Title: Jason Whitlock Gets it Right about Lyles Post by: rueben on July 10, 2011, 06:55:30 PM http://msn.foxsports.com/collegefootball/story/willie-lyles-texas-oregon-recruiting-scandal-street-agent-is-a-rat-070611 (http://msn.foxsports.com/collegefootball/story/willie-lyles-texas-oregon-recruiting-scandal-street-agent-is-a-rat-070611)
Why am I mentioning this now? Because what most bothers me about Willie’s latest attention grab is the possible harm he has done to two kids, Lache Seastrunk and LaMichael James. Their eligibility could be jeopardized. Oregon could land on probation, lose its coaching staff. James is likely to face ridicule from opposing fans for the allegation of academic impropriety. His Heisman Trophy candidacy might be hurt. These kids came from tough backgrounds. Lyles portrayed himself as someone who wanted to help. I’m going to keep it all the way real. Lyles portrayed himself as the black man willing to help these young black boys. But now that there’s a little heat, a chance to strike back at the white football coach who committed the reprehensible crime of giving Willie’s fledging business $25,000 in startup cash and getting quiet when the NCAA started asking questions, Willie threw everyone under the bus. Sellout. Attention whore. Snitch.

It's like the hitmen in organized crime; coaches think they are clean if they simply pay for the crimes. No need to blame Lyles any more than the coaches. Sure, Lyles is slimy and lied, but anybody who paid for his services knew what they were hiring. It's all dirty at that level, and they are all to blame.
