We’ve had our fair share of cheating scandals and the like. I think we generally try to do better than those schools, but there are others (like Clemson) who are winning both in the classroom and on the field as well as we are.

I shouldn't have to explain the difference

between a school where cheating by athletes is detected and punished vs. a school where cheating is completely unnecessary.

If you want to hold athletic dept leaders like Kelly and/or Swarbrick accountable for whatever culture led to some players and a student trainer to cheat under their watch, that's certainly fair. But if we're talking about the academic standards that the school/faculty has for its athletes, I view these crimes & punishments as an affirmation of those standards, not an indictment.
