Crime pays for NCAA

Permit me (Phil Mushnick) to repeat what I’ve been writing for years: Racketeering indictments against Division I university authorities for allowing their schools to serve as fronts for crooked sports programs could not be successfully defended before an objective jury.

The only difference between many D-I football and basketball programs and organized crime is mascots.

You can now take your pick: Sexual assault cover-ups, financial fraud cover-ups, academic fraud cover-ups, drug-testing fraud cover-ups, sneaker company payola cover-ups, “hooked up” adult criminals recruiting vulnerable young criminals.

TV calls these “distractions.”

The NCAA is not only overmatched to meet such things, its investigators are hired at increased pay by schools to serve as rules loophole specialists. Telling, no?

It’s no accident the extensive September arrests of college basketball coaches/recruiters for pocketing Adidas influence cash was the work of the FBI, not the NCAA.

As for priorities, the school’s highest-paid — often by millions — employees are coaches, often with fat bonuses for winning. Compromise is virtually guaranteed; fraud a small step beyond.

This Michigan State horror? Of course, our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims. Now back to the game.
 
Everybody seems to be casting this MSU thing as compromising integrity for athletic advantage, but I'm not really seeing it. How important to on the field success is any one particular doctor, really?

Seems like we're just dealing with shit people, to me.

Especially when the one particular doctor's method of treatment might be considered less than therapeutic at the very least.
 
So is it ok to mention the Penn state pedobears again?
Yes. We assumed rot (win at all costs) at the top, (but PSU was a shocking level of rot). MSU shows the rot goes down to the bottom. Its all shocking rot, and it should be eliminated.
 
I don't really see how the MSU thing has anything to do with the NCAA. Why would we want the NCAA to serve enforcers of sexual assault law? I don't want university administrators doing it either. We have a large and robust system dedicated to this already.

Honestly, I'm not clear on why we don't think the victims had a responsibility to report the crime to the police? (This is a genuine question.) It is kinda weird that the crimes are so terrible – and they are – that it means the traumatized victims are *less* responsible for reporting them. I say that not because I want to blame the victims, but because if they're not to blame, then I'm not sure anyone is. I suspect every time an administrator hears 'he's kinda forward with the girls' (or however the rumors made it up the line) there's another voice that says 'he's doing a great with the girls.' The people with direct evidence of the crime are really the people who need to report it to the police.

PS. Anyone got a link to a summary of what he actually did?

From my understanding, while his sports medicine clinic was located on the MSU campus, the girls he was charged with molesting there were between 13 and 16 years old at the time. This is separate from the USA gymnastics thing, which is an even bigger story. I can't really find a link that explains the whole thing, hopefully someone else can, but basically he molested every girl ever (hundreds, I think) and had tons of child porn. Also, I'm pretty sure there were more than just vague rumors about him going around, but again, I don't have a link at present.

Let's be realistic though, who thinks two in the pink and one in the stink is how doctors diagnose a knee injury?

The Dr. is in.
 
The same idiots saying the NCAA should do something about sexual abuse are also the ones decrying the Title IX kangaroo courts investigating sexual assault by students.

Is that true? I was under the impression the sympathies were reversed from your sense of it.

I am sure this is just the latest "declare ourselves victims, sue everyone remotely connected" episode by your chosen profession.
 
CFB should withdraw from the NCAA completely. We don't need them and they are nothing more than a criminal enterprise.

You mean cheating could be more efficient without the NCAA requesting their cut from the coffers?
