Stan, Well, there's cheap publicity and unwanted publicity. I don't think QU needs any cheap publicity; they apparently mail info every year to every high school in the country. Demonstrations of alleged plagiarism would be unwanted publicity in my opinion. Stories of how teams are aggrieved and don't go to this competitions because he plays favorites and writes bad questions aren't reasons for me to want to go to his tournaments. Maybe getting hosed is good reason for other teams since to them "that's the way the game is." I don't know. In the rest of the world, academic dishonesty has resulted in sanctions, outright dismissal, and even the loss of a prized football coaching position. :) I don't think George O'Leary (or anyone else at Notre Dame or Georgia Tech) would have welcomed the news that O'Leary's resume contained false information, as a reason for recruits or non-athletes to attend their schools. Heck, if you wanted cheap publicity, he could get a news reporter, even an internet reporter, to go to his comp and laud praises over it. Such was the case with an ihigh.com report, with a student correspondent from Dunbar (KY) when giving a view of the Panasonic competition last year.
