Conference Call

10/7/10
One day after a conference call between Ohio State's Jim Tressel, Texas' Mack Brown, Alabama's Nick Saban, Oklahoma's Bob Stoops, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, the NFL Players Association, and a handful of athletic directors and agents addressing agent problems, Florida head-coach Urban Meyer summed up the main concerns. When asked about his opinion on the issue, he responded "You want to stop some kind of unethical, illegal activity? How do you do it? You punish them. The players get punished, and you want to stop the other side, too. It's almost like in recruiting: If there's no threat of a punishment, go have at it." This conference call came after several schools were investigated by the NCAA over the summer. When asked what he thought about the call, he had this to say: "I loved it," Meyer said. "I loved the fact that you have everybody involved and everybody wanting to do right. It was about as positive as you can get because everybody wants to do right. At the end of the day, obviously, there are people who don't want to do right. But the majority I would say want to do it right." These are the types of people who should push for changes within the system because the public will actually listen and respond to them.
