NCAA Investigator Questions the NCAA

"This was good, investigative work,'' he said.

Ummm...If that doesn't scream " we need oversight because we don't know our bounds" then nothing ever will.
 
Another gem:

"Even in the Miami case, this wasn't a solitary issue,'' he said.

So Elena isn't the only person involved in obtaining illegal information?

Seriously the NCAA is a giant pile of ****.

Cant see the forest for the trees...there is a reason this person's an investigator and not the person in charge.
 
To end the reign of the NCAA? Not good job security for Emmert, but I like the idea of the NCAA being ended or severely punished.
 
This NCAA investigator, who demanded anonymity, raised a different angle to that issue. It broke no law, he said. It didn't involve a twisted ethical question, he said...

When asked if there was an ethical question in an attorney using legal means to depose someone the NCAA otherwise couldn't, the investigator was certain.

"This was good, investigative work,'' he said.

The investigator then listed similar officials the NCAA has worked with through the years to gather evidence against schools or individuals: U.S. Attorney offices, private investigators, former FBI agents and various lawyers.

If this is how it is seen from the inside, what is the big issue then? Is it the misuse of bankruptcy proceedings?

Because it seems the using MEP as a tool was no problem and pretty run of the mill stuff.

It would seem this may be the first time they ever managed to get caught in the act. Emmert knew all along that they were doing shady ****, but it wasn't until UM played their hand and said it wasn't going to fly that they knew, that we knew. Once they knew they that we knew, it wasn't safe to play it anymore. Emmert denies any knowledge of it, because lets face it, it's shady, unethical, and potentially illegal. Using the power of subpoena in non-legal matters, obtained under some other guise? It's got bull**** written all over it. By Emmert claiming he knew nothing of it and they don't do business that way, he's able to keep his job or at least save face and given the opportunity to "investigate" the situation and make some simple changes be it to policy or personnel so the public thinks "oh that problem is solved, lets go back to hating Miami now."
 
This suggests that perhaps there is something else there...more nefarious and they are using this as a cover...or distraction. You will note Perez said shethought they wrwere trying to intentionally botch it for some reason..she speculated monetary.

There is something else there...something big.....it just doesn't add up.
 
seems to me that this investigator is basically saying this has always been our M.O. and I have no idea why Emmert is scheduling press conferences to talk about "stunning" events that have come to light. I'm thinking UM may have finally been the school to bust the NCAA and grab them by the balls with their unscrupulous means of acquiring evidence and basically forced Emmert's preemptive hand. This case really may be the beginning of the end of the NCAA as we've known it....

Bravo, chap.
 
The NCAA sat in on Levinson's deposition too. That one wasn't conducted by Perez. Sounds like someone should look into whether the NCAA also has an improper relationship with the Freeman/Tabas firm (representing the investors in Shapiro's businesses).

The fact that the investigator says Perez was only paid for photocopies is a lie. Perez in her own dumb admission said in the Sun Sentinel

"At the end of the day, that does not establish an attorney-client relationship between me and the NCAA,” said Perez, who did not explain what she was exactly paid for. “It establishes that they wanted to pay for certain things to help Shapiro where there were issues of common interest. Period. There’s nothing wrong with that. They didn’t pay me to get testimony. They didn’t pay me to get a story. There’s a huge difference.”"

If I were you Dave I would investigate the person you interviewed and expose him as either being ignorant or a corrupt shill employed by the NCAA to minimize their actions in public opinion. Like all coverups this will eventually be exposed and either Mr Emmert will come out as horribly out of touch or corrupt. He needs to be fired .

The investigator interviewed clearly shows the thinking of a corrupt organization. In the cases in which NCAA investigators have been at prior depositions the NCAA was not involved in the composition of the questions and did not mislead the deposed into thinking he was simply being asked questions in a federal bankruptcy case.There was active collusion here and theats why Najjar was fired. If this is an active investigator Hyde interviewed he should be fired on the spot. He needs to get this in his corrupt little legal mind. The NCAA is not allowed to compel testimony . It cannot ask questions under oath . It cannot hijack a federal investigation . This isnt the status quo. Many lawyers develop a utilitarian amoral approach to the law. Its become fairly clear that the majority of the lawyers working for the NCAA arent up to snuff(e.g. Molly Richman)

WIth the fact that the NCAA has co-opted a federal investigation and with the fact that Shalala has deep connections in Washington I think the UM has massive leverage here not only from her federal connections but also private and UM lawyers that I am sure are preparing an onslaught of attacks on the NCAA' ethics and veracity.
 
Love the fact an investigator who actually worked on the case doesn't think his or her crew of miscreants did anything wrong. Perfect. Emmert will love reading this article over his coffee tomorrow.
 
Let me put this in Laymans terms. The NCAA is in full on damage control trying to salvage whatever miniscule reputation they have left and will deny, deny, deny until the very end. They will tell us how they are above the law and this normal practice takes place in all investigations. Most imbeciles will drool on themselves and then proceed to say okay and go along with their BS. This is how monopolys/dictatorships operate.

These frauds will do or say anything they can to maintain power and control to ensure the money keeps rolling in. Let's continue to watch the BS "legal" process at work.

It's amazing how this NCAA scandal mirrors our corrupt out of control government. This is nothing more than an executive order "abuse or usurpation of power" in action by a monopoly / dictatorship front and center. Can't wait until we hear how the NCAA is "too big to fail" which in essence means we're all stuck with this BS and will pay regardless...
