More devastating than spelling deficiencies? :-) I'm with Rut on this one. The Iowa coach was at a party with adults (young ones, but adults) doing nothing illegal or immoral (although his wife may take exception to his "friendly" smooches on hotties). What's the issue?

Please, please keep one thing in mind. Basketball coaches are not fired for illegal and immoral conduct in most cases. Losing basketball games is neither, yet is cause for firing.

Eustachy is a visible public representative of the institution. The standard is higher for him, as is the salary. Those pictures make him look like a lush and the university he represents look like goofs. I think that the alcoholism angle, especially if he is addressing may merit special consideration, but embarrassing the program can get you fired, as can many other legal acts.
