career and gasping if anyone dared question Maryland's administration's reasons for canning him. You're a homer. It is what it is.
