While I don't believe much will come of this I fully support it. I think these schools need to have a sense of repercussions instilled in them. It's not enough to fire a coach, we need to hit them where it hurts.
The wealthy private universities are among the most powerful and least regulated institutions in the country and its high time we treated them as such.
- criddell 8y agoFor private universities, I think you are going to run up against first amendment problems.
- ChrisBland 8y agoAs long as they take federal grants/loans the dept of education will have a sit down with them. The interesting point will be if the NCAA steps in or not as this was an abuse of the student athlete admission procedures. To me this screams a lack of institutional control; if coaches are being bribed and faking credentials and the school never picks up on it it looks bad. That could be a punishment of loss of scholarships or up to the famous death penalty. I’d imagine the ncaa will try to sidestep this issue as much as possible as USC and Texas are football schools and it would cripple the university. For those interested in learning more about college athletics, the ncaa clearing house and what not, I’d highly recommend the book: “Beer & Circus”. There’s a lot you don’t know about the ncaa and sports at large universities.
