I just saw this thread. I have to add this little anecdote. .
For the 2016 Rose Bowl (what a great time, how things change in a few years), the Stanford AD contracted the Woodland Hills Marriott as an official Stanford fan hotel. We stayed there. On the morning of January 2, at the brunch buffet, there was a basketball team eating at the same time. They were wearing Morgan State warmups. I overheard a woman asking a heavy-set middle aged man, "Are you the coach?" but didn't think much about it at the time. A day later, just out of curiosity, I googled Morgan State to see where it was located. That's when I realized that the man who was asked if he was the coach was none other than Todd Bozeman!
(For those of you unfamiliar with Todd Bozeman, enter his name on Wikipedia. It actually has, as the second paragraph, "Scandal and controversy". Bozeman had paid a recruit's parents $30 k to sign across the Bay. When the player's playing time dropped, the parents turned Bozeman in to the NCAA. Not quite sure who was more reprehensible in that transaction.)
