A story that escaped me was the Ap 18th announcement that the NCAA has flexed its muscle by placing heavyweight Cal Poly on two (2) years probation for providing its student athletes an average of $174 in additional aid to purchase text books after the NCAA has turned a blind eye on the no show classes at North Carolina, the recruiting allegations by Arizona, and other - other reported transgressions by NCAA darling schools..

IMO the NCAA is a shame entity that selectively enforces rules largely intended to protect the colleges and the grey haired administrators but not the student athletes. Note that in its press release the NCAA stated that the whopping $174 overpayments were an error yet still whacked Cal Poly while overlooking the seemingly intentional acts by NCAA Blue-bloods. Rah- Rha- Ra !!

Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the Cal Poly story as reported by ESPN:
————

The NCAA has placed Cal Poly on two years of probation and will force the school to vacate regular season and conference tournament records in "most of its sports programs" after an investigation concluded the school did not properly monitor its book scholarship program.

In a 21-page report released Thursday, the NCAA said Cal Poly provided cash stipends of $800, intended for books and academic supplies, to 265 student-athletes between 2012 and 2015 that did not equal the cost of the items. The investigation determined these cash stipends resulted in 30 student-athletes exceeding their financial aid limits by an average of $174.57.

....... In a news release, the NCAA said Cal Poly mistakenly treated the book stipends "in the same manner as room and board stipends," and that the organization will require the school to vacate all regular season and conference tournament records and participation in which ineligible student-athletes competed. If any student-athletes deemed ineligible competed in the postseason, Cal Poly's participation in the postseason will also be vacated.

Thanks for sharing, good example. Anyone who thinks the NCAA and over simplistically, the P5 conferences, are not in bed to exploit young athletes for $ ought to have their head examined. If LSU can pay Naz Reid 300k for one season, imagine the ROI their bean counters came up with, whether it be in actual $’s or alumni access to whatever, etc. BTW, thinly veiled joke in Jersey was that LSU seriously overpaid.
 
Imagine those SOB’s at Cal Poly needing an extra $174 for textbooks! I say the death penalty for this institution. What do they think this is a college or something? :whistle:
 
The NCAA has a history of pounding on small schools and not taking enough of a hard line on big schools in general IMO

NCAA is one of the most corrupt institutions in America. Schools should dissociate with the NCAA and band together and form an alternative.

Coach K once suggested that the NCAA hire a "czar" to run men's college hoops
