Now they have certainly botched the UM case. Why? Because there was so much pressure. The Yahoo story which was shotty journalism almost entirely based on one very questionable source…questionable in reputation and motive. That story was picked up and run by major news organizations.

When the NCAA didn’t have a response worthy of the hype, they pushed the limits and botched things by forcing people to testify under oath in the felon’s bankruptcy hearing, then paying the felon’s lawyer to do the questions.

The pressure was to great to meet the hype.

There needs to be an NCAA enforcement though. Emmert may need to go, but to hear cheaters like Pete Carrol (see Benny K’s daily one liners) whining about the NCAA is really annoying.

UM had cheaters, they punished themselves and the athletes who cheated. They may still get hit.

But USC, UNC, OSU, FSU and others in recent history have no complaint.

PSU fans really shouldn’t talk either cuz that is the most disgusting thing that has ever happened in college football….PERIOD.

The complaint should be that those cheating aren’t caught often enough. The SEC is so systemically corrupt and tight lipped that Yahoo or others may never get into that mess….it is probably dangerous for them.

The complaint also could be that players should get a stipend. Add up all D 1 players, add up all revenue, take a percent of it and divide it by the number of athletes…pay them something.

Universities make millions off “amatuer athletes” and coaches like Saban make multi million a year.

So the NCAA botched things….but cheating still needs to be stopped.

I certianly don’t wanna hear Pete Carroll whine!

Go Canes!
