On The MAC: Say It Ain’t So, Sammy…

erhaps. Since former Toledo assistant coach James Stafford says “Villegas He still came into the gym and practised his shot. He just couldn’t make shots.”, I’m going to cut Sammy some slack until there is a plea or trial.

But still. Coming on the heels of a major FBI investigation into Toledo’s football squad shaving points, the Villegas thing is just more evidence that the Toledo athletics program is a major fucking embarrassment. The MAC should strip both Toledo basketball and football of scholarships for a lack of institutional control and ban each team from post-season play for at least one year.

Toledo ain’t Las Vegas or Reno. There’s no excuse for this kind of shit to be going at a MAC school.
