Josh Portis Shares His Widsom
Oct 25th 2007eCollege Football
There’s only one thing to do when you lose your college football eligibility for cheating on a pop quiz—go talk to 5th graders about it. Maryland quarterback Josh Portis is currently touring elementary schools across the state, warning kids about the difficulties of college life.
“I was just telling the kids you have to work hard every day in the classroom,” he said. “Life is going to be challenging. Unfortunately I made a mistake. Try not to make the same mistake I made.”
Portis went on to tell the kids that his specific mistake was cheating off the person next to him, and that if they’re ever unprepared for a pop quiz the right thing to do is fake an illness or cheat off multiple people in the room. The most important thing to remember, he told them, is that if you get caught it’s not possible to get out of being suspended by bribing Ralph Friedgen with donuts. He always has a cabinet full of them.

He should team up with Bill Belichick to stress the importance of eschewing cheating. After all, if there’s anyone who knows about its intricate nuancies and getting burned for this seditious practice, it’s A-Hole Homeless Hoodie Man. Screw the Pats (that’s a surprising take from me, isn’t it?)

it’s a good idea, although I think belichick only cares about people who aren’t remorseful about their cheating
