Message: [QUOTE="UCHuskies08, post: 2596399, member: 140"] I don't mean to defend the NCAA, but they don't exactly have the same powers to investigate that the FBI does. They can't subpoena anyone, they can't get warrants to search anyone's offices. This is just further proof the entire college athletics model is a nonsensical anachronism that should probably just go away. Nowhere else in the world do they train young athletes this way, nowhere else in the world are university students made to subsidize the athletic careers of a small number of peers, nowhere else are young athletes unable to sign professional contracts. After becoming a soccer fan (mostly out of disgust with conference realignment), and really seeing how they do it with youth academies that are run by professional teams makes NCAA sports look idiotic by comparison. The incentives are ridiculous and the whole thing has become a clown show. I don't know how much longer I will stay interested. [/QUOTE]
