Certainly none the coaches will acknowledge. They'll be all "Boy I sure was surprised, they seemed like nice kids. Right up until they plied a minor with substances it would be illegal for any of them to buy, and then raped her, I never heard about any disciplinary problems, disregard for authority, disrespect for women, or infatuation with gang culture and illegal activities. Miami only recruits the finest young men, the finest!"
I understand the impulse to be fair about it and not hang the young men or the program in the court of public opinion. But let's really be fair about it. Overlooking the warning signs for this junk is the long-standing culture of the game of
football, not just the university of Miami. Your different programs may have different levels of oversight for these players to keep them from getting out of line, but 'character' is not in the winning equation, and the winners know it. The hypocrisy from the football program that DCS is pointing out is just the thin excuse we all need to say "oh I don't want to deal with the reality that the sport I love, that bonds me and my community, routinely violates my own standards of common decency and causes me to idolize, from time to time, men that are not good men. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, drink some more beer, and get back to the idyllic world that fans of every team occupy each Saturday. I want that more than I really want men of character to comprise my team and conference, and I have an excuse, so Go Team!"
Events of a criminal and low-character nature perpetrated by football players
that occur like clockwork are just punctuation marks at the end of a sentence that keeps repeating faster and faster as more money pours in to the game. The sentence is: "We're all hypocrites."
That's just one hypocrite's tl;dr, bigcry opinion, anyways.
