The same school where his father played a not so small role in delivering the death penalty for accepting illegal inducements to attend said school.

That being said, if the actions of craig james prove to be true, then he should lose his job with ESPN. I have never thought of James as a good analyst, but my personal opinion really doesn't matter here. Craig James should face consequences if the allegations are proven to be true. When a school commits a $100,000+ education to an athlete, then the parents should bend over backwards to support the school and the coach, no matter how many minutes of playing time their child receives.
