The joke is that it is legal. Would Evan who Schumacher coaches be able to run for Wisconsin right now? No the NCAA would not allow it, so why allow Rupp to wear a Ducks jersey.
Rupp is a very great runner but never should have been allowed to wear a Duck jersey.
Wrong.
The Rupp family, Oregon and Vin have made sure that everything was done both within NCAA rules; and paid for by the Rupp's.
The real joke is that the NCAA makes money off of the sport, off of all these athletes, and then prohibits them from making money...like say in being sponsored or taking prize money in the summers, with the threat of losing their college "amateurism."
Every single college athlete is a Pro athlete.
Only the NCAA is stealing their earnings.
Why?
It is the only way they can continue to make billions off of football and basket ball.
If football players at the NCAA level were allowed to get paid in relation to their worth -- rather than in scholarships -- where let's face it, the university isn't paying for these scholarships, the cost is passed onto the rest of the students...
The real joke is the NCAA.
Other than that, what the Rupp family did was follow the every dictate of the NCAA. Even paid money to charity, the whole deal.
And let's not forget, Rupp actually had to do all that training for all those years and over come allergy and thyroid problems in order to have a decent college career.
You idiots that are so easy to hate, never factor in all the facts.
So what, Portland, and Alberto discovered a local runner, and nurtured him, and he actually turned out to be good. If it was more than just a fluke of finding a genetic lottery winner, Alberto would have produced a few more Galen's before now, and one or two since.
Too many of you light wits are just jealous.
