100% agree. Don't even need to reference another school. There have been multiple scandalous Ohio State coaches in the past, and their status as a blue blood has never been in question.
Woody Hayes, 5x national champion and Ohio State head coach for over 25 years, was fired after he punched a Clemson player in the throat, amongst enough other things that it warrants a "Controversies" section in his Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woody_Hayes#Controversies
Jim Tressel, 2002 national champion and head coach from 2001-2010, resigned over his involvement in "Tattoo-gate," where as many as 28 players were trading memorabilia for free tattoos over his tenure: https://www.ncaa.com/news/football/artic...te-scandal
