About the only thing consistent about the NCAA is their inconsistency.

I remember over 20 years ago when Jeremy Bloom was ruled ineligible for Colorado. He was a WR/return man who was an Olympian and actual World Champion in mogul skiing. He had some paid endorsements for snowboards so the NCAA said he couldn’t play college football.

About the same time, Domer DB Tommy Zbikowski wanted to take part in a boxing match with paying customers. The NCAA said that was OK.

The fact that almost nobody would care about the boxing match unless he played football at ND didn’t matter. While on the other hand, people buying snowboards endorsed by Bloom might care about the fact that he was a World Champion skier but probably couldn't care less that he also played college football.

Logic and fairness never seem to be their priorities.

I just looked up Jeremy. He’s a multi-millionaire, the current CEO of the X Games, and is married to a Brazilian actress.

Yuk. Yuk. Agree with your premise. Maybe after all of these decades, it's time to leave behind the "well-rounded education". Someone on the engineering track for instance, shouldn't need to take a poetry class, no? If you want it, certainly. In undergrad, had a guy on the medicine track, that got A's in his classes, and a D in English. (PS, was an English speaker). Now, as a side, am moving back to Ohio, and while looking to rebuild my stable of doctors, have noted that many are from tOSU School of Medicine. So guess we'll see how many we/I interview to see if they're as good as we have here in the boondocks of California. Stay tuned. PS, is tOSU/Wexner Medical buildings a home for the unqualified med school grads? Kinda tongue in cheek, but also kinda serious....thanks

They absolutely did. The ruling (something like $30 million) IS the buyout. Remember when that ruling came out? "Unprecedented hammering by the NCAA", or something like that. They'd never before given a punishment that high (according to my memory of the news). The only reason it was that high (dollars-wise) is because the cheaters were willing to pay it and keep their wins and championship.

Remember when MLB's umpires talked about "their" strike zones? And no one minded, because they were consistent. Yeah, that pitch was 4 inches outside the plate, but he's been calling that strike all evening, and all season. Fine - I don't like it, but at least be consistent. The NCAA has not been consistent at all.
Who was it that had communications with Deion Sanders ~10 years ago? Some wide receiver. Well, he was ruled ineligible simply for not being truthful with the NCAA.
North Carolina lets its players take bogus classes - "introduction to cartoon-watching". No problem.
Some basketball coach (Utah, maybe?) buys some pizza to share with a player whose father just died. The player loses eligibility.
Miami boosters buy hookers and boats and coke and all the things for their players. We'll let them off with time served after self-imposing 2 years' post-season ban, after it was obvious that they won't make any impressive bowl games.
Chase Young wants to borrow some money from a family friend (not a booster) so his girlfriend can go watch his bowl game (and he paid the friend back), and he lost 2 games of eligibility.
Cheaters up north get caught illegally stealing other teams' signals. Just throw some money at us and you can keep all your shit.
Iowa contacts Cade McNamara the day before they're allowed to, and they have to vacate wins.

What's the thing people are saying, now? "Make it make sense." None of this makes any sense.

I'm willing to bet that many people on this board have either participated, or come damn close to participating, in many of the moral behaviors discussed. I think the problem arises when people put sports people on a pedestal and then expect them to act according to the moral compass that they think people on that pedestal should follow. I want to be clear...Vrabel's behavior suggests that he does not interpret the importance of several values in the same way as many people here do...and further that he is going down a path that will lead ultimately to some serious issues in his life. If this is true, it will probably affect his performance as a coach, at least for a period of time.

We know what wins in the end, almost all of the time.
