re: Quick rundown of OM football allegations

They're borderline campaigning on that being the case.
The pleading nature of parts of the letter indicate as such.
I would bet a large percentage of NCAA punishments are meted out to new staffs.
It stinks for the coaches, players, and fans; but that's the nature of things.

"All but one of the 16 Level I violations arose from intentional misconduct committed by rogue former employees or boosters outside the University's direct control acting in contravention of rules education provided to them by the University," the report said. "Although a post-season ban may be imposed in a Level I -- Mitigated case, the University believes a ban is unnecessary here based upon applicable precedent and because the most serious allegations occurred years ago, involving staff and student-athletes long-since separated from the University."
