Message: [QUOTE="TRUCONN76, post: 2701052, member: 4143"] The biggest flaw in the commissions report is its attempt to exempt the NCAA from responsibility for the corruption that has over taken the sport. It blames the college presidents as it should, but it doesn't emphasize the presidents of certain schools are and have been the problem. The presidents of most schools I suspect are demanding of compliance. How do they not go hard after the organization whose responsibility it is to provide oversight for where its priorities lie. The questions that I do not see asked and therefore not answered in this report are 1) How did the NCAA not recognize that athletic apparel companies sponsorship of tournaments for high school athletes who were clearly pledged to them not a sign of potential benefits going to the athletes especially when they were almost always ending up at their apparel sponsored schools? 2) When most of the top rated players started picking the same few schools why wasn't that sudden change that then continued year after year for those same schools worth investigating by the NCAA? 3) Why is it that most coachs who were losing recruits to schools that were paying for them knew what was going on but didn't file a complaint with the NCAA, was there a fear of retribution. 4) Why when the signs of massive corruption are everywhere did the NCAA spend so much of its limited investigative resources on so many minor suspected infractions? Finally how could the NCAA justify the penalties to Syracuse and Louisville as being a deterrent at all for future cheating by those schools? I would like to have seen a recommendation that the NCAA be required to issue a summary of all violations reported to them for all institutions for a moving 5 year period , its findings of facts and fault, the penalties issued and comparison of penalties to the severity of the finding and the justification for any significant difference of penalties for similar infractions.
