'Bounties' for Injuries

[frank uible]

One remedy (among others) toward setting an appropriate tone would be the NFL's imposition on the Saints of a forfeiture by the Saints of all games played by them during the term of the "bounty" conspiracy. Fat chance - for obvious commercial reasons!

Remember why President Teddy Roosevelt "nudged" the NCAA into creation?

The offense at the time was the flying wedge and players were dying because of it.

I believe it also had something to do with Yale's dominance at the time. They had a much more physical style and had been dominating Harvard at the time. Some have gone on record questioning the altruism of Teddy's motives given he was a Crimson grad and the rule changes definitely worked in favor of his alma. But this is politics, surely something so underhanded would never take place

WOW,
For a second there, I thought I was reading the politics board.
