    Another major violation and NCAA will kill the program.

    Pete Carroll knew this was coming and got out while the getting was still good.

    He vehemently denies that. I'm skeptical.

    I don't see Haden allowing a dirty program, and he's talking about schools like Stanford and ND being models.

    On the other hand, he's got Lane Kiffin and Orgeron. This could be wild.

    No, it won't. The NCAA can't afford to kill programs.

    The NCAA doesn't kill programs. Programs kill programs.

    Haden was wrong to come to sidelines to argue with officials but the
    righteous indignation of sports commentators and pundits is over
    the top.

    Agreed. I didn't think it was that big of a deal. There are other big time ADs who regulalry stand on the sideline and stare down refs, nothing wrong with that. He shouldn't have gotten involved, but if anyone is to blame for that, it's Sarkisian, because he shouldn't have asked Haden to get involved. I like Sarkisian, but part of me wants to say, "What you can't handle yourself when there is a controversial call? Grow a pair."

    Reminded me of youth football where many leagues have a "Field Marshall"
    to intercede between refs and parent coaches to interpret rules. But
    again was not the big deal that ESPN keeps making it out to be.

    My sense is that ESPN is concerned with the integrity of their bowl series.

    Probably. I covered a game awhile ago where a high-profile AD berated the refs to their faces as they left the field after a controversial loss. To be fair, this was after the game, but it was far more heated than what Haden did. But the cameras either didn't catch it, so as far as anyone is concerned, it never happened.

    Pat Haden can thank Ray Rice for getting him off the
    social media court docket.
