One possible such circumstance would be that your coaches cannot jaywalk without having it be the lead story on Sportcenter and portrayed as a symptom of a university that lacks institutional control. (Exaggerating for effect, hopefully you get the point - there is such a thing as bad publicity). I suspect that we've become such a win-at-all costs culture that prospective students would rather go to a school with an outlaw winning program than a losing program that plays by all the rules - everything else being equal. So there may be no level of bad publicity that will sway SU from wanting to maintain winning athletic programs. [/QUOTE]
