If the university knowingly permitted use of a university vehicle & driver to pick up players, a sort of on-call car service, then the university just handed taxpayers a helluva lot of liability. (unless every bit of that was athletic association funded with literally zero university oversight)
It really doesn't have to get to the point of who was drinking, where they were drinking, etc. Those things may have bad optics but the issue is turning into a taxi service for drunk players. (And let's face it, given the quality of dancers at Toppers or lack thereof, nobody is sitting in there sober)
Now from an athletic standpoint, there's a significant potential can of worms here. It's only been three years since the
NCAA stripped Mary Hardin-Baylor of a D3 national championship because the coach loaned his 20 year old Subaru to a few players.
If THAT was impermissible, I'm pretty sure having cars & drivers on call ain't gonna fly either.
