Football culture in all of those settings trumped basic morality.
In Oxford it seems you can still be a hero if you beat fellow students half to death. Apparently it's okay to encourage your daughters to sexually demean themselves to entice low-character athletes. Apparently it's not that big a deal for one brother to finish his career in psychiatric ICU and the other in court for the same or similar substance.
Bad things happen everywhere, but the folks in charge in Oxford have aided and abetted and lied and rationalized and created an environment that any decent parent should examine closely before they send an 18-year-old there.
They've lost their way in Oxford. They've lied to journalists, to recruits, to students, to parents. I hope the NCAA realizes what's at stake. It's bigger than SEC football.
