Connie Clark resigns

Are you insinuating there is money being exchanged with select organizations to funnel talent? If so please post some proof that it is a rampant problem because I've never seen it.

Absolutely not! Viper's accusations are much like the people who maintain that Barry Switzer cheated at OU, but never offered up any proof.



By the way, I'm working on a lease agreement to get rent from the Brooklyn Bridge. I can't sell you the bridge, but will sell you the land it sits on.

I guarantee this was CDC’s doing. I suspect he’s evaluating Plonsky as well.

Don't you F'ing DARE tease me like that!

If not then what does compliance have to do with coaches working with clubs or select organizations? I know of zero rules making it illegal to do.

Just a theory, but when Clark started, clubs were not really that big. Maybe she just never adapted to working with those organizations as the numbers grew. I would be shocked if UT told her not to work with them.

Personal experience - has to do with club team coaches funneling talent to schools who take care of them either by holding back scholarship money for the coach's players or outright cash payments to the coach. Why play club sports of not to get a scholarship? The money spent on the player from the third grade through high school would go a long way to paying for college.

Compliance has everything to say about who can be contacted and by whom.

I think we've had this conversation before, but yes organizations have relationships with schools...big deal. If you think any college will take an inferior player over a better player because they like a select coach either you are wrong or that college coach will be fired soon for losing. I have not experienced nor heard of money exchanging hands and if you have proof please provide a link. I'm sure it has happened, but I would say 99% of the commitments are straight up where the kid wants to go.

Again, there are zero rules prohibiting colleges from working with select organizations other than when they can talk.

Yes we have had this conversation before, and yes this is a free country. However what you described is what has happened at Texas. If you do not play nice with the agents in the form of club coaches - you cannot be successful. One of these days the Feds will step in just as they have done in basketball.

Anyone think Mike White at Oregon would bite?
