This like bigute’s defense of DUIs. It’s ok if Utes do it.

I'm still shocked that Scalley didn't get the Ryan Pugh treatment...

Dude stop. Scalley's a good guy who made a minor error in judgement.

But what if they are an utah coach. That’s seems to give a blanket okay

Ojiisan

It clearly isn’t okay as he was reprimanded and it cost him around $450k in salary.
