This is apparent, I think, in the lack of action taken over this very thing. And this 'weakness' was the point that Freeh exploited using the PSU report to audition his services to the NCAA as their investigative partner, if I recall
. That is why it became even more important for Freeh to find some fault with JVP - to show the NCAA his fearlessness in going after the violators. In this case, even if they could find nothing to report, they needed to say they did, based on opinion and 'reasonable conclusions'. Well, that, plus the Task Farce had paid them to find fault....
Joe had been saying for years that he had long since given up reporting the violations he heard about from players and coaches, because the NCAA just didn't do anything about it anyway. Players I knew used to just laugh about the stuff other schools would promise them. And even if they were pissed at Joe about his demands, they consistently said that at least Joe told them the truth about how he would challenge them on and off the field.
