Summary

Utah's entry into the Pac-12 couldn't come at a better time.

It can't be too far out of good form to smile a tinge over the misadventure of Ohio State and tattoo gate, USC's Reggie Bush tribulation and Nike U's adversity over alleged cheating with recruits.

Sometimes just winning isn't enough.

Kelly is a liable guy. I'd like to believe he was just duped or taken advantage of by Lyles. I'll place all the "allegedly" copouts in front of reports of the allegations that are needed to give him the benefit of the doubt. I hope he survives because he's a great guy and has a dynamic program.

But this is smelling a lot like Ohio State and Tressel, Part II.

If Kelly cheated, he should be held responsible. If he attempted to cover it up to his employee or the NCAA, he should be gone.

"All of this contributes to a vicious cycle making it seem like there are a lot more fans of the other team, which is overblown."

Not only does it SEEM like there are a lot more BYU fans, it's a More..
