The Moore disaster and "Michigan Man" posturing got me thinking about who has the best scandal resume of the Blue Bloods.  I ranked the top 5 winning programs,  based on lazy and quick research, with #1 being most scandalous....Feel free to add incidents or profiles of others...

#5:  Texas

  • Eyes of Texas Debate
  • Meat on the Hoof (DKR player treatment)
  • 80's NCAA minor infractions
  • Team performance (2010-2022) @ztejas

#4 Notre Dame

  • Academic Cheating (2014 & 2016)
  • George O'Leary Hiring (2001)
  • Recruiting Violations (2021)
  • Manti Teo "Girlfriend" (2012)

#3 Alabama

  • Logan Young Booster Violations and Academic Dishonesty (late 90s)
  • Textbook Scandal (2000s)
  • Mike Price Hiring/Firing (2003)

#2 Ohio State

  • Tatoo-gate(2010)
  • Richard Strauss Abuse (78-98)
  • Urban Meyer/Zach Smith

#1 Michigan

  • Sign Stealing (2023)
  • Sheronne Moore (2025)
  • Matt Weiss Hacking (2023)
  • Robert Anderson Abuse (2022)
  • Rich Rod Sanctions (2010)
  • Gary Moeller Drunkenness (1995)

Michigan has recruiting stuff, behavior stuff, cheating, and horrific abuse.  A clear winner,  OSU has abuse, recruiting, behavior,  AL has  mostly recruiting,  but some of it bad enough to get some consideration of death penalty.  ND a mixed bag, although Brian Kelly could have his own personal chapter across his many stops,  and finally Texas who is either better at keeping it out of the news or is simply stays farther from the edges or both.  (See Herman rumored attempted plane door incident not really getting national attention. )

Gonna go ahead and leave out Oklahoma?

Their own meat on the hoof scandal, basically Bud Wilkinson's entire tenure.

Gordon Cross and the University the football team can be proud of?

Switzer repeat scandals.

Various and sundry acts of horrendous violence by players on innocents.

Texas:

* Ron McKelvey, a 23 year old defensive back who was actually 30 at the time and was not named Ron McKelvey.
* Edwin Simmons, lost his car, his girlfriend, his clothes, and his consciousness over about a six hour period and ended up naked in some alumni's backyard in Northwest Hills.

But nothing is better than:

Texas A&M:

* Gave Eric Dickerson a gold Trans Am.  Eric went to SMU but kept the car.

Man just leaves Joe Paterno off the list like it's nothing

It's the top five winning programs,  by scandal,  not the top 5 scandoulous programs,  although to your point a top 10 would include Penn State and Pedo would be number 1 with a bullet.

Some of you guys missed the “Blue Blood” qualifier to get on the list. Unfortunately, OUsux gualifies and should be on the list. A&M doesn’t qualify (and aren’t on it).

You just triggered Denison. 

It wasn’t a scandal, it was a manufactured controversy.

Simmons is still an amazing head scratcher.   Everything about his time on the 40 acres. 
 

Don’t forget Mike Adams assaulting his girlfriend and Lavell Pinkney crashing a car into a business, a car the university had rented for him?

Woody Hayes behavior on sideline? Shoving cameraman during game and of course choking Clemson player in Gator Bowl. 

If we are gonna go way back, it didn’t go unpunished but how about a Gump player coming off the sideline to tackle Rice QB Dicky Maegle?

Wait.  I just had a Chris Jessie flashback.

What are the top five scandadlous programs in the top five winningest programs is kind of a dumb list.
 

At least go top ten plus you can’t have a meaningful list when Miami and A&M are left off the list those are two of the dirtiest programs in the 80s/90s that ever were. Texas a fucking church lady comparatively.

No Major? Ron Weaver? 

Ron Weaver really had nothing to do with the University. Major’s thing was really small potatoes, but I’m guessing it would keep him from ever being rehired here.

We are amateurs compared to the rest. Sometimes to a fault.

A&M and Miami are historically dogshit programs.

From your list, one of these things is not like the others. But maybe that was your point, or at least I hope so. Eyes of Texas, whatever!

Any list not containing the following is bullshit (no particular order):
OU, aTm, Miami, Baylor, USC, Penn State, Michigan, Michigan State, Auburn, Alabama, ND… the list is to too long and distinguished, with cheaters.

Auditor my ass!

P.S. since you did not write a tldr as any external auditor would (to cover both of our asses), I assume your internal, which is worse. Bunch of nit picking, 0.36 looking for shit, self centered, low down, no good, dirty, rotten, yellow belly sons of bitches!

Where’s the Tylenol jpg!
