Anyway, in fairness this SHOULD have serious and widening repercussions: I expect a whole lot of
"It isn't FAIR!!! The players just followed the orders and guidance of their trusted Coaches--who themselves just relied on the open and presumed accuracy of the companies producing the products, AND the federal RULES that are supposed to guide them!"
...Yes, WE felt the same way, said the same things at the time when it happened to US. Guess what: "Irrelevant."
It fell on deaf ears, far as the NCAA was concerned. If they approach this "fairly" and in the same way, more punishments, these to the whole Clemson program, may be in the offing. The fact that this happened on the very team that subsequently went on to win the next National Championship shouldn't have any bearing on how it is adjucated--but it might. This will be "interesting" to see played out.
