re: When will someone put the smackdown on the NCAA?

Since they are the governing body of college athletics I'm going to go ahead and say never.

The thing is the Universities can fix this tomorrow by basically shutting down the NCAA. The NCAA is the organization that governs college athletics, but it is funded by the Universities themselves. What has happened thru the years is that the NCAA believes that the schools work for them, when it is actually the other way around. What needs to happen is a group of schools need to come together and say enough is enough. Drop out of the NCAA, and it would only take a few power schools from power conferences and the whole thing would come down like a house of cards. Do this then start over from ground zero.
