(By the way, doesn't this photo already say, "I'm proud to be the FCO FotW!")
Your accomplishment, defending Kelvin "Rollover Minutes" Sampson by claiming that "It isn't like he's paying kids." Ah, what an insightful and coherent commentary that is obviously based on thoughtful consideration and objectivity. Well said. This coming from a lawyer. I don't think he's ever mentioned that on air before, but he's a lawyer in case you've never heard him say that about himself on the air. He's a lawyer.
Yes, you are right regarding Mr. Sampson, he hasn't (that we know of) paid kids off. All that he's done is cheat at two different schools and make 577 over the limit phone calls to recruits. Let's take a close look at that number, 577. Perhaps the sheer absurdity of it will be revealed if we spell it out: five hundred and seventy seven. Yep, that's a lot. But this is far better than "paying kids." Breaking a rule FIVE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY SEVEN times is excusable because there is no money involved. Hmmmm. Who ultimately suffers when coaches cheat? Coaches? Nope. Case in point, "No Roaming Fee" Sampson got $750,000 to sit on his keister for the rest of the year. What do the players get? Hmmm. A free upgrade to an iPhone? Nope. They end up getting screwed because they are the ones that have to deal with probation. Matter of fact. Some kids three years down the line will probably end up having to deal with the NCAA sanctions while K. Samp is coaching at some bottom tier Sun Belt school making six-figures and having gotten SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND dollars to leave a job where he cheated.
So, here's to you Erik Kuselias, because its not like he's paying kids.
