Check out this good read by Stewart Mandel on the NCAA’s new-found vigilance in exposing the work of agents in college football.
What gets me about this whole thing is that the NCAA is, at this very moment, staffed by people who have for years profited off of scalping school allotments of Men’s Basketball Final Four tickets. The scandal currently bubbling up at Kansas is just the tip of the iceberg. Almost every Division One school is involved and the list of participants in this scheme included university presidents, athletic directors, head coaches and administrators. And who staffs the NCAA? Mostly former administrators at Division One schools…the very ones who were raking in the dough this whole time.
It’s all well and good to investigate the proliferation of agents in college sports. But it’s frustrating to see such selective enforcement by an outfit that is steeped in its own corruption.
Will the NCAA investigate itself? Or will that task be left to others?
Stay tuned.
Huh? Why would you want the NCAA to investigate themselves? Wouldn’t it make sense to have an independent party do that?
Besides, it sounds like federal authorities are already investigating. I’m pretty sure they’d do a far better job than the NCAA could, you know, with the power to subpoena testimony and what not.
I’m being ironic.
ironic? I was thinking more like moronic? lmao just kiddin HP, believe or not I got you on that one. It all goes back to the greed factor. And the bastards runnin thye show at all levels in this country didn’t get their share by being passive. They actively go for the gold and will do whatever it takes to line dem thar pockets.
