Cheating Nostalgia

Now, it is true that there has always been corruption in sports, and that there always will be corruption in sports. But what made the '80s the "greatest" time for cheating was not just the volume (was there a Southwest Conference school -- other than Rice -- that didn't land on probation in 1985?), but the sheer simplicity of it. The moral lines were always so clear. It was easy for us to generate the proper amount of outrage at the proper people.

And this is why... I wonder when something as simple as cheating got to be so unbelievably convoluted.

What worries me is that what he said somehow made sense to me.
