First of all, I'm not suggesting that you lack integrity. I will be honest and admit that I am suggesting that fans who desire the coach, AD, or other University officials to turn a blind eye or give preferential treatment to Justin Strong in this case probably do lack integrity.
My claim that the relevant University personnel acted with integrity has nothing to do with the length of the suspension given. Nor am I making the claim based on my knowledge of the legal facts of the situation.
I am saying that they acted with integrity because their response to the situation is consistent with their team, departmental, and institutional values. No, a lesser suspension wouldn't necessarily negate their integrity. No, a longer suspension wouldn't necessarily reinforce their integrity. No, additionally revealed facts wouldn't change my opinion of this. Based on the information they had, in light of their principles, and in keeping with the expectations and repercussions set forth in the student-athlete handbook, they did the right thing. And for that, I applaud them.
