The only scandal in this whole affair is that Duke canned the coach based on false accusations.

Nah. The team HAS been too rowdy over the last couple of years by all accounts. Yes, the members of the team are all independant adults, but the coach does need to enforce some kind of off-field discipline.
Cancelling the season was criminal and the Duke president should resign.
From what I have read, the coach should have been fired earlier for lack of player discipline off the field. I have absolutely no empathy for the former coach.
Doesn't make the players guilty of the charged crimes, but it was one more example of why the coach was fired/resigned.
