Petrino left Louisville in a shambles the last time he left, I would expect noting less.  The AD complained about the problems he left, then re-hired him once Strong left for Texas.  So much for academic integrity at Louisville.

The truth is simple, if the rules are not enforced, cheating will become the norm.  The NCAA is directly to blame to the same degree that each coach, administration, player, parent and booster is to blame.  The NCAA has no one to blame for failing to uphold its rules.  Nor do any of the universities that "agree" to play by NCAA rules.

Sadly, they only cheat the kids and their families in the long run.  The kids never learn self discipline, money management, earn their degree (or "earn" a worthless degree).  The parents miss out on making their kids become great adults and contributors to society.  Yes, there are a few exception that realize their opportunities and make the most of them, but most kids never realize that only a few people make the NFL and the average NFL "career" is three years, not very good odds on making a living over the next 50+ years of a kids life.
