Is that we get lumped in with them, because of the APR fiasco. In the eyes of the media, and subsequently the public, our inability to achieve a passing score on a faulty metric that doesn't even measure what its name implies is equivalent to gross academic fraud on an institutional level, intentionally deceptive drug-testing, extra benefits to players, etc
It sucks to have Calhoun tagged with the same charge as Boeheim (and presumably soon Roy williams, too), "lack of institutional control," when the charges are not even remotely comparable. I'm not ignorant of the fact that shady practices go on at every school (even all the blue bloods have been dinged with multiple major infractions), but I think it's lazy to just lump them all in the same boat when it's convenient to make a point.
Just felt like rambling a bit after reading several articles on the state of the NCAA, and it's recent scandals, which included miami, penn state, auburn, unc, cuse, uconn, etc
edit: obviously uconn/calhoun's reputation is only the worst thing as a husky fan.
