Greedy Bastards! (Aren't you jealous)

"Greed not so good for Trojans"
By Dan Wetzel, Yahoo! Sports:

"Greed generally is good when it comes to recruiting. If you can sign every great player in the country – or at least the majority of them in talent-rich California – then why wouldn’t you?
Carroll has come close to doing just that. And in the bizarro world of the BCS, it’s killing him.
Not on the field, where his latest powerhouse team is 7-1 and just outscored its last five opponents 214-20.
In the BCS standings though, SC’s recruiting dominance has left its conference in shambles, one strength-of-schedule-sinking opponent after the next. Saturday’s 56-0 destruction of Washington somehow caused the Trojans to drop from No. 5 to No. 7.
“The more we win, the worse we get,” Carroll joked to reporters Sunday.
The more Carroll recruits, the worse everyone gets. These Pac-10 opponents are lousy for a reason. Half their starters are sitting on the Trojans’ bench.
While greed at times can be a fine thing for the greedy, it also can produce unintended negative consequences. For Carroll it’s this: he has run the nation’s best program for a while but has just one BCS title to show for it.
The reason is the system’s computers hate him. They may like Karl Marx, though, or at least a good old-fashioned mercy rule.
If each February Carroll would sign what he needs, not what he wants, maybe the rest of his league could play a lick. Forget “Fight On!” Let’s try, “Share.”"
