     That certainly can happen and does but why do ALL the players, coaches, students, and fans have to suffer for the actions of what is usually a very small percentage?  We have all seen cases where a coaching staff is cited and the whole team goes on probation AFTER the coaching staff is no longer even there.  I certainly would hate to think, for example, if my sister would do something illegal and the whole family would have to pay for it even though we had nothing to do with it.  Another example is when I was in grade school about 100 years ago and the teacher would say "if anyone talks out of turn everyone is staying in for recess".  I never could figure out why I would have to pay the price for what someone else did.  I don't necessarily know the answers but it does seem highly unfair at this point.  I am certainly in agreement that Oklahoma has had its share of infractions but I still raise the questions.
