4.16

No, this is not a bible verse. In fact, it represents cheating, lack of morality, underhandedness and no ethics. It is actually a number significant to UGAg, as pointed out in this article. Since 1978, 4.16 is the average number of years it takes for the UGAg athletic department to be found guilty of a MAJOR NCAA violation. I will reiterate - we are not talking about calling a recruit in the dead period. We are talking fraud, cheating.... you get the point.

We are talking a systematic problem here, not a problem with a few kids. As for the kids:

The kids have the right to feel cheated. But that's what happens when you get in bed with cheaters.

On the "honorable" Vince Dooley:
What do you expect from a place that has Vince Dooley as its athletic director? Dooley's bio proudly notes that when he was football coach, he led the Bulldogs to a national title in 1980. It doesn't mention his program was found guilty of major infractions in 1978, 1982 and 1985.

Three times a cheater. And this is the boss.
The SEC has been found guilty of MAJOR infractions 15 times since 1990. The Big10 has 13 since that time, so they can't even keep up.

Finally, a stern warning to any student-athlete considering going to UGAg:
The only thing we can take from this latest debacle is a warning to prospective Georgia student-athletes out there. Georgia is a fine school, with terrific academics and a beautiful campus. But take a long look at the film of those teary-eyed Bulldogs whose season ended unexpectedly Monday.

If you sign with Georgia, you better hope it's not your team that's cheating and then pray your 4.0 years don't overlap with the 4.16. And whatever you do, don't redshirt. Go ahead and play in Athens, or anywhere in the SEC, but do so at your own risk.

When you hang out with cheaters there is a good chance you are going to get cheated.
Well said!!!
