This is an article from an ESPN affiliate in Kansas City
It shows that finally someone does see the NCAA bias and calls them out...
"Not much has been said because it is another day, another white-collar crime committed within the walls of one of the NCAA’s elite.
Kansas is an untouchable, just like Indiana, where the school unbelievably has been allowed to paint itself the victim for allowing ex-head coach Kelvin Sampson to be employed there.
KU is untouchable like Kentucky, which it proved in the 1980s (with the Chris Mills recruiting scandal) and again in 2007 when the school’s boosters were allowed to strong-arm Tubby Smith out the door in a blatant case of Smith not fitting the Adolph Rupp Kentucky profile.
The NCAA has proven to hammer coaches it doesn’t like and less-major and mid-major schools to make an example of them.
And the elites continue to slide through.
It was only April of 2006 that the NCAA found Kansas guilty of “lack of institutional control” in three of its sports (both basketball programs and football). In its investigation that led to the judgment, the NCAA also uncovered that former Jayhawk Darnell Jackson had received thousands of dollars in gifts and cash from a KU booster who lived in Oklahoma City – the same as Jackson.
Jackson was suspended for nine games…and the Kansas flag flew higher.
To say Kansas University athletic director Lew Perkins has deftly maneuvered through the allegations to keep his ship upright is like saying the Titanic just swiped the iceberg.
He is doing his job – as have the other elites when duty calls – and the NCAA is fine with that.
NCAA favoritism will continue as long as the elites keep their incidents white-collar.
These are only a few excerpts, the rest of the article is here.......
