MS State football and basketball on three years probation

How is it the NCAA's business if MSU has tutors doing work for players but none the of the NCAA's business for nearly two decades of UNC-Cheating Hill doing that and more?
 
Yeah, I agree that it's a sham that MSU gets punished while UNC got nothing.

10 football players & 1 basketball player at MSU.

Seems worse when it is an issue with the entire institution and not just a handful of players paying a tutor.

It's not like the lead tutor at UNC was granted federal whistleblower status or got a high seven figure settlement for her case.

OOOPS, she did...
 
The NCAA's twisted explanation on how UNC escaped Scot-free can never be logically justified. For 18+ years, UNC had a system in place offering bogus classes and fake grades for work that was never performed. Yet, the fraudulent "African and Afro-American Studies Program" didn't constitute "an impermissible benefit" for athletes because the NCAA couldn't determine if only UNC athletes had received fraudulent grades for doing nothing. Essentially because UNC's academic fraud was so big, so extensive and so pervasive, the NCAA decided not to punish them, but if one tutor goes off-track on behalf of an athlete, then the NCAA can dole out probation... if you are a run of the mill NCAA institution and not a storied program.

The NCAA's handling of the UNC scandal was the final nail in the coffin of what those that follow college sports already knew: college sports are slanted to protect the mega-programs, everyone else is supposed to just shut-up and be happy with the status quo.

Will the NCAA do anything ? Naahhhhhhhhhhh !!!
 
MSU athletic director John Cohen said it was "unfortunate" that the 11 student athletes were led "astray" by the former tutor given that they go through "year-round" compliance training to prevent these types of scandals.

What utter bullshit.
 
Some of the penalties:

A disassociation of the former tutor.

All involved student-athletes must conduct one rules education session on the consequences of academic misconduct.

Participation in the National Association of Academic and Student-Athlete Development Professionals program review and Academic Integrity Assessment process.

A 10-year show-cause order for the former tutor. During that period, any NCAA member school employing her must restrict her from any athletically related duties unless it shows cause why the restrictions should not apply.

Those are some of the penalties.

The penalties to the programs and three years probation are really pretty significant.

After the UNC debacle, the NCAA owes UGa and Jim Harrick an apology....and lost tournament revenue
https://www.nytimes.com/2003/03/11/...ds-harrick-and-withdraws-from-postseason.html

No. 21 Georgia (19-8) suspended Harrick with pay and declared two starters academically ineligible after university officials discovered evidence that the players, Chris Daniels and Rashad Wright, did not regularly attend a class in which they both received A's. Jim Harrick Jr., who was suspended without pay 10 days ago, taught the class, ''Coaching Principles and Strategies of Basketball.'' All 31 students in the class received A's; 10 of them were athletes.

Clearly the NCAA concerned itself over "academic matters" in 2003 - even for classes that contained regular students.
