Now that it was upon him, Collins said he didn't need Pearl's ultimate comeuppance for his personal vindication. He was no longer bothered.
"People know a little more about him," he said. "And that taste is pretty sweet."

| Wow. I'll have to read more later, but this is definitely interesting. I'm anxious to see how Hat rates its accuracy. |

| Nothing in there that hasn't been known for years. Still the same he said/he said crap.
Pearl was dirty for taping a kid, Collins was dirtier for paying a kid to play for him.
The cumulative nature of everything CBP did both at Iowa and at Tennessee will never amount to the violation Collins made at Illinois.

| I think it is interesting that Slive was involved as counsel for U of I to counter the allegations of BP. Isn't it also true that UT system President Joe DiPietro has multiple degrees from U of I? |
