Just about in every instance, if someone is posting about collusion on a conference message board, it's either intended as a joke or the coach didn't know any better.

Yes, Admin jumped all over colluders once last year. There were some really long, nasty threads about it. Teams who threw the CT final to increase recruiting $$$ and such. And some guys who got regular season games "investigated" because it looked like they threw them and such.

Coach 1: Cool, I didnt scout ohio.

Coach 2: np. So when are you going to hook me up with your sister?

Coach 1: Not cool, man. Not cool.

i believe according to seble, recruiting intentions etc put in the conf board where everyone can see them cannot be colluding. its a tough issue though, and i totally disagree. i think his theory is that if anyone can see it, its a level playing field, but the information obviously benefits some more than others - particularly, those who will actually read it, and those who are close, both of which primarily are the guys in conference.

My point is, maybe you should just let me win.Coach No.1 againWell done, xxxxx. I was a little disheartened when I saw you didn't let me win, but I'll just chalk it up to you not seeing the message.Coach No.2GG xxxxx. You're correct I didn't see the message. If I had of course I would've let you win. Just remember that next time we face each other in the CT. ----------It's called collusion and only slightly less objectionable because both teams were already in the NT and didn't cause another deserving team to miss the tourney, but this shouldn't be a part of WIS.

Clearly a joke, like a team would really consider sacrificing an undefeated season (yes I know where this came from)

Isn't the real question whether Petec treats the ladies with respect or whether he doesn't

Probably a joke, but probably didn't need to be posted either. I could definitely see how someone could take that the wrong way......

that question is not up for debate. Petec always treats the ladies with respect.

Good points billy and i do agree, now if this was serious, then yes I do have a huge issue with it - but i find it hard to believe it was.

You have a huge issue with everything. You do understand there is life outside of HD?

Does the fact that one coach is coaching 2 big 6 d1 schools in the same world under different ids bother anyone? (I'm sure its not only one instance, but for arguments sake...)

TBH, I personally don't have a problem with that, nbstowman. Mainly because I see the alternative of WIS attempting to police it worse than the issue itself.
