Message: [QUOTE="dogged1, post: 2372731, member: 7301"] The NCAA should not have intervened in the Sandusky/Penn State scandal. That was a criminal felony and was a matter for the police and a court of law. If the Penn State administration was passively or actively involved that too is for the courts. But the core mission of the NCAA is to promote college athletes, and their most important role in doing that is to make and enforce the rules that create a level playing field for all member institutions. For nearly 20 years UNC broke faith with every other (non cheating) member by giving their student athletes an advantage. And they did on an institutional level. They conspired to create fake classes, and they carefully crafted a defense by allowing a few non athletes to attend the bogus courses. Clearly they knew what they were doing was wrong and just as clearly they set up a defense for when/if they got caught. Doesn't this offend you? [/QUOTE]
