Francis T.Cullen, Edward J. Latessa and Cheryl L. Johnson are all professors with studies in the crimonological field. They are all authors of "Assessing the Extent and Sources of NCAA Rule Infractions." Highlighting the Ohio State scandal in which featured star quarterback Terrelle Pryor, small crimes are revealed as not thought of as serious by many college athletes. Studies and surveys show that a lot of them think of it as a culture perhaps and not really felonies.
"Research has increasingly revealed that universities are not ivory towers free from the problems of the larger society, but are the domains marked by such waywardness as binge drinking, sexual victimization, and predatory crime” (Cullen 668).
“Serious rule violations by leading college athletic departments have undermined the traditional role of universities as places where young people learn ethics & integrity” (Cullen 669)
“Asking the athletes to self-report whether they “had ever accepted financial benefits not allowed by the NCAA…31% admitted to accepting improper benefits while they were in college…and almost half reported knowing athletes at their college who took under-the-table payments” (Cullen 671)
