touching on several threads, does, & @ what point does Keenum call for Slive to step down ?
In reading everything, I think we did what the SEC dictates a member institution do in this situation, we turned over our evidence to the SEC & washed our hands of it. All of this crap about this could turn out bad for MSU is just that, crap! If our AD followed the letter of the law, then we can have no fault......& as someone said below, the credible media outlets are not smearing us.
As far as us continuing to recruit Newton, I think we did the right thing, why would we not continue to recruit him ? If we said that we want you to play for MSU, but you will receive nothing beyond the invite & the education & playing time, there was no reason for us to stop recruiting him. You never know, he could have had a change of heart on the whole situation. What would we have said as fans at the time if we found out we had stopped recruiting him ?
Back to Slive & the SEC.....My reason for bringing this up is that the SEC has enjoyed alot of good publicity for the past few years, & now the SEC publicity will be that a member institution followed the letter of their conferences law, & the commissioner of the conference choose to sit on it & not act on it. This action, or lack of action, seems to be contradictory to what Slive wanted to accomplish on compliance w/in the SEC.
So @ what point does Keenum call for Slive to step aside ? Or does he not call for Slive to step aside ? Does he instead publicly admonish Slives' lack of action when a member institution followed the letter of the law ?
disclaimer: yes I have sour grapes over Slive. I think he treats us as the red headed step child & I was thoroughly disgusted by his lack of interest when Varnado broke the long standing NCAA shot blocking record. All of that, & I choose to believe that we followed the letter of the SEC law on this situation.
