He's taking a lot of heat in it from the media, but I think he's right in general. College kids aren't professional athletes, they don't get any money to do what they do, a lot of them won't ever go pro yet some people subject them to the same scrutiny as pro players just because a lot of people watch the game. It's a lot different to delve into the life of someone making millions of dollars than some kid/young man trying to get educated who also plays sports.

Damn you for posting this before me. I caught it on 790 the Ticket earlier today. Great rant, and I don't know if I could have done that without dropping an F-bomb somewhere in there.

Then don't televise their games. Don't allow fans in the stands.

They're icons and entertainers whether they're paid or not. It is NO different than someone making millions of dollars. You should know just as well as anyone else that college football has the largest fan base in the country.

Whilst I think they're fair game I respect his stance. Everyone needs to chill the fuck out. Enjoy the NCAA for what it is... pure awesome.

This is still my favorite rant, at a presser no less. (it's clean but loud)

If you don't think college football players at big schools don't get paid in some fashion... well I'd say you are deluded.

Oh nice one. That's a top 10 but I dunno about my favorite.

Can anyone really beat Mora for the number 1 spot? Nobody can do diddly poo compared to Mora. Maybe a close second is the Bear's are what we thought they were! Herman Edwards has a few memorable blowups that are quotable as well.
