NCAA is a clown show . They only go after smaller schools that cheat half as much as bigger schools. I don’t know why someone doesn’t start another association to rival the ncaa. They could say the ncaa is a monopoly and unbelievable collusion is involved. Maybe I am dreaming. I think that Knight was always bitching about. I have probably become an old kremudgen .
While the NCAA is certainly not perfect, they are DAMNED if they do, DAMNED if they don't.
You have people screaming on one side that they are sticklers, control too much, don't let players make money, etc.
Then you have people screaming on the other side that they don't enforce rules, don't regulate recruiting, etc.
Well, newsflash....those are 2 very conflicting arguments.
Let's take players making money on their likeness. How does that not just result in making what is going on here 100 times worse? I, a booster for X school, will pay you $10,000 for an autograph! I, a booster for Y school, will pay you $100,000 to come to my business for an hour to speak.
The NCAA is in a no win situation. They clamp down, they look like the bad guys. In all reality, you'd hope that the institutions themselves would have enough pride to not be caught up in these things......
