[Husker] Oklahoma forfeits 2005 football season; NU went 9-3?

I have to disagree with Bob. If there was any indication that any 
employee from OU knew about it/set it up/condoned it then the 
punishments are appropriate. The employees, acting on behalf of the U 
are agents of the school and OU is responsible for their actions. Talk 
to any former Aurthur Andersen employee. 

That being said, from what I have seen, there has been no indication 
that anyone from OU knew about this. It would be similar to blaming BC 
for Purify getting arrested. It is not the coaches fault. He needs to 
handle the punishment and the whole team is punished if this player is 
not available. But it cannot reasonably be blamed on BC.

>     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.
