I agree. Winning is great but not at the cost of institutional and personal values. If one of the most prominent members of the university was a known abuser when you hired him, that sort of thing reverberates through the entire community. It's a massive breach of trust: We'll get your sons and daughters ready to take on the world but if one of their leaders happens to smack them around and use racial slurs against them, that's unfortunate but hey, he's getting us to the Big Dance! Hard pass.

But you know someone will roll the dice. I could see Liberty, if their current coach parlays his recent success into a P5 job.
