No one asked him to be a saint.
I guess for you there is never a red line he can cross because he won 6 super bowls

So anything goes

NCAA is going to hit UNC with the dreaded "lack of institutional control". Wild that Bill seems to find a new way to embarrass himself so frequently.

Doesn't exist anymore. This is NIL era. Anything goes.

You may have noticed: this is NOT an NCAA investigation.

Every single top school has blown past the $20m cap on athlete payments by a factor of 4. They can't police it, they don't even have the authority to police it anymore.

If UNC isn't blowing through NCAA regulations, they are the only major college team complying with them

I would be happy if Charlie Manson out coach if he won 6 SBs. I have absolutely zero interest in players or cis hex personal lives.

But, what if he welched on a bet? I think that is too much, it’s just the sign of a man with no balls.

Your post made me think of how Bill's dad was an assistant coach at Navy for Bill's entire childhood and beyond, which means Bill grew up in Annapolis and was quite familiar with the hazing culture then in full force at the US Naval Academy. Bill graduated high school in Annapolis in 1970, long before anything like political correctness had become a thing. We saw Bill's IDGAF attitude on display for his 20+ years in New England.

I always also wondered if this kind of gave Bill a chip on his shoulder because, while his dad was successful there, he wasn't a USNA grad. There definitely is an old boy's club at USNA (and in the Navy as a whole) that his dad didn't qualify for.

‘I’m a Navy man’: Bill Belichick grew up in the Naval Academy with his father as a legendary coach there

Bill Belichick’s unprecedented success as a coach goes all the way back to when he, as a kid, shadowed his father at the Naval Academy. “I’m a Navy man… It’s been my life.”

There was a leftward drift by 1970, but it was marginal enough that it was nothing like the rabid leftism today which actively seeks to repress, even criminalize, disagreement, and with whom, given the perfervid obsessiveness and unreflective certainty of any sort of ideologue, no intellectually honest, genuine, adult discussion of issues is possible or even permitted. It's all asinine placard-wavers down at the strip mall, and knuckledragger insults online. Much of the left's attention, too, was directed at the Viet Nam War, so that "social issues" drew less attention than now. One was not supposed to distrust anyone over thirty and you did well to mouth a few feminist platitudes if you you were looking to get with the young ladies of the day: that was about it. I was as conservative/libertarian then as I am now, and I experienced no ostracization, though I was aware of being in the minority of my age bracket. My brother, a few years younger, organized all sorts of protests - lying on Main Street covered in ketchup soaked sheets (My mother was pissed): that sort of thing. But, you know, he was a drummer, so you've got to make allowances.
