Where there is smoke you will find NCAA officials pissing on the flams. the NCAA has mastered the art of cover up and even with the DOJ investigation the NCAA it will be insulated from any wrong doing.
The NCAA has become the MAFIA Money Train. They will continue to strong arm College Athletics with their unethical and ravenous manipulation of rules and sanctions to protect the Power Conferences. It appears that NCAA officials and conference powerbrokers have formed an alliance to control and protect the MONEY pipeline.
Until the inept and unorganized "
have not's" (non P5 schools) form a coalition to mandate the removal of all current NCAA officials we will be doomed. However, that is only the tip of the iceberg, There must be a restructure of the current prejudicial rules that protect and give undue power and control to the "Anointed Five". conferences. How can it be justified that five conference were able to create a weighted voting system that allows them to control 70% of the power of a governing association that is made up of 110 conferences. *(P5, G5, 26 DIV I, 29 DIV II and 44 DIV III Conferences). Understandably there is a clear separation between the 10 DIV I conferences that play football and basketball, FCS schools that play football and basketball, DIV I non football conferences, DIV II and DIV III. If a reorganization would force a separation so be it.
The NCAA is a quasi–governmental association that clearly has run amuck There is no check and balance to protect non P5 conference. History has proven they adjudicate and design sanctions that are prejudicial and intended to insulate the Power Five Conferences. It is appalling that paid NCAA appointed and selected officials receive exuberantly insane salaries to kiss the arse of the "Anointed Five". and sc**w everyone else.
Sorry for the rant.
