OJ Simpson may have been the most polarizing figure in all of American sports, not just football. But morality doesn’t really matter in sports because fans are hypocrites when it comes to judging athletes, schools, teams, coaches etc.

They will curse the Houston Astros for cheating but celebrating The Patriots legacy. Curse Lance Armstrong and Barry Bonds for steroids but give David Ortiz a pass because he was a nice guy and not even care about steroids for sports like football and basketball. They were okay with Prince Shembo getting away with allegedly rapilng a girl leading to her suicide at Notre Dame but the second he was linked to animal abuse his career was over. They ran Vontaze Burfict out of the NFL but celebrate athletes such as Draymond Green and Aaron Donald.

So when it comes to OJ when you throw morality out of the window and you just focus on him as a player what do you get?

When it comes to his college football legacy he was the very first athlete to build a school and put them on the map. USC was the first elite cfb program a athlete built not a coach. You look at Alabama it was built by Bear Bryant. You look at Ohio State they were built by Woody Hayes. Florida State by Bobby Bowden. Nebraska by Bob Deveney.

USC by OJ. If it wasn’t for him UCLA might have been known as Southern Californias football school instead of its basketball school.

Reggie Bush went to USC because of OJ. Pete Carroll went there because of that tradition he built.

“The Juice” may not have been CFB’s greatest running back but he was its most significant.

For better or for worse we lost a piece of history today.

For a while now have been doing college searching. I mainly tried to look for school that will benefit me and have a great social life in general. I noticed that most schools that I like are B1G and SEC schools. I always wanted to ask the benefits and what a typical B1G school is like which is way I am here. Like I really enjoy making friends and might possibly go to parties if I am able to seen I am a black guy but I just have to ask what is the benefit of join B1G school so I can understand it more.

just subscribed today to btn+ so i could watch nebraska baseball. in the second inning at northwestern there was a play at the plate while the camera showed outfielders milling around nowhere near the play, then no replay. in the third inning the score was wrong for much of the inning and the base runners graphic was usually wrong. am i the only subscriber? do they have to share my $10/mo amongst the two announcers, the two camera men, and a live graphics tech? it appears there is no director. the announcers were pretty good so it is slightly better than a radio broadcast with a static web cam showing the field.

If nothing else ( media marketing aside) to keep up with Sec recruiting in the years ahead, b1g needs florida recruiting pipeline. California is the only top 3 recruiting state currently setup for b1g. Meanwhile SEC has stronghold of Texas and Florida. While the OhioSt's of the works can recruit nationally, the rest of the b1g needs that FL pipeline. Fsu and Miami provide this access
