What's the max amount of "probation" from the NCAA you are willing to accept for a football national championship?
- Thread starter dawgstudent
- Start date
Yes. Then we would go out a winner forever and I could focus more on hunting and fishing.
Yep. For as long as I've been waiting / hoping for one.
Whatever the max probation is, I would take it and run with it.
Can’t wait for Goat to chime in “it’s impossible for us to win a championship. You see back in 1878 when Mississippi State University was founded in Starkville instead of Meridian…”
Followed by 85Bears “does anything matter now that Leach is dead?”

Edit to add: I'd buy 100 Natty Champs t shirts and wear them daily until every one disintegrated.
I'm more concerned with Elf on a Shelf watching over me than the modern day NCAA. Give me all the probation if we can have a football title
Think I'll sit this one out. The last time I did it, I promised to never bitchandmoan about anything Mississippi Sports related ever again if we actually won the NC in baseball. I didn't think any consequence would make me regret it even a little. We saw where that got us, I couldn't even enjoy it for one damn year. I'm 100% certain the football gods will do the same thing the baseball gods did, except with more wrath and destruction because we haven't 'earned' it in football. Who knows what treachery, disappointment, and punishment they could come up with.
We asked that same question once about baseball. Then me and probably70% of the board got pissed off not making post season for two seasons. It is easy to say but not so easy to take.
Next time an 8 figure donation is considered by a filthy rich alum, here is the pitch:
"Have you considered donating that to the "Mississippi State [Insert rich alum's last name here] Football Team"?

Death penalty.
Then we can raze the stadium and put in something more worthwhile...like pickleball courts or a target

What can we get for actual time served already?
I'm pretty sure bracky has already had us on this for quite a while.The obvious answer is
I would take anything the NCAA dishes out because honestly, they no longer have any teeth. My question is what would I accept unethically for me to still cheer for State?
We already tried that for baseball and it obviously wasn’t true
Death penalty for USM after we win it.
I’m answering like a blue blood should**

But would you give back that NC if it meant our season ended with a loss in Omaha each of the last 3 seasons? Hell naw
I’m 44 next week. I’ve got like 40 years left on this mortal plane, best case scenario.
I would gladly spend every single one of those as a fan of a team on probation in return for a national championship in football.

Is there really such a thing as cheating and probation anymore??
