I put it this way. Ohio State is always accused of being the football factory, so we bend over backwards not to be one, and there's plenty of evidence: firing Woody, giving Cooper that ridiculously long leash, turning Tressel in when it would have been the easiest thing in the world to bury, Robie & Hyde's suspensions, running Urban off. When I returned to Columbus for a few years in the early 00s, I dated a professor. She and her friends would readily admit that while many of the football players weren't up to snuff academically, they were never given special treatment, and the AD was extremely vigilant about any academic fraud occurring.
Contrast that with tsun. They are both utterly self-obsessed and convinced of their purity. They don't feel any need to "try to not be a football factory" because in the core of their being they couldn't possibly conceive of ever being one and thus coaches in all four major sports have felt the freedom to be the worst hockey, baseball, basketball and football factories they could be. One of their former players actually wrote a book about how rotten the program was under Schembechler.
