Perhaps there are much worse things that could happen. However, for
any institution that values its academic integrity, what allegedly
(and I'll give Walsh the benefit of the doubt until the investigation)
happened certainly threatens UM's academic credibility.
 
Walsh clearly stands for excellence on the ice. He professes, in words,
to profess the same of the ice. The investigation will hopefully show
if his actions are consistent with his words.
