MLB 51 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 This is the problem with the NCAA. We get put on probation over some book's and Auburn get's nothing for the Cam Newton bullcrap. WOW!!! Quote Link to comment
Nexus Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 NY Times columnist dumbfounded by textbooks violation. The two documents the N.C.A.A. issued about the University of Nebraska case are priceless. The first is a press release, which includes an amazing little sidebar. After outlining the violations and the punishment (including “public reprimand and censure!”), it adds a side note that reads, in part, “N.C.A.A. President Mark Emmert and members have recognized that numerous rules, such as those stating athletic scholarships can be used to purchase mandatory but not ‘recommended’ textbooks, are overly prescriptive and do not support our values.” In other words, the rule is so idiotic that even the N.C.A.A. can’t defend it. In that same side note, the N.C.A.A. says that it is in the process of rewriting its rule book. Can’t wait to see the results. The second document is the 10-page “Infractions Report.” It is worth a read to give you the full flavor of an N.C.A.A. proceeding. Filled with phrases like “legislation,” “summary disposition process” and “findings,” it is a parody of a judicial ruling. Which makes sense, since N.C.A.A. investigations are themselves parodies—bad ones—of the judicial process. Continue Reading Quote Link to comment
Omaha-Husker Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 It seriously is a joke. Giving our student athletes more opportunities as students. What a sinister crime . Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 No, it's giving student-athletes improper benefits. Quote Link to comment
huskerjack23 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I think I'd be more angry about the nutrition program that student athletes get over regular students, if that is the logic that it's improper. Quote Link to comment
Excel Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 On a serious note... what happened here and why was it inproper? When I was in school I had a part of a scholarship that included a book gratuity... it never ended up being spent on books but that's beside the point. Don't athletic scholarships fund books? If they don't they should Quote Link to comment
flatwaterfan Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I thought I read somewhere this was self-reported and that these are penalties that Nebraska proposed. I would think the NCAA would reflect positively on the institutional control that Nebraska displayed vs some other institutions in the cesspool conference known as the $EC. Quote Link to comment

If they don't they should The problem is that they fund required books but not suggested other books. The bookstore was also giving them the optional books which is a violation (apparently).
