    Off topic still....

    I know there have always been mutterings about EMU cheating here and there but realistically the entire NCAA has a problem (actually they have a few...) if they can't catch a guy going to school for 8 years and competing.

    I could be wrong, but for medical redshirts and such which would push out another season, it has to be approved by an NCAA committee.

    Maybe they did cheat and maybe they didn't, I don't think they would do something TOO obvious all the time. If you want running to be in the spotlight more then you can argue that it is like the college football and basketball stars that drive around new cars before graduating and say they just took out a loan....

    Anyways, the runner thing does make me kind of want to watch survivor, even if it is scripted in parts...

    Here's hoping he throws down on Alexis Jones or Mary Sartain! Either would do.

    I have no beef with EMU. I think they have a great program and have produced many great athletes. But I have heard from many people that they violate a lot of NCAA violations and laugh about it.

    One that I heard is they have the maximum amount of people they are allowed to have attend one practice and they send another group with a grad assistant. They pound them in to the ground and of the 30 kids they send, if two of them develop, they put them on the roster. Now, I am no expert but I believe that is an NCAA violation since it was being supervised by a coach. I also hear about other students doing some of the guys work. I know for a fact that Boaz had a hard tiem academically and didn't get into Butler for that reason.

    Normally, I wouldn't say anything because I don't care. I just get sick of hearing people challenge someone to name the violations that EMU has violated. Once again, I don't know if these are true but I have heard from reliable sources (people who ran for EMU) that this is what goes on.

    Sounds like "my two cents" comments struck a nerve. I have heard some of the same things. Slightly different versions but essentially the same thing. No one has come on to argue over the accusations. Maybe we're on to something here...

    Does the NCAA have squad limits now? EMU has 29 guys on their roster. I can't imagine having 60 guys wanting to run for one school.

    I always knew they were cheaters. Maybe they should be stripped of some of those tainted championships. Or we can just put a * by them.

    Can we be here to argue that you're a douche bag? The fact is that this thread was started because of a EMU runner making the survivor cast, but you had to come out of left field and be that guy who completely deters the whole entire thread into something completely irrelevant to its original purpose. Nice catch on the 'you're and your' mistake, no one has ever made that error before.
