How does Mich St still have an athletic program?
Yeah, I know the title is extreme. But this school, coaches & its athletic department seems to have thrown all morality out the window for the sake of winning.

Michigan State's 1952 MNC team was nicknamed "the Best Team Money Could Buy." The term slush fund was invented as a nickname for the money that was used to make regular payments to members of that team.
It's been going on a while at Michigan State. |

Not defending MSU here, but this would be a very long thread if people started pointing out every incident at every school. The importance we (as a society) place on athletics and entertainment and our ability to overlook truly awful individuals for the sake of said product is really alarming.
It is actually one of the reasons I really love OOTP. In whatever fictional world I create none of the players beat their spouses or partners, have them murdered, get caught up in illegal drug scandals, are pedohiles, overdose, cover up decades of human exploitation to feed their team etc. etc. It is really becoming the one place I can go to escape all of that horrible and just enjoy the game I love. |
