I'm a Hurricanes fan, so I'm all too familiar with shady business. To me, it seems like if a team is that dominant for a decent period of time (ie Hurricanes, Patriots, Jimmie Johnson NASCAR) or a team rises from obscurity to be really good (ie SMU/UNLV basketball, Baylor football), there's usually some shady **** going on. To be competitive at the top levels, every is toeing the line to get the upper hand. It's just a matter of how close to the line or how far over the line they are willing to go.
