I think the worst thing that happened during the scandal is having the faculty turn on the program. Losing their support hurt the program more than anything. Barnett's refusal to resign (rightly or wrongly) cost the school a president and chancellor and I think faculty like DiStephano was just never going to forget it. Thus, the football program gets stuck with Benson and DiStep. And Barnett was gone in the end anyway.
I think more than anything else football players have to focus on their relations with the faculty and not do anything that will embarrass them. Just like regular students, they have to have a huge respect for professors and not do anything that is going to reflect badly on them and the university. If that is the base, then things will be OK for everyone concerned.
