Yeah, the narrative seems to be pretty random - and the media dictates it so you just deal with it.  Look at Tressel, everyone on ESPN seemed to want to paint him as a victim (or at least some super-stand up guy that made a mistake) - but he's had problems with the NCAA everywhere.  It's a similar situation to Meyer.
 
I don't really care about tattoos tbh (i would imagine free tattoos and weed are two of the biggest violations by student athletes at this level that nobody cares about), but it's just funny how the picture gets painted.  John Wooden is the standard by which all others are judged and he was the biggest cheater of them all.  He had a decade of players bought and paid for by boosters - but Ben Howland is out of control.  :(
 
At the end of the day I expect kids to be kids -  get in fights, get bad grades, do drugs, and all the while hopefully they're maturing.  It's freaking college -  happens.   I imagine there is a point where you need to cut ties, and hopefully you have the right people in place to judge when that should go down.
