Does it matter if you had sex the day before going through the temple or two years prior? What does time show? That an event is not a habit or pattern. That's all. So I don't think it's unrealistic to think a university would want to wait a few years to see if an event is a pattern or not before they make that person a head coach.
Practically speaking, it was for the PR to die down. But I also don't think Utah did anything wrong here, and I don't think Scalley is really a racist. I think he messed up and we should let it be.
