No! That is not the end of that. Are you kidding me? This is a major scandal, and not for Wake Forest. Anybody who used that information from Elrod cheated to win a football game. This includes coach Bobby Petrino and Louisville, the only school currently believed to have studied at the Tommy Elrod Institute of Higher Cheating. It apparently includes other schools as well. If the Atlantic Coast Conference has a shred of integrity, this will lead to major suspensions, at minimum.
Petrino apparently cheated to win a game. And it was probably easy to do. When Elrod coached at Wake Forest, he was co-coordinator of the passing game. His other co-coordinator, Lonnie Galloway, now works on Petrino’s staff. That sound you hear should be Galloway calling his lawyer.
Now, you can say other coaches would do what Petrino did, and you are right. In fact, Wake Forest’s statement implies that other schools were involved, and those coaches should also be punished severely.
But I’ve talked to enough football coaches over the years to say, with confidence: A lot of them would not do this. This is also supported by Wake’s statement, which says Elrod “provided or attempted to provide confidential and proprietary game preparations on multiple occasions.” The words “attempted to provide” imply that some coaches told him, “No thanks.” The everybody’s doing it defense is not a defense—and it drives the many honest people in the coaching profession crazy.

The man is lucky he did this to a school that's not big on football, had this happened at Alabama they might have poisoned his entire family.

I mean, if someone is going to give you the opponent game plan and it's not against ncaa rules for you to accept and use that game plan, wouldn't you do it too?
I say punish Elrod to hell and back.. But whether or not others get punished depends on ncaa rules.

Well whoever these other coaches are that may have cheated, it probably didn't work as well as they hoped. Wake just finished its best season in years.
I can't wait to read the list of coaches who accepted and still got their arse beat.

If so, why?
