and i'm only partly kidding.

what i've come to realize is that i need to revise my statements. i do believe there are two programs in the big ten--michigan and penn state--that remain committed to winning big with a level of integrity that escapes the uscs, auburns, alabamas, and ohio states of the world. it's an outdated and unrealistic worldview, but it's true.

richrod didn't do 1 percent of the stuff tressel apparently gets away with.

ohio state spends almost double the money on its football program than penn state does.

outside of those two schools and northwestern, however, i have no reason to think that schools like iowa and michigan state possess any special integrity. i probably haven't passed judgement on the incidents at those two schools enough because i'm secure enough with what penn state does and, well, ignoring it can make the problem go away.
