Is there a story behind the (bad) name for the site? Not even sure how to pronounce it.

Roopstigo is named in the spirit of Roops, a beloved golden retriever who was curious, mischievous and had a mind all his own. He loved sticks, but wouldn't fetch them. He liked jazz, but tuned out commands. He was a different kind of dog. What better ode to a pet than, well, to name a media company after him?

I'll agree with the notion that everybody cheats, but I do not agree that every school is dropping six figures to buy players. I would be very surprised if that's happened anywhere outside of the SEC. The Reggie Bush situation at USC was different in that he was already there and the money was coming from an agent, not that that makes any of it OK...

What's fun is when Mizzou bashes the SEC, it now counts as self-loathing.

McNeil pleads guilty, gets three years. So much for being a sympathetic figure.

By the way, how does a college educated person think this was a good outfit and hairdo for court?:

Well, Missouri clearly needs to learn how to cheat better, especially in football.

I've seen stories fall apart before, but never so rapidly as this one.

From the story:

McNeil, who wore a suit and had cut off his dreadlocks since his last court appearance on Friday, was taken into custody by Lee County sheriff's deputies at the end of the hearing, as his family watched from the gallery.

Harrison Mosely sounds like the Buddy Garrity of Auburn.

In fact, try and find an incident of any school punishing a player for synthetic marijuana before August 2011. The only ones I can find – at any point – are LSU’s Tyrann Mathieu, Tharold Simon and Spencer Ware being suspended for one game in October 2011 and a Kentucky high school quarterback being suspended in November 2011.
