A) If you want to play in the NCAA, you have to play by their rules.

B) If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

This is childish and would only make sense if "the time" wasn't disparate or the "crimes" arbitrarily enforced or the rules disproportionately applied.

Or even better, ex post facto laws/rules like the NCAA created for USC...which in your dopey real world criminal sing-song slogan are illegal.

Why don't you go tell black people in the South who lived through the 60's that if they wanted to eat in a restaurant in Alabama they had to play by their rules.

The University of Southern California and all other universities across this country don't fork over their due process rights because they happen to play sports...just like you don't waive your fourth amendment right to privacy when you buy an airplane ticket...but I guess you suppose that you should.

The NCAA isn't God...they are just a bunch of stuffed shirts like the good folks at Enron - failing miserably in their oversight duties and reform is needed like in any business.

You're wasting your time posting this Trojan Ace; most CFB fans here think in petty terms of program vs. program...and giggle gleefully when the Spanish Inquisition comes calling. They don't want to admit the NCAA has major oversight issues because they've bowed down to this fraud for years.

I think that their focus is on HOW the rules are enforced, not the rules themselves.

For example, if the NCAA were to say, "This action receives that punishment. PERIOD." I don't think that anyone would have a problem. The problem comes when the NCAA levies different punishments to different schools for the same infraction.

How would you feel if holding was a 15 yard penalty if you school did it, but was only a 5 yard penalty if someone else did it? Or if another school got 5 yards for a personal foul and you got 15 yards for a false start?
