I understand Domingo Ayala testified in a closed NCAA hearing, confirming that when it comes to baseball talent, "Ees God given."
This might have gone undetected indefinitely but for those players who point to the heavens whenever they get a hit, score a TD, etc. The NCAA took notice and now, who knows what will happen.
But the NCAA is, after all, the ultimate power in the universe, so ....
That is freaking hilarious!
Wow, that is a classic! Coach Kent Murphy is next on the stand!
Notre Dame has been cleared of any potential wrongdoing in this investigation.
It appears the focus is on Duke, Wake Forest and Arizona State.
Thank God, He left the D3 kids alone.
This is the funniest ever.
NCAA - Notorious (for) Confusing College Athletes
It's going to be an easy bust. Many athletes on tv have thanked God after games. The NCAA can go right to the video.

CLASSIC!!! Gotta love it!!
Wished He had included Whitman's Fighting Missionaries and Ohio Wesleyan's Bishops! (didn't mean to steal that one, Bishop Leftie's Dad!).
There's gotta be more, right?
I have to come clean. I admit to initiating contact seeking specific devine help for my HS team. On multiple occasions. Sometimes in broad daylight with with blatant disregard to anyone present.

Cabbage, If it's any consolation, there were several times I sought devine guidance for my son's HS and college teams (and no I'm not a coach - just a Dad.). You aren't the only one.

Uhhh, yes Jawaters1, and our replies are designed with an equal or greater degree of tongue in cheek.

Oh come on we are a little bit smarter than to believe that this was for real...well, most of us anyway!!!
I'm still confused. Is He being investigated or not?!?! He has a lot to answer for. Just ask Job.

REALLY? Damn! My buddy from SoCal who thinks that all 32 NFL teams are relocating to Los Angeles is in for a BIG disappointment!!
