NCAA

Does this organization try to make itself foolish on purpose?

So, the OSU guys get suspended, not now, but for next season? They won't miss a bowl game, but the first five games of 2011? I guess money talks. The irony is that people would still watch the OSU bowl game and the five players will return next year, after sitting the games, fresh for the end of the season. Now, if they were also banned from practices, spring and fall up to the fifth game, that'd be something different, though still not what should have been done.

"Should" is the key word. I guess there's an NCAA rule that prohibits players from selling items they get from being athletes. Is that a joke? Is the focus that players get things other students don't get? If so, ha ha ah! Let's see...scholarships, training facilities, better meals, etc. I suppose those are all open to all students? Let's see...not going to classes or made up phys ed courses, lower SATs/ACTs, hmmmm. What hypocrites run the NCAA! It must be fun to be able to pick and choose which "principles" are to be followed or abandoned.

Instead of NCAA, maybe the name should be changed to MCAA, Monetary Collegiate Athletic Association.
