Check out some of the later-stage posts on the PSU scandal from our football board right before the Bernie story broke. People were bringing up all sorts of past sins they said were committed by PSU. I bet you could find a few people who said it showed all PSU and State College were rotten to the core (I believe the word "cultists" was used once or twice).

SU is going to be held to the same standard. If the Bernie story is true, add up everything that has gone on with the bball program for the last 20 years (reported and not reported) and you could make a case that this is, if not quite a renegade program, one that needs better monitoring. I think that would require a change at the top since this is clearly a one-man operation.

The emotional side of me also likes that JB went all-in but the rational side notes his statements were diametrically opposite of the tact demonstrated by Nancy. I don't think JB believes he is bigger than the university. That would be an exaggeration. But, I also believes he doesn't really care what anyone thinks anymore, inside SU or out. And that's always dangerous. JoePa thought the same way. Feinstein wrote a good column for the WaPo 10 days ago about how JB, JoePa and K were the last of the old-style dynasty coaches. Good read then and in retrospect.

All that said, I still believe Bernie is innocent.
