"NCAA fails miserably, turns a blind eye to UNC's academic misdeeds"

You remember Connecticut, don't you? The Huskies are ineligible for the 2013 NCAA tournament because poor academic scores.

UConn athletic director Warde Manuel said he was not intimately familiar with the details of the UNC scandal, but that he found it "odd" the NCAA would punish Connecticut severely and not punish North Carolina at all. Manuel called it a "double standard."

The NCAA just made it clear: The Huskies should have cheated. UConn should have given all its players a phony A. Then the NCAA would say, "No violations here!" Instead, UConn was honest about its academic failures, and the NCAA banned the Huskies. Tell me again about those "life lessons" the NCAA wants to teach.

UConn could have just made up classes for their players and could have avoided their postseason ban? Something about that seems a little, well, you know.

Same as FSU, they ended up with a slap on the wrist, no postseason ban practically no consequences for widespread academic cheating.

Lets see, is the NCAA a joke, or, is the NCAA a joke???

I think the general consensus is:

THE NCAA is a MONSTROUS JOKE!!!
