By this time, McGee was already being held in reserve as a witness in the shooting incident. It makes you wonder about the cops. Obviously, they were going to let the thefts slide as long as they needed McGee as a witness.

McGee's public reaction when it was determined he would serve only a one-game suspension is instructive.

"I deserve to be punished for what I did," he said. "But that's over now. There's nothing I can do about that."

Snyder, the spanking-new coach, comes out looking oily and self-serving. Harris is left with no credibility at all. If President Coor, that brass-plated hypocrite, had an ounce of courage, he would sack Harris, instanter.

In the meantime, the damage to Arizona State University's reputation can never be repaired. How truly terrible for everyone.

We are left with a huge university system from which no resident of the state can derive an ounce of pride.
