If this means no more NCAA basketball tournament on CBS or college football on ABC/ESPN, then they are prepared to release them from their contracts and have nothing to do with college sports any longer.

CBS is sending a 60 minutes crew and ABC a crew from Nightline.

Both are expected to arrive at MIAMI UNIVERSITY IN OXFORD, OHIO by thursday of this week to begin the investigation.

So Mindy Mcready killed her dog before killing herself? What a bitch.

I think the dog was male, actually

You have no way of knowing, which is why it is a problem. Hypocritical. Would have slammed any coach caught using a burner.

Didn’t the NCAA just pull back it’s rulebook on player contact?

Rules were after this and have not gone into effect yet.

Perfectly good point. I’m making no value judgment on this situation myself, I’m only saying that a number of things when added together can form a picture a guilt, whether fairly or not. Just because people use perversions of Occam’s Razor, like the one you mentioned above, to enforce a rule though doesn’t make the preponderance of evidence wrong. It just means that people lose their objectivity when considering it.

That’s fine. It just seems like the preponderance of people who cover the NCAA are writing or have written the same story about this and no one has even considered the merit of the NCAA’s claims. Their minds are made up about the NCAA, therefore their objectivity is blown, and I don’t give a shit what they think, personally, so I can’t make my own mind up.

Wait wait wait….someone is paying for his hair to look like that?

Burner Phones:

So why is that a problem, exactly?

It could be either. But when there is a preponderance of evidence one way or the other logic insists that we not look at other evidence in isolation.

It reminds me of being in middle school when cell phones and pagers were banned because only drug dealers used pagers and cell phones.

Umm…What? The NCAA’s Corporate Operating Officer Jim Isch, No. 2 in command, approved the expenditure to Perez. The NCAA justified not punishing him by claiming “he did have a role in approving the Perez proposal, but he did not have responsibility for vetting its appropriateness.”

I didn’t read the report but how’s this for a scenario –

Mr. C.O.O., we need your signature on this 200 page expense report.
Mr. C.O.O says, “hurry up, I’ve got a zillion other things to do today” and signs the document.
