I don’t like the guy, but he’s not wrong.

In other news; the sun came up this morning and BobPSU92 starts his day with a medium roasted Latte followed by a blueberry scone and watching three hours of sideboob videos on the Internet. That gets him up and ready to thrust into his day's work schedule...

Except that I need a nap after two minutes of said videos.

The question becomes this: since the founding of the NCAA in 1906: how often has the organization really "set an example' for enforcement in football and basketball that actually 'frightened" schools into compliance? the former Big 8 conference with Texas and Oklahoma ran rings around any type of enforcement rules, as well as other schools. The NCAA only ever invoked the death penalty five times: UK's basketball team in 1952, Louisanna-Lafeyette's basketball team in 1973-74, SMU in 1987, and then Div 2 Morehouse College Men's Soccer in 2004 and Div 3 MacMurray Men's tennis programs in 2006, 2007 seasons. Only five times in 118 years of existence is either showing great restraint or covering their eyes so as not to cause "waves" among friends and donors....

They targeted PSU and JVP based on media stories and old grudges. Then they let UNC skate on flat-out-in-your-face academic fraud.

Rot on the vine, ncaa. The sooner the better.
Classic example of karma being such a you know what. NCAA was losing credibility particularly when it came to enforcement actions at the time. Emmert and his lackeys saw the Sandusky scandal as a perfect opportunity to “re-establish” its relevance and authority. So they “went outside” the scope of its authority as Emmert admitted when he announced the sanctions to “punish” Penn State. However, the end result was that the NCAA became essentially powerless when it backed down and removed some sanctions in the face of a lawsuit which correctly claimed the NCAA had no authority to impose sanctions rather than try to defend its defenseless position in court.
