Just because others do it doesn't make it alright or correct.

I'm no OSU fan, but I stand by my original assertion. If the "rules" are so out of whack with the reality of the situation, assume that every major football school in D1 (except possibly ND, BYU and Stanford) is jumping off that bridge because the situation is wrong... not the bridge jumpers.

From the coach's perspective, if you're not jumping off the bridge, the other 10 or 11 schools in your conference are. And alumni and fans only care about the wins- you start getting behind everyone else b/c you're playing by the NCAA's farcical rules, the bottom line will get you ousted.

People only care about the method to success when they get caught. The lesson? Don't get caught.
