Okay...  Let's start from the top, that being Billy "goat" Hobert.
After he was suspended, news reports came out that some boosters helped him
  get a job at a golf course down in Puyallup.  So, the PAC-10 extended 
  their investigation.  Since then, I haven't heard anything about it.

Then, Danianke Smith was arrested for drug running and gun-dealing.  This
  incident was not tied to the FB program and it was an individual's fault.

Then, there was the cellular phone scandal.  The coaches don't run the 
  players' lives.  Coaches and fans (including myself) have been aware of
  players carrying cellular phones with them (because I have seen a couple
  doing so).  However, nobody can tell if the phones have been tampered 
  with.  Pair that with the players deceiving the coaches and you've got
  yourself another scandal.  I haven't heard a damn thing about this 
  scandal since it was first reported.

The last one was the Beno Bryant car loan.  Beno borrowed a car from a HS
  friend of his (who plays for the Chargers), because his car broke down
  when he was in California.  The Charger player, however, had registered
  the car to his agent's address, who has been in trouble from the NCAA
  in the past in trying to pay college players money or doin the favors in
  order to represent them.  
  Beno admits that he told Don James about it and James told him to return
  the car ASAP.  This alleged "violation" (as the media would like to have
  us believe) didn't even take place during the 1992 season, to the best
  of my knowledge. 
  The article that I read was very vague and didn't provide much detail.
  
To date, none of the articles about the cellular phone and the Beno Bryant
reports have been clear, to the point, and detailed.

On Monday, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer published an article about a former
UW personality.  The publication and the reported had initially tried to dig
up more dirt about the UW past, but had not found anything negative about
this person.  So, they printed an article about what a good citizen he is and
how he is such good friends with Don James and all that.

It is really sickening...
