" But Maisel also points out that the NCAA limits the amount of time an athlete can spend "working" with the team to 20 hours a week. So, in essence, the coach is only directly able to manage or supervise his players about 12% of the time, 20 out of 168 hours per week. However, he takes the blame for recruiting players that get arrested or have bad grades (Maisel 21). Naturally, this leads to the question of why would a coach recruit players whose past might indicate a propensity toward such problems? Simply put, if the player is talented enough to help them win, both the school and the coach will be willing to ignore any shortcomings. Winning is what brings in money and makes the administration happy, which in turn keeps the coach from getting fired. Of course, Ohio State is not the only school with such problems. .
Less than two months before John Cooper was fired, the University of Southern California terminated the contract of head coach Paul Hackett. This was not done because he had a losing record during his three years or violated any rules; his teams simply did not contend for a national championship during his tenure and that was the administration's expectation (Araton 3). It is this demand for winning, and winning now, which forces many coaches to go after the players with greatest potential to help them win, without any regard to the kind of person they are. Its no wonder that many of these celebrated recruits are the same players that are at the center of this controversy. .
These are the likes of Ohio State's Reggie Germany who, Maisel points out, was declared ineligible for the bowl game against South Carolina because of his 0.0 fall GPA and his team's quarterback, Steve Bellasari, who was arrested a year later for drunken driving (Wong 2). Similar reports of irresponsibility, misbehavior, and academic failure come from a variety of schools all over the country. Roughly one dozen University of Georgia football players were involved in a "bar room brawl" during the summer of 2001.
