So is he really a traitor for accepting faxes? Sure, there are some ethical and moral issues with what happened, but he isn't a "traitor."
I have a hard time believing he wasn't a major player in orchestrating the whole thing. He used contacts made while under the employ of UT and Majors to steal information in order to gain an unfair advantage to defeat them. Pretty bad thing to do to your former employer. On the topic of Zook coaching, He has a lot of experience coaching special teams on both college and the NFL. Perhaps he was contacted in that capacity.
