I want my coach pushing right to the edge of every rule, criticism be damned

Pat Fitzgerald has a problem with it... while trying to convince the NCAA that Kyle Prater is a hardship case and should not have to sit out a year for his transfer. Urban Meyer has a problem with it... after poaching four players from Penn State's 2012 class after the Sandusky allegations came out. Bret Bielema has a problem with it, and has even complained in the past about Urban Meyer bring "SEC recruiting" to the Big Ten by chasing Wisconsin's committed players last year, and then said today that he has no problem recruiting committed players "if they're interested in Wisconsin".

Isn't it fun to draw lines? To place thresholds? I'm OK in this instance, but not in that instance. This is OK, that's too far. I was against that last year, but I kinda need to do it this year. We all want to win, so we all adjust our stomach for blurry lines just enough to keep our food down.
