Oh my we can't see the forest for the trees can we? Wasn't it better when you were honoring your bet? As such a loyal and true college footaball fan, I don't know if I'd throw rocks around glass houses (I cut out the BB stuff because the list of cheating was so long):

The NCAA has released its report on Central Florida, which includes the full list of penalties handed out to the men’s basketball and football programs. The sanctions are headlined by a one-year postseason ban in both sports.
Citing a “lack of institutional control,” the NCAA has hit UCF with the following penalties:
—Public reprimand and censure.
—Five years probation from Feb. 10, 2012, through Feb. 9, 2017.
—Postseason ban for the 2012 football season ...
—A three-year show-cause order for the former director of athletics and a one-year show cause for the former assistant football coach. The show-cause orders do not allow any contact with prospective student-athletes. The public report contains further details. Disassociation of three representatives of athletics interest (self-imposed by the university).
—Reduction of five initial (from 25 maximum) and five total (from 85 maximum) football scholarships for three academic years...
—$50,000 fine...
—Reduction of the number of permissible off-campus recruiters.
—Reduction of two full-time football coaches permitted to recruit off-campus during the 2012-13 and 2013-14 academic years...
UCF was punished by the NCAA due to the
relationship between several of its coaches and sports agency representative Ken Caldwell, who acted as a middle man between recruits and agents while simultaneously acting as a representative of the university and pushing recruits towards UCF. In addition to having connections to professional agents,
Caldwell is a twice-convicted criminal.
