"Big-time college sports are a sewer, due to a culture nurtured by the NCAA,
which has refused to drop a real hammer on any marquee program for 25 years.
During his presser, Emmert actually said this: "Football will never again be placed
ahead of educating, nurturing and protecting young people." I don't believe him
for a nanosecond. If he really wants to clean up the culture, the sanctions
forced on Penn State in this case will be the minimum placed on every program
where the culture is out of whack -- which is to say, just about every one.
Rampant cheating exists because there is no real penalty for breaking the rules.
Money trumps values and righteousness every time. Nothing has changed here.
Nothing. But the NCAA brass can go about thumping their chests and proclaiming
they stood up for goodness and virtue. Gag me."
