Despite the repeated admonitions of the coaching staff to players that they should not accept money from boosters, and despite the provided examples of what happens to violators of NCAA rules, some kids are going to succumb to temptation--or greed--and take gifts or money from a misguided booster who wants to "help" a poor kid or who wants to feel close to a storied program. The entire university or the entire athletic program shouldn't be trashed because of the misdeeds of a couple of stupid kids.

Andy Geiger has seen his fine reputation as an athletic director sullied by these repeated, baseless accusations of institutional corruption. The only corruption here is that of a couple of players and boosters who chose to violate the rules, and then when caught, sought to blame others for their own mistakes.
