>>A NCAA player took money, wow, big suprise. What needs to be done is let all the NCAA division I teams officially be declared the minor league of the NFL. Who goes to class anyway?<<

I'd settle for paying the players - when I in Grad School at Georgia Tech I took an undergraduate Management Calculus course for an easy "A." One day I took one of the kids in the class out for a hamburger one day after I showed him how to do a couple of the tougher problems. He was so grateful.

Then we got to talking and it turned out he was on the football team and that I was an alumni. He totally freaked out thinking he had lost his scholarship but he literally did not have enough money to pay me back for the hamburger.

He made a point of giving the $5 back a couple of weeks later with a bag of nickles and pennies.

Young adults who bring so much revenue into the schools should either be allowed to have jobs or should be given stipends by the schools.

I have to agree with you, the NCAA rules are absurd and frankly I hope they do remove USCs championship so they can start listing asterisks in their record books. And why start with Bush at USC? We know OSU players took money (Clarrett) on a recent championship of theirs; same for Florida and FSU.

My question is what Federal Law did Bush break (assume he took money hand over foot) that is so important that the U.S. Attorney General has to waste resources on this investigation? Can not the NCAA keep their own house clean? The NCAA by-laws are not Federal Laws, are they?

Why are the Feds wasting our tax dollars investigating something we have yet to determine is an actual crime?
