Agree re corruption. Had the misfortune of interfacing with a particular NCAA football event where the suits main interests were doing deals with ticket touts, trying to squeeze money from every source... and making sure drug testers didnt show up at the event.I am on a Notre Dame forum and several of the posters think there is nothing wrong with any of this.
I ask them if keeping your word means anything and they all said no it does not unless it is in writing.
Then I ask what a letter of intent is and they shrug.
Not surprisingly, they all want Notre Dame to ease up on admissions and academics in order to win.
What we are seeing is not win at all costs; frankly the outcome of games no longer matters as much as how much money each program can rake in.
I hate it; but a lot of this can be laid at the door of the NCAA; one of the most incompetent and corrupt organizations ever.
NCAA can't do anything unless the players form a collective and agree to strict restrictions themselves which i don't see happening anytime soon.one thing I do think needs to be done is set a limit on how many can use the portal during a year unless there is a HC coaching change.
actually I think the NCAA can do it by a majority vote of its members.NCAA can't do anything unless the players form a collective and agree to strict restrictions themselves which i don't see happening anytime soon.
