Donovan and other college coaches can control the style of play on the court, but off the court the slime lurks, making friends with players' friends to get an introduction, picking up a dinner tab, dropping a few dollars here and there. Now, Ellis is left wondering if this season as defending SEC champs is about to be torn up like the stuffed tiger that was unfortunate enough to end up in the Florida student section. He doesn't know if he'll get Porter back or if the talented senior has played his last game in burnt orange and navy blue. It really bothers me. It bothers everyone who enjoys college sports.
Problem is, it refuses to go away.
