i woke up early, just like kids on a certain holiday. Each present is a victory taken away and a season with no postseason.

I know it's a page right out of their playbook, but this really pisses me off. You don't want to be penalized? Maybe don't fucking cheat. YOU CHEATED. YOU'RE NOT THE VICTIMS HERE.

Imagine making the argument that Enron shouldn't be fined because they got rid of everyone who was involved in the scam and the remaining employees did nothing wrong.
This argument only works with college sports because people (fans and media alike) have infantalize these players as "kids" for so long. Because a 20 year old 400 pound defensive tackle who's making 6 figures in NIL, is on anabolic steroids, getting drunk as hell at parties and bars, driving a brand new Suburban, banging multiple chicks and can lift a car over his head is a "kid".
They are too stupid to make adult decisions and don't know what they're doing because they have horrible decision making skills. And they have horrible decision making skills because everything bad they have ever done is immediately forgiven. The worst repurcussions most of them ever face is running some laps in practice because they missed an assignment in a game. And all because they are infantilized by everyone because they are good at a sport. Then everyone wonders why they get in fights, knock up women out of wedlock, punch their girlfriends in the face and get DUIs
Three of the biggest lessons someone can learn in life is that there are consequences for your actions, that life isn't fair and that you will be judged for who you associate with. Letting college "kids" get away with literal murder only does them a disservice.
In fact, as professional athletes they are role models to young kids and should be held to a higher standard.
And it should start at today. At noon. Or whatever time the NCAA makes their public statement.
