I am not for cheating but playing an ineligible player is dishonest but it is not cheating. The best team still won.  USC still won the National Championship and Reggie Bush still won the Heisman. Taking away wins or trophies will never erase what took place.

 

It is cheating.  He contributed greatly, when he shouldn't have been playing at all. That is cheating.

 

If you want to be the best you beat the best and dont make excuses.  If they took steroids or had some other competitive advantage then they are cheating.  Stealing signs like Patriots: Cheating. Taking Steroids: cheating. Getting beat by the best players: competition. Played highschool basketball in Pinellas County and kids would use different relatives address to change highschools. No one said anything. They did not live there but they still played and stacked the teams. We got beat but hey thats life and it makes you get better Never going to cry about teams having better players.

 

 

In my mind, it's still cheating.  There are a lot of kids that could help teams be better, but they can't qualify for college at all.

Cheating is cheating whether it's steroids, stealing plays or illegal players ... and yeah, that is life, too. Just don't make it into something it's not. It is cheating.

 

 

Say what ?!?!?

 

EVERYONE knows it ain't really cheating til you get caught.

He's ineligible until he isn't?

Do I have another trainee?
