In one case, a head coach lost his job—subject to appeal—after admitting he'd participated in college gambling pools, which is a violation of rules of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), and lied to university officials about his involvement. University sports don't need this—not after all that has happened in recent years, much of it relating to recruiting violations.
