Come on, I think we have ALL played a betting pool at least once in our lives. There was no way any of the participants could affect the out come of any of the games which is why there is a ban on betting in the first place. But betting pools is way different than like what Pete Rose did, betting on his own team. Neuheisel is a football coach not a B.Ball coach with a team in the 64 team tournament. Now if Lorenzo Romar would have been, oh, wait, he first would have to get his team into the tournament in order to bet on his team...
J.H. is a scum bag and I expect he will cheat to gain any edge that he can and this is just the start. I mean, how can Hairball even look in the mirror at himself when he knows he got "run" out of the NFL by Pete Carroll. What's the deal Jim???
As I recall, Neuheisel's betting pool wasn't your usual office pool where everybody throws in $20 or so. They were betting thousands. Sure, it wasn't the same as Pete Rose betting on games his team was playing in, but Neuheisel was nevertheless an insider at the NCAA with access to information that the normal Joe Blow does not. It was unethical.
I agree with mykc. Harbaugh is bit of a terd, but he's not a cheat. I also wouldn't characterize his departure from the NFL as having got "run out" by Pete or anyone else. He had several opportunities to catch on with another team had he wanted to. IMO the Niners were fools to get rid of him. He had the best record of any head coach they've had since Walsh.
