Would the check have prevented it (it was before Oregon did checks)??? I don't know, but it will make sure he doesn't get another chance.

I have no problem with background checks at all. I just hope people are still realistic about what they are going to find or prevent. And if someone does not have a record, you are not going to prevent them any more than before if that person's intentions are not pure or legal. And that is why you see a coach that might have a history of violating the law, but it only comes to light after the 10 person they have violated reports the events. If anything there is fans that attend games that schools need to be more worried about and they are not given background checks before they enter games.
