Collateral damage. It is a strange world we live in now. Better watch what you say lest you be judged if public opinion ever changes.

Makes one wonder how far they'll go to get the message across ...

Seeing as Miles' improprieties trace all the way back to his head coaching days at Oklahoma State.

Does anyone from those hiring staff's feel the pan heating under them?

If not, what about those who let it happen there? Where are they currently employed?

What sort of misconduct can be trailed to other universities where these admins & coaching personnel have rotated to?

And how many of them found themselves in NCAA regulations positions, or board seats?

Since we all know that's usually where these types eventually end up.

Or Washington
Or Michigan

But California is finally telling their leadership, they're on notice.

Miles settles for far less than his contract calls for to leave, Jeff Long is shown the exit door and now the university President resigns. :roll: :roll: :roll:

Sorry to rehash, but what was Les Miles accused of at LSU??
They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.
