Actions speak louder than words. It doesn't matter if Sumlin always made it a point of saying "education is very important" in team meetings. He knew the things that were going on in the program and he didn't take action. It's kind of like allowing a one half suspension of a star QB against a patsy. You can always deflect the ridicule from the outside by saying "there is no way to trace the cash that Johnny got for his autographs," but everyone knows it was only said to have an excuse for keeping an ineligible player on the team.

Agree with that comparison minus the first half suspension for Manziel. That was done by the NCAA and A&M, Sumlin had little to no input on that punishment. And I don't see a reason for any coach to suspend a player beyond what the NCAA deems reasonable.
