More on the USC case and the bias of the NCAA

Dennis Dodd writes a solid article based on some further info in the USC case

The NCAA has to tread carefully now or it will be in a world of hurt. If this guy wins this case an aggressive judge could really hammer them with punitive damages.It bodes well for UM

The NCAA always drops the hammer on private schools. They make no bones about it and don't even try to hide it. Reggie's family gets $250k and they drop the hammer. Cam Newton's family get $250k and the NCAA swept the BS under the rug while setting new precedent to be able to cheat in the $EC.

Miami will be the next private school the NCAA drops the hammer on. Fortunately for Miami they have self imposed and cooperated fully.

Still waiting to hear what's up with Oregon and Chip Kelly paying a street agent...that seems to have gone away pretty quickly.

In the very least, this shows the NCAA as an inconsistent, unregulated organization run by rogue individuals with axes to grind and personal agendas that pick and choose when and with whom to enforce their rules.

These personal comments on the emails completely destroy the NCAA 's mirage of neutrality.

Give me a break! Bama got a slap on the wrist. SMU, Miami, and USC have been HAMMERED!!!

FSwho was apart of the largest academic cheating scandal ever. Received a slap on the wrist. And isn't college all about academics?

Different times nowadays. The $EC has a mystique about them today that makes them seem untouchable. Money is power!

This development may make it more difficult for the NCAA to play the game of "if you don't speak, we'll believe Shapiro" with the former players. The publicly-available information, at least, suggests inconsistencies in Shapiro's story that the NCAA would have to take into account in assessing Shapiro's credibility (let alone considering his criminal conduct and his motive in coming to the NCAA in the first place). Given what's in the linked story, I'd be more careful than is suggested in the letter from the NCAA person anyway.
