But Cincy, coaches (and more importantly, boosters) don't bet, do they? Look at Urban Meyer trying to run up the score against Wyoming and Pete Carroll going for a TD instead of a FG on 4th and 5 when he was up 49-10! I'm sure there are other examples I missed today; the pressure on these coaches to cover for their well-heeled boosters is unbelievable!
