OT: With NCAA investigation underway, Arizona's Sean Miller faces complicated future

[whaler11]

I think you are pretty far out on a branch that is close to being sawed off. The NCAA isn’t a court and doesn’t have to consider jurisdiction.

ill let it go after this. but my god you people are beyond insane.

the ncaa isn’t a court... this is true.... yet....

OF COURSE THE NCAA HAS TO THINK ABOUT WHAT THEIR LEGAL JURISDICTION IS.

DO YOU THINK THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA WOULDN’T FILE SUIT AGAINST THEM IF THE NCAA CLAIMED THEY HAVE JURISDICTION OVER THE LEGITIMACY OF COURSES TAUGHT IN THEIR STATE UNIVERSITIES?

If the NCAA showed up in Storrs and said... YOU GUYS HAVE A PUPPET MAJOR LOL EVERYONE WHO TOOK PUPPET CLASSES IS INELIGIBLE... that the State of Connecticut would say sure organization with no legal right to make that determination - whatever you say is cool.

Seriously - get a frigging clue.

I'm more a fan of new words like "accreditation," (post #29) which I imagine in an "Accreditation is to accreditation as mediation is to meditation" sense.

I don't know what it means but there's this sense, given the source, that it's just gotta be right, and woe be to anyone who questions it.

omg someone who had eye surgery three times in six months spelled something wrong.

you really got me there hans.

do you want to claim the ncaa has or should have the right to determine if courses offered at state universities are legitimate too?

Don't be so touchy. I found it genuinely fun, and it was intended to piggyback on the other guy's comment about loving when you play the tough guy.

I'm mixed on the bravado, and way more moved by your medical travails than you might be imagining. But, from a modest place, you might wonder if sometimes you aren't trying to have it both ways.

You can be completely correct, and even feel exasperated that others don't get it, but at a certain point, neither the passion of your certainty nor the futile handwringing about certain parties seeming unfairly 'favored' is an appealing posture. It's kinda like me being overbearing here and now. Nobody wins. We all need hugs.

So your comments about jurisdiction over public or state universities weren't a mistake? We shouldn't worry about Duke because they are private?

what in the world are you talking about. every private school in the country would win in court as well - i just thought youd be more able to wrap you head around the idea they could dictate academics to a state entity.

im giving you and a few others way too much credit. you are never going to move beyond i wanted this to happen so i dont want to even consider why it didnt.

Just reading what you wrote. I make no assumptions
