Miami Cheated?

Most of us are familiar with the Miami (FL) football scandal.  Miami is believed to have cheated by paying players to play which violates NCAA rules.  People don't have the facts straight.  Some people have no idea what they're talking about.  Miami did not cheat.  One person in the Miami football organization cheated.  Just because one person cheated, doesn't mean everybody cheated.  You can get more information on this scandal here.

You see, society overreacts to everything.  We take everything one step too far.  The Miami football scandal perfectly represents our society.  We hear that Miley Cyrus was hired for a music video in Juicy J's new album and she twerked in the video, so, she's pregnant?  No. "Hey everyone, I saw Bob in the halls talking to Mary, so Bob likes Mary!" You see what I mean?  Those examples might not be the best examples, but my point is that society gets ideas in their head, advances those ideas, and the finished product is something completely different than reality.  We jump to conclusions, and it's just not right.  We meaning myself, too.  I'm a victim of taking things too far and jumping to conclusions as well.

So, no, the Miami football organization did not cheat.  One member of the organization cheated.  In order for them to cheat, every single member of their organization would have to cheat in some way, shape or form.  Also, if Miami did cheat, it didn't help them out any.  Miami-14 Florida State-41.  Wait, so Florida State won by 100?
