Message: [QUOTE="alibrat66, post: 214394, member: 197"] [SIZE=4][FONT=arial]Unfortunately, in big time college sports--as in politics--perception is reality. Doesn't matter if this latest row was simply people trying to give a kid another chance--not a good strategy with certain issues--Syracuse runs the risk of being painted with a big brush. It's not the details, a case of guilt or innocence, nor even the logic that most people--some even who should know better--remember. Perception, many times born of lies or gossip--and sometimes reality--stains one's reputation, like it or not.[/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=4][FONT=arial]And that something or some behavior is widespread isn't much of a defense when those in power have the knives out.[/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
