I am curious? Seems strange that they choose to do a report at the exact same time that a large a group of Pitt players had trouble with the law, and then would cease doing any such report since then.
Has SI done a criminal report since 2011 where they dinged Pitt?
- Thread starter HailtoPitt
- Start date
That was in house leak.

So I'm guessing you believe the fix was in, Ron Cook and the in house Nitters at the PG conspired with SI to screw Pitt? LOL!
This was a report SI did for all programs, right? Why not do it periodically instead of just once?
Actually just the preseason Top 25
Which meant if they released it four months later with the final Top 25 for the season, Pitt wouldn’t have been on the list
Closest thing I’ve seen is that Outside the Lines report that I’ve linked a few times here
No, you actually think it was done to purposely diss Pitt don't you? LOL? Like as if anyone cares about Pitt.
Yes, a very supportive move done by someone in the Cathedral. Only at Pitt!!!!
You didn't answer the question, was it purposely done to specifically target Pitt?
I don't know. I wanted to see where Pitt ranked compared to other schools more recently, and couldn't find an updated survey. I figured this was something done every year. It's not.
We have a thread that says 5-7 is better than 7-5. You might be in the minority.
The Fulmer Cup tracks those stats.
The Fulmer Cup is a parody award that tracks the criminal achievements of various college football programs during the offseason and declares a "winner". It is open to all Division 1 football programs (FBS & FCS), and points are awarded based on the level of crime. The Fulmer Cup season started the minute the national title game is finished and ended the minute of the the first Saturday game of FBS Week 1.

Just noticed this great section of the Fulmer Cup:
The Coach Mike Haywood "Leading by Example" Award
Given to the coach or administrator who earns the most points and/or gets fired in the most embarrassing fashion. This award does not have to be awarded annually and is completely up to the Committee (also, after leaving the profession in 2010, Mike Haywood is back in coaching at FCS Texas Southern and does qualify for his own award).
Although he was not charged with any crime, Hugh Freeze wins this year for the exceptionally embarrassing way he managed to get fired. Frankly, he probably had some potential charges that were overlooked by the possible authorities involved.
However, if we're strictly going with people who've been charged, the easy choice would be the Baylor strength coach who was actually arrested on a prostitution charge.

It wasn't the report it was wimpy ass Pederson's response. He could have demanded Wannstedt make changes. And most of us were way more interested in the assistant coaches rising in quality - which would have meant more salary - and Pederson would have had to man up and tell the old ladies on the BOT to butt out. But he was incredibly craven and sorry. Blame Pederson for the sucession of 6-7 seasons (Chryst did manage to beat Bowling Green in the Detroit bowl)
That SI article was as ridiculous as some of our fans on here who wanted Sheard kicked off the team for getting into a fight that he didn’t even start.
No, I am sure one of the many PSU grads could have done it. one in every 117 degreed adults in the usa have a PSU degree, not that hard to believe that one such would be working at SI, and obviously have a grudge against Pitt
I can think of at least one:
