100% agree Hooper - no shot. For all the good things about this country, one thing that still needs significant improvement in the United States is the ability to recognize and then do away with organizations that are fraudulent or exist only to line the pockets of rich people in a position of power.
Every week now we read another story about some event or decision involving the NCAA were they make illogical, nonsensical decisions... seemingly to prove they have power and control, when really they only exercise it in cases against people (innocent kids) who don't have the power to fight back. Then, when it comes time to do the right thing in a situation that is begging for them to mete out actual punishment (North Carolina), they act like the neutered dog slinking off with its tail between its legs that they truly are.
The NCAA is one of the most pathetic, disgusting organizations in operation today. It has long outlived its usefulness, and is far more of a consistent, foul stain on college athletics than anything else.
The NCAA needs to be torn down and a new governing body put in place that creates and enforces rules that are borne out of the economic and cultural realities of the world in which we live today, and not the arcane, out-of-place rules from 30, 50 and 100 years ago.
The time has come for the federal government (and this comes from someone who usually falls on the side of less government, not more) to step in and do what that gutless piece of crap Mark Emmert and his cronies will never do - get rid of the NCAA as it currently exists, once and for all.
