Don't be afraid. Also, do not confuse what some sportswriter puts in an article as being indicative of what coaches are thinking. I really, really, really doubt that what some "journalist" writes is going to then set the tone for a change in attitude amongst Big Ten coaches.
Now I tend to look at things a little differently than most people and when I read that sentence, I took it as slamming the SEC and their appearnace of not taking off the field issues as seriously as JT. I didn't see the concerns or fear that you may have seen, I actually see the opposite...a reaffirmation of the standards that JT has for his players, his program, and his university. And as a 2 time alumnus of
OSU that is exactly what I want (as well as continual dominance over the skunkbears).
