After last Summer's dog and pony show, it seemed the NCAA fooled many sportswriters. Then the NCAA announced its decision on the Ohio State case, that amounts to a slap on the hand, when compared to what they did to USC. We're talking about a case which involved boosters, a lying head coach, a confused athletic director who publicly made presumptuous statements that were later contradicted, and 400+ secondary violations over the last decade.
All that at Ohio State, versus one football player at USC whose family received benefits - by way of free rent - from an agent - not a booster - and an athletic director who was combative with the NCAA.
The complaint here, is that if they threw a 200 page book at USC, they should have leveled Ohio State with a 300 page book, at least. Instead, tOSU received a 100 page book thrown towards them, but mostly missed the target.
So I give you this, as a tribute to the NCAA's ripe hypocrisy:
