NCAA investigating academic fraud at 20 schools

Really just wish the NCAA would stop pretending that academics are important and manage what they can (barely) control, and that's on the field.
20? Only 20?
College is hard for everyone. It is probably even harder for Athletes. Which is more important to them studying game film or reading Shakespeare? When I was in college a long time ago everyone, not just athletes, knew who the easy profs were. Oftentimes they were Profs who had won teacher of the year awards. Sophists have been around for as long as there has been so called higher education.

NCAA is stretched so thin, and they have no teeth right now. Just look at UNC. There is iron-clad proof, and I doubt the NCAA will drop the hammer on them.
We should demand removal of 'WhitneyGate' from our record. What a scam trick by the NCAA. As soon as they dropped the possibility of removal of wins threat, we rolled over and died. Meanwhile, back to the present, Penn State, with the most disgusting, nauseating violations in the history of college football, is getting their butts kissed by the NCAA.
The NCAA had no business getting involved in that in the first place imo.
I can't wait to see the first school tell the NCAA that it will not comply with a penalty. I wish we had done that with the whole Whitney thing. Until they are consistent, I see no reason to listen to anything they say.
67, while the Penn St episode was bad, what NCAA violations occurred? There may have been criminal wrongdoing, but there were no rules in place by the NCAA that were broken. Mark Emmert had a look at me moment to say "see we did something". Now the NCAA knows they overstepped and are trying to backtrack and save face.
Felt this way all along. Not a PSU apologist, shocked and disgusted
at occurred, but no NCAA rules were harmed in the commission of the felonies in question.
GOCOCKS! BEATKY! BEATTAM!

Of course they ignored UNC and turned the other way....they still remained silent....however, now that so much evidence is out and very public regarding UNC , they are going to look at twenty schools.....this is a joke and is PR to protect unc'is image....before they single out unc, they are going to bring in about 20-30 other schools. Shifts all the PR off UNC, and will try to make some other schools look worst than unc. Tarheels have placed their alum all over NCAA, ESPN.....etc , to protect their golden image..... 
ening because if this happened to any SEC school, it would be on the news every day, and they would be getting the death penalty....so much fraud occurred at unc, I'm surprised they have enough time and employees to focus on anything else. What's most disgusting is I heard callers on several national sports shows asked questions about unc, and they would not discuss... Usually say something like, it's football season, let's cover that later in the year, or let's talk about the big football game etc, of course they had no trouble taking about Jameson Winston stealing crab legs etc.....

Everyone knew the NCAA sanctions would never stand up to the scutiny of a good lawyer. PSU panicked and cowered. Some say the BOT wanted Joe P gone and this was an easy way out. Vacating wins because of a sexual predator that was no longer a coach was never fair.
What happened at Penn State was absolutely disgusting and inexcusable. And it sickens me that PSU is now getting these wins back. Not to re-hash that whole thing, but I think there's pretty much a consensus (at least among rational thinking human beings) that Paterno should have done much more than he did. Just sick and tired of hearing the "no NCAA rules were broken" argument from people. We're talking about CHILD ABUSE of the worst degree. I can't say that enough. Off my soapbox for now.

The wins were the "emotional property" of both the coaches and the players. Punishing innocent people just for retribution's sake couldn't stand up.
