...if this stuff is true. During the O'Leary era we almost never lost a player of value to academics, but lost a lot of marginal kids. No doubt this is a business, a good football coach needs his best players to get the job done. I would imagine when GO'L was winning he could "get things" done around campus. Chan doesn't have the same clout or even the same will to get those things done. It appears that the academic folks used the coaching change to get the upper hand. It all this is true of course.
