Sure looks like he knew a lot more than I realized

And it went on for decades. Makes you wonder if all his generosity might have been part of guilt process.

It weighed on him, there’s, no doubt. It literally killed him. But, it was his own doing. You don’t cover or turn a blind eye to that.

I remember the day he was fired, I told my best friend he'd be dead within a year without football and with this blight on his name. Didn't know it'd be less than 3 mos.

He knew for a long time but was more concerned with the greatness of his cult football program and his own ego. He thought if he didn't talk about it, no one would believe it and it would just go away.

I won't even start on the rest of the cult's part in covering this up.

I know we got our coach from the resurrected team but that football program should have been ashes.

Uh, he knew literally everything. And that has been common knowledge for years now....and was well publicized in the news.
