Deadspin is probably the best reporting in sports, IMO.

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.

I've only gotten through Pearl's role, but wow. The part where he states that his motivation came from being an idealist, followed by the memo written with a comprehensive plan to rat out Illinois without losing the recruit is pretty damning to me.

He runs absolutely anything whether it's relevant or not. He's a huge Georgia homer and a douche. Deadspin is good stuff. Sportsbybrooks is an embarrassment. He tries to make everything a scandal.

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?
