Bobcat Love's Sense of Shame

It's not super clear to me why people here are so focused on the alcohol.
Our 40-something coach, one of the highest paid employees at the university, had an ongoing relationship with an undergrad. Does anybody actually believe his attorney's letter that he didn't know that?
His lawyer may well be right that there's no explicit policy against that, and maybe in the end that'll be enough to get Smith paid out.
But at minimum that shows really, really, really poor judgment on Smith's part.
Remember that the goal of the lawyer releasing this letter is to try and own the narrative. That means this is the best possible spin they can put on the situation. It's not a coincidence the reference to a four month relationship with an undergrad is a sentence, but there's two paragraphs about drinking bourbon with high level people at the University.
And there seem to be a lot of people who are burying the lede the way Smith's lawyer intended.
Sure, Lane Kiffin is doing the same thing. Do we have any desire to be like LSU and Lane Kiffin as an institution?
