It Ain’t Watergate???

Regarding the university illegally loaning UCF Athletics 7.6 million dollars, Hitt said, “I really think there's a group of folks who are trying to see this as the next Watergate, and it ain't.”

It’s an odd comment, isn’t it? Watergate involved breaking and entering which is punishable by a prison sentence. The loan to UCF Athletics is illegal, but there is no penalty for the violation which is why UCF did it. I haven’t heard of anyone, other than Hitt, comparing this loan to Watergate. Hitt’s comment makes me think there is more to the story.
