Fran Fraschilla says Paul Biancardi is doing the right things.
Biancardi, the former Wright State basketball coach who parted ways with WSU in March 2006 after being found guilty of NCAA rules violations during his time as an assistant coach at Ohio State, has secured a job in the business with a branch of ESPN.com. He's also making himself visible.

Biancardi timeline

April 7, 1997: Ohio State hires Jim O'Brien as men's basketball coach to replace Randy Ayers. Paul Biancardi, who was an assistant coach under O'Brien at Boston College, joins him in Columbus.
May 3, 1998: Slobodan "Boban" Savovic begins his official visit to OSU. Later, a litany of accusations arose involving Savovic and Biancardi, including improper financial and academic help. Savovic played four years at Ohio State, from 1998-2002.

That punishment, of course, dates back to the Ohio State sanctions and Biancardi's involvement with former Buckeye Boban Savovic.

Majerus, by the way, has had an eye for doing this for months. Here is the story Tom Archdeacon of the Dayton Daily news wrote (which is very good):
