Reading about another school being investigated by the NCAA is like finding out about another B-list celebratory entering rehab.
Yawn.
Tell me, was anyone really surprised about UNC being notified by the NCAA that the school was in deep do-do? Of course not. The Tar Heels just got caught. Some schools do, some don’t.
You've got to figure that all top college football programs are at least bending the rules if they're not full out breaking them.
As a bettor and a fan I just want to see the best players on the field. That’s it.
And that’s becoming more and more difficult with the NCAA burying its head in the sand, only to pop up with its hands over its ears screaming, “I can’t hear you. I’m not listening! La, la, la, la,” anytime someone questions their policies on the student athlete.
No one’s saying the kids have to be paid. Jay Bilas says we just have to abolish this whole amateur athlete business. That way A.J. Green wouldn’t be suspended for selling signed jerseys and Dez Bryant doesn’t have to sit out a season because he spoke with an agent.
Unfortunately the NCAA is a conventional bunch and all it sees is the growing profits college football is bringing in. “If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it.”
So how many more vacated championships are we going to have to see before the old boys admit that system is broken?
Yawn.
