And Kansas just signed a $191 million contract with Adidas last Friday. What a coincidence.

This is bigger than just one school. This could...and theoretically should...lead to reform among the entire NCAA. Frankly, the NCAA looks like a bunch of fools compared to what the FBI was able to do. And I'm still curious about that Alabama administrator who left his post. He used to work for the NCAA and then got a job at Alabama. It's almost like the NCAA knew some of this stuff was going on and put their own people out in the field to keep it under wraps.

The conclusion was that,with the amount of money the NCAA makes on March Madness,they aren't going to do anything anything to kill the goose that laid the Golden Egg. Looks like the FBI may force the NCAA's hand.

As such, they already qualify for the death penalty. Will be interesting to see if they enforce this.

Of course the FBI, a government entity, is going to have more ability to uncover stuff. I'm just pointing out that the NCAA's "enforcement" isn't what some think it is.

It don't think anyone would compare the two. That being said,even when the NCAA does uncover violations that warrant severe penalties,in many cases they don't enforce them since that will affect their bottom line. Before March Madness last year WFAN had several sports pundits on talking about the fact that,just based on what had been made public,Louisville should get the "death penalty".But,they said having them out of March Madness for an extended period would be bad for the tournament,so it wasn't ever going to happen. Their position was that,as far as the NCAA is concerned,certain programs are above the rules.
