Good point. If this happened at Georgetown it would be bigger news. . .

It's not bigger news because most big-time athletic programs - and, for that matter, most small-time programs as well - have similar skeletons in their closet. It's in no one's interest to start casting stones when the NCAA is one big Castle of Glass. Rebecca Schulman at Slate has an interesting 'modest proposal' to address this dynamic that's actually quite sensible, in my opinion: www.slate.com/articles/life/education/2014/01/mary_willingham_north_carolina_scandal_use_unemployed_ph_d_s_to_teach_athletes.htmlThe fatal flaw with it is that it effectively requires universities to confess that they admit scores of players each year who, academically speaking, belong in middle school (or lower!), rather than a college classroom. That's not exactly something they're in a hurry to admit. |

If you are going to lie, lie big. The consequences seem to diminish as the transgressions grow.

We got pretty lucky with the surprise Josh Smith qualification this year. Nothing to see here. Move on dot now.

Wait, when you say Moses was suspended another game, are you referring to Nova, or do you mean in addition to Nova?

I haven't read all the Moses speculation yet, but has anyone proposed that this new Moses information came about as some kind of punishment from NCAA re: Josh? Like "we stuck out our necks for you guys for Josh, and you made us look like a-holes. This is what happens when you make us look stupid."
