Some folks are mad at the NCAA

So basically you are saying it's OK for players to go to the highest or the stealthiest bidder. Yea, let's just have professional football in college.

People also want to see a level playing field. That's why there are rules in place. If you don't enforce them, then things get out of hand and ruin the sport.

This. Nobody cares if guys get paid or get cars so long as everyone is allowed to offer the same thing.

Their fans are gonna pay a hefty price for the sins of the program in a couple of years and I hate it for them.

I don't hate it for them, if they get all 18 inches of NCAA dick up their arse, it's better than they deserve.

This is part of the reason people are lobbying to get rid of the ncaa. They are god, judge, and jury. They obviously are biased amd it pisses people off. You get different school around the country harassed by the NCAA for some dumb arse kid signing jerseys, and alabama kids are driving around in custom rims and new cars. Like wtf... NCAA is at a tipping point and they know it. Don't poke the bear too much.

Don't care who we lose to, a loss is a loss. I've witnessed a whole lot less of those than you, and every other team over the last few years has experienced. I don't dwell on the losses, because they have no bearing on the future. You beat us, good for you.........you will beat us again sometime in the future, maybe this year, it's still about the end of the year. I LOVE where my team has ended up 4 times in 7 years. You go buy your "We beat Bama" shirts, I buy my National Champion shirts and smile right there with ya.

There is nothing forcing your school to be a part of the NCAA. If you don't want to play by the rules than as a school they should leave.

Need to understand, too, that the NCAA isn't just some organization made up of suits with no affiliation to the schools they rule over. Rather the NCAA has a few suits at the top (Emmert and such) followed by representatives from all of the member schools that serve on different boards and committees. Also need to realize that the NCAA is currently under the most scrutiny and legal pressure that it has ever been. If they seem biased, it's largely for two reasons:

1. When they made rulings against Southern Cal, Bama, Auburn, FSU, etc. they did so in climates that were entirely different from what they currently are. Now, the NCAA not only has to uphold its rules but it has to also back up the arguments it makes in court lest they completely torpedo their own defense in these current cases and appeals.

2. Since the Committee on Infractions is made up of multiple representatives from different member schools (in addition to oversight by Emmert and Co), you've got to remember who the NCAA really serves. While they claim to be defending the interest of the student-athletes, really they are serving the Presidents of their member institutions. The notion of Amateurism not only saves Universities a ton of money, it makes them a ton of money. Anything that threatens that money-making ideal (especially in this day and age of big TV contracts which did not exist during cases like Miami, So Cal, etc) is going to be met with harsh retaliation.

I'd agree with those quotes. I DGAF how we do it, I'm just tired of seeing UK play shitty football.
