These are the programs who try to win the right way and have had success. No allegations of $100s of thousands of payments by coaches or boosters.
Wisconsin - several RB wins
UCLA - several RB wins
Stanford - Harbaugh era
Utah - success in the past 5 years
Northwestern - RB appearance
I can’t think of anyone else.
With camp over, the UCLA Bruins and head coach Chip Kelly have announced that six players have been suspended for Saturday’s season opener against the Cincinnati Bearcats.
The players who have been suspended are Devin Asiasi, Soso Jamabo, Osa Odighizuwa, Mo Osling III, Moses Robinson-Carr, and Boss Tagaloa.
According to a tweet of UCLA’s release from Bruin Report Online, the players will not play for unspecified “violations of Athletic Department policies.”

USC fans think that because the money was laundered they are running a clean program.
Dick Vitale says UCLA should sit Ball, teammates, ALL year
ESPN's Dick Vitale feels pretty STRONGLY about how UCLA should punish its three players arrested for shoplifting.
· Kevin Flaherty - 13 hours ago
ESPN college basketball icon Dick Vitale has some pretty strong feelings about the UCLA players who were arrested for stealing during their team’s trip to China. And he had no problem letting those feelings out when broadcasting the second half of the North Carolina-Michigan game.
Vitale started in while discussing Michigan’s schedule, which includes an upcoming game with the Bruins. “UCLA, Steve Alford’s got some talent down there, lost those three kids in that incredible scene down there in Shanghai,” Vitale said. “[Those] kids [are] very lucky they that they are not still in China. Multiple stores they stole from. It’s just embarrassing. Humiliating, representing their university in that fashion. “I’ll personally tell you this: If they play again this year, those kids, I say shame on you, UCLA. I really mean it. Shame on you,” Vitale said. “I mean, there’s no way in the world. Have them practice, do what they can, go to class, give them a year, but they have to learn from that.
You can’t just say as their dad said, ‘What is it, they just stole some sunglasses.’ Are you kidding me? Are you serious, LaVar Ball? What kind of parental advice is that to young people? Don’t get me started on that.”
UCLA is currently 5-1 while sitting out the three freshmen who were arrested: LiAngelo Ball, Cody Riley and Jalen Hill. The Bruins will travel to Michigan on Dec. 9.
“An assistant basketball coach at UCLA exchanged at least eight calls in May 2017 with the middleman at the heart of the federal probe into bribery and corruption in the sport, according to phone records reviewed by The Times.
The calls between David Grace, UCLA’s top recruiter for five seasons before his dismissal in April, and Christian Dawkins are the first public link between UCLA and the investigation that has shaken college basketball. UCLA said in a statement it was aware of the communication and has “no reason to believe the calls are indicative of any improper conduct …” Grace, now an assistant at California, declined to comment through a spokesman. A statement from Cal said it wasn’t aware of the calls between Grace and Dawkins, but, mirroring UCLA’s language, added it has “no reason to believe that any improprieties have taken place.” Neither school has been contacted by federal authorities regarding the case.
A jury in U.S. District Court in New York convicted Dawkins and two other men last month on counts of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud in connection with payments to big-name recruits to influence which college they attended Call logs from May 3, 2017, to July 3, 2017, for one of the two cellphones used by Dawkins were entered as evidence during the trial.
Among the more than 3,100 calls Dawkins made or received during the period, The Times found numbers belonging to at least nine head coaches and 14 assistants at major programs in addition to a number of NBA players, front-office personnel, financial advisors, shoe company employees, club team coaches and others.”
There is zero interest by the media or the public into looking into third tier programs that haven't won anything.
Who cares what happens to a program like utla that is coming up on 40 years since it's last rose bowl win? No one (still two words) even bothers going to games anymore, so why would anyone care what goes on there?
all programs are dirty. all programs have players that have no business being in their college, including stanford. All programs do dirty things to keep those players on the field.
Wisconsin has had success, BUT is currently on a five year NCAA probation and scholarship restrictions.
Utah hasn't won anything. Stanford hasn't won anything. Utla hasn't won anything. Northwestern hasn't on anything. Until they do , yawn at what goes on behind the scenes. sc
Any program that willingly gives their players handicap placards b/c they are too lazy to walk is FAR from clean. They get their own special corner in hell, frankly. Of course, when their med school is openly selling body parts, WTH do you expect...
Sam Gilbert is laughing at your notion of clean. Also in hell, btw, sitting right next to "blind-eye" john wooden.
Which UCLA players got $150k? Who? Pat Cowan? Chris Markey? Lol
Sorry, no allegations like that. If there were they would finish higher than 50th in recruiting. I do agree with you on Boston College. They should be in the Top 10 but they have no big Bowl wins.
Do you live in Fucla Fantasy Land?
most successful clean FBS program
one stands alone: 'furd
other somewhat successful clean programs that have only been accused of crib courses for ballers:
Northwestern Boston College (is point shaving an NCAA infraction?)
Rice
Air Force Colorado State
Bowling Green
Central Michigan Florida Atlantic Kent State North Texas Ohio Troy UAB Western Michigan
sorry, baby bears don't make the cut, with a program less clean than Texas A&M
Funny how the domers keep many clean programs and Navy on their schedule
Success?
lol
