As they say: "The road to hell is paved with good intentions."
But I digress.
I think the shabby way Mr. McCarty is being treated is more like a knee-jerk reaction from USC, sort of like a school dean suspending a student for marching up to him and zipping up his fly for him when it was open in public.
If Mr. McCarty is guilty of something similar, it doesn't necessarily mean that the book should be thrown at him.
