I would gladly take two coaching scandals if they produced 2 National titles and 10+ wins most every season for two decades.

I wouldn't but I'm not a win at all costs kind of guy. Granted, Ohio State is not on par with what happened recently with Baylor and Penn State but I think it's telling that folks are willing to have scandal if it results in success. See Louisville.

Until the NCAA's bubble bursts... their is no reason to play fair. Nobody really gets punished, and after a couple years it is all basically forgotten about. People don't care about the Joe Pa/Sandusky stuff anymore. Last season was all about the rebirth of Penn State and Barkley.

I'm not going to derail the thread intended for Bearcats preseason camp but I would challenge you to say that no one cares about what happened at Penn State or Baylor when not sitting behind a keyboard. Yes, those universities wanted to move forward and get past the damage done but the cost was high for many including those university administrations, faculty, students, alumni, the victims and their families. But back to the main point, if you condone or don't care if our program or any program cheats because "everybody else does it" then I'll just have to agree to disagree.
