On the other hand, the NCAA put sanctions on Cal Tech (Pasadena CA) for its academic practice of permitting students to attend a class for two weeks, and then drop with no problems. Rationale: That process may have (but never did) result in a student playing basketball and not being a full time student.

Good to know the NCAA standards are so fairly applied.

Holding Black athletes to the same standards as White athletes is Racist!

Mark Emmert is the biggest phoney and disgrace to ever lead the NCAA, and that’s saying something.

Everyone—except, it seems, the NCAA—knows that the “Afro-American studies” courses at these college sports factories are shams. The University of Washington got caught in a similar AA Studies scam with its football players a decade ago.

African American studies replaced basket-weaving.

At a minimum, these college athletes should be able to write not just their first name but also their last name as well in order to be eligible to play.

If you wish to study Afro-Americans, get in an armored car and drive through South Side Chicago on a Saturday night, Or Southeast Washington DC or Philadelphia or most any ghetto they dwell in.

You will certainly get an education.

Better yet go there and ask if you can ride with one of their ambulance crews.THAT will certainly give you an education.

Unc and Ohio st are so corrupt but only get slaps on the wrist. Osu pays one player 40,000 that was admitted to. They have possible a million dollar team.

Potuto is a former NCAA Committee on Infractions member and chairwoman, and currently is the NCAA faculty athletic representative at Nebraska. She told Yahoo! Sports last month that she's concerned about the precedent the Penn State ruling sets for the NCAA to jump outside its standard operating procedures. Now, Potuto said, the NCAA will have to explain itself every time it chooses not to get involved in an athletic issue on campus that is not directly related to NCAA bylaws. So it's time for an explanation. Or another intervention. North Carolina provides an immediate and intriguing test case for the expanded powers of Mark Emmert and the NCAA.

The NCAA thanks to Mark Emmert has painted itself into a corner -- a precedent-setting corner.

It is pretty much an understatement to say it’s only a NC college scandal ... it is truly a NCAA scandal that includes all its members.
