“2. Does a possible financial impact have anything to do with all the lying, failure to report crime, cover-up, etc?”
DUH.....
Let me restate that and make myself a bit more clear:
What is the estimate of revenue generated by the football program, both for the university and the local area. Is that impact worth a cover up for such a long period of time?
I have no clue about the local area, nor have I found a dollar figure that would make that clear, so any opinion or fact appreciated.
