Actually, Montana has usually utilized pretty good kids; they don't have the reputation of someone like Texas who makes a roster out of drug dealers, rapists, gangbangers, and junkies. But even Texas looks puritan compared to Florida State, Miami, and Virginia Tech... I can't understand why the NCAA clobbers USC when you've got "schools" like this out there. At least USC maintains pretty good academic standards; outside of Duke and Virginia, the ACC has NO academic standards.
Montana is feeling a little heat because of the one dirtbag on their roster right now, and their pursuit of the Middleton kid who is a notorious problem. But this isn't par for their course.
