“The ACC requires a 2.0 to be academically eligible.”

Where did you get this from? This isn’t true and I’ve confirmed with 2 different people that the ACC does not have a conference minimum GPA requirement.

Interesting.

Penn State athletics belongs to the NCAA. To say they had no jurisdiction is going too far. They had no precedent.

There was a murder or 2 in NYC this weekend. NYC belongs to the United States of America. The government of the United States of America has no jurisdiction in prosecuting any of those murders.

The NCAA is a fraudulent organization

That makes it an excellent umbrella organization for nearly every Division I athletic program.

To me, it didn’t matter what the Freeh Report said because the NCAA had no jurisdiction to level any punishment.

remember how with the USC business they really didn’t get involved until Yahoo forced their hand and the sanctions came down

True. But Yahoo isn’t on this, either. This was a systemic cheating scandal and no one gives a fuck.

I don’t follow your rage here, you think the Freeh report wasn’t expansive enough and shouldn’t have been used to tear down PSU…but doesn’t it stand to reason that if it was more expansive and they did reveal the coverup was larger and involved more PSU people that the penalties would be completely just?

I’m not angry at all, just pointing out the hypocrisy. The Freeh Report was commissioned by PSU to improve their own internal practices. It was never intended to be used to determine NCAA punishment. To me, it didn’t matter what the Freeh Report said because the NCAA had no jurisdiction to level any punishment.

This isn’t a bigger story because no one cares about academic cheating.

Because there is no assistant coach raping kids and little pageviews in academic scandals.

Because there is no iconic coach to tear down and little pageviews in academic scandals.

Actually I would say it’s because the media is reluctant to cover the story of the academic fraud perpetuated by an institution that they have trumpeted for decades as one that does things the right way.

That’s why I love the Works Cited feature on Word. I throw the citations in as I go along and then ask it to populate a Words Cited section and under what format and done.

2) Why isn’t this bigger news?

That’s pretty fucking ridiculous. Mark Emmert is officially Myles Brand 2.0. This seems to be precisely an issue which the NCAA exists to administer ignore and regulate whistle past the graveyard.

Fixed.

2) Why isn’t this bigger news?

Because apparently academically ineligible players who still play and academic fraud aren’t important issues to the NCAA.
