Again we are getting carried away. Coach Osborne is one of the best human beings I have ever met. I hold him in high regard, not for his wins or losses, but his character. But again as stated all people make mistakes. I do not want to see this turn into a bash certain coaches. I am really tired of the bashing of Coach Tressel. I know Coach Osborne, I do not know Coach Tressel. But I realize because of the time we are currently living in, things get to the media far easier and faster than in the past. Some of it seems hpyed frenzy. I hope that Coach Tressel did what he did to protect his players and not his win loss record. I believe Coach Osborne did what he did to protect his player, nothing more.

But thinking anyone is above reproach is silly. Not a single coach out there has not done something the NCAA would be interested in, just like each and everyone of us, has done something we are not terribly proud of and would cause discomfort if it came out. And of those things we would do all we could to keep that information from coming out, just as Coach Tressel did.

Wrong no question, but not to the level some seem to think it is. I live in glass house and dress in the basement.

 
For the record, since Junior is not coming back for a while, Robert Benford is a sociology professor who taught at UNL in the 90s. He has long been known for VERY much enjoying his perch atop his ivory tower, and for despising all things athletic and/or non-academic in the education realm.

He got his PhD at the University of Texas.
