Any title won with a pro player will never be acceptible to Volleyball fans. Much like U Dub beating Nebraska with a 30 year old Yugoslvian pro, that's not a legit win. Throw these players out, they don't belong on intercollegiate teams. Any coach who uses these pro's are cheaters!!

I think every scholarship player in the NCAA is a pro. Only Division III championships are legit! ;D

Please remind me which top 10 team USC has played? Perhaps, cyaa her in Poland pretty soon? please remind me how soon Stanford will get knocked out before the Final Four comes up....of course you can't even fill 50,000 fans in your new football stadium....in case you didn't notice, Washington won the national title last year....not Stanford or USC.... nice win at BYU earlier this year....oh wait a minute.... Please remind me again which top 10 team did USC beat so far? Cyaa in Poland pretty soon, Kac-zor!

Nope... did not say that nor will you ever hear me say that. The point was, which you obviously missed, was that it's wrong to single out just one school. Wrong to single out one school? What in the hell are you talking about? See if you can grasp this. I don't harbor some dislike for USC or Mick. Doesn't matter the school. Right now USC likes to flaut it. So any time I see an article like "Polish Power" I'm going to call shenanigans. If you don't like it...oh well. What I don't like is someone without enough sense to realize they are making an accusation, a very serious one, without offering a shred of evidence. You probably just heard someone say "she's a pro" and went with it because she is from Europe. If you do have evidence and feel so strongly about it then go forward with what you have to the NCAA. Until someone stands up and calls for investigations of these players then it will continue to happen and probably get much worse. You hear people b#@$ about it all the time on this, and similar, boards and has it changed? NO, because this is not the forum and never will be. When it's proven and the NCAA issues a ruling to deal with School X and Player X then you can say "I told you so" and state the facts. Don't just regurgitate what you heard someone else say. I think in cases like this it has to be by the other coaches within Div. I and why do you think they aren't? Because maybe, just maybe, they are recruiting, have recruited, or may recruit in the future a "pro" and don't want to corner themselves. Just a thought. I do think Gorf is absolutely on the money though with his description of how the NCAA views professional players in women's athletics. (I say women's athletics, because within the last 6-7 years there have been 2 men's volleyball titles stripped because of professional players, Hawaii and Lewis). They really don't care enough to go after them unless someone GIVES them the evidence. They aren't going to do much digging on their own. Sadly enough it's the reality we live in.
