Couldn't agree with that more. The NCAA is a joke of an organization and if this is what it takes to bring about its demise then that's great. If a brilliant graduate student comes up with some sort of drug or invention or whatever that a huge multinational conglomerate is willing to pay him millions of dollars for the rights to, it's perfectly fine and does nothing to jeopardize his status as a student or his efforts at obtaining a degree. Dez Bryant get to have dinner with his childhood idol Deion Sanders, who insists on paying for it, and he is declared ineligible. Ohio State players barter for tattoos with trophies they earned through their play on the field, and they are declared ineligible. It's a ridiculous double standard. I especially find it inappropriate to hold some naive, impoverished 21 year old to a higher standard of ethics than a grown man who is doing everything in his power to take advantage of the 21 year old's ignorance and poverty.

Miami seems to have done alot worse things, and hardly any punishment. Ohio St lied to the NCAA from the players to the President, and they allowed the guilty players to play a Bowl game. If Bama suffers severe sanctions, after a proper investigation is done, I will be surprised and just a little more than pissed.

If any major punishments happen, the death of the NCAA will surely be on the way. More and more high powered schools are realizing, they don't need the NCAA and it's lower level schools that have as much power.
