The NCAA accidentally leaked five years of financial statements online

Earlier this evening, a resourceful tipster alerted us to a thread on the message boards of Cats Illustrated, a popular Kentucky fan site. The NCAA had left its internal SharePoint site unprotected (for some time, apparently, as Google had already crawled and indexed its files), meaning any outsider could comb through its data, which included years of accounting statements, minutes and slideshows from plenty of meetings, and president Mark Emmert's resume. By the time the NCAA realized its mistake late Tuesday, and made all the files inaccessible, they had all been downloaded and passed along to us.
