Jason Whitlock on a cleaner Ohio State program..."That's like a lighter Jason Whitlock."

To pull this into a NCAA convo for a moment...

Honestly, I don't see this as a university issue at the heart of it all. Sure we see top programs fall guilty regularly, but in a chicken/egg-ish debate, I think the issue is that people who are willing to give out these benefits mostly do it for the top programs, and the top athletes of these programs. This in no way makes the athletes any less guilty, but even an alum of a shoddy directional state school just doesn't care to pimp out the football stars as much as a fan (notice I didn't even say alum) of a big time university whose program is very successful. Ultimately it does all fall on the athlete, but the tat parlor owner in the town of Northeastern Ohio Bumfucks obv just doesn't care to give any favors to their QB, but the tat parlor owner in Columbus gets an ego boost from giving favors to top athletes at OSU.

Simple point is that the OSUs and USCs of the world aren't really any worse than any other collegiate athletics program, but the amount of tempters far outweighs the amount for a lesser program.

Tressel, Carrol, and others are very guilty of trying to shove this shit under the rug, so don't get me wrong there.

... JUST SAYIN!
