It is clear now that the most powerful leaders at my university
perverted that cause, and if it takes a temporary shutdown or
de-emphasis of the program to right that wrong, those of us whose
primary concern is the integrity of this university we held dear will
accept that. Anyone who doesn't — and anyone who is more concerned with
the lasting legacy of a football coach than that of the institution
itself — is just furthering the lie. The Grand Experiment is a failure,
and the entire laboratory is contaminated, and there is no choice but to
go back and start all over again.
