Allegations about Blake’s possible role in the North Carolina agent scandals are only Blake’s most recent headlines. I’ve followed John Blake’s career with a combination of morbid fascination and interest since his days in the 1990s wrecking the Dallas Cowboy locker room and then the Oklahoma Sooner football program.
And as a Longhorn and Cowboy fan, I confess that I was bothered by only one of those offenses. One has to wonder what North Carolina – one of the nation’s most respected public universities and a school one does not generally associate with scandal – could have been possibly thinking?
