Message: [QUOTE="UConnNick, post: 2683604, member: 1526"] If a student-athlete isn't responsible for wrongdoing by a parent, then why was Boatright suspended at the beginning of his freshman season because they suspected some bag man gave his mother money to pay for some Christmas gifts? Wasn't he suspended more than once for various numbers of games eventually adding up to about six? I think the distinction made in the Cam Newton Sweepstakes orchestrated by his dad is the NCAA went along with the fairy tale that Cam had no idea what dad was doing behind his back. You'd think Boatright's case would have been somewhat similar, but unfortunately for Ryan, he wasn't the high profile starting QB for a No. 1 NCAA team. Also Emmert being in charge of the NCAA didn't help, either. Trying to determine the NCAA's motivation for rule enforcement or lack thereof is a useless exercise in futility. It never makes any logical sense. They personify the terms arbitrary and capricious. [/QUOTE]
