[QUOTE="Calvin, post: 1392490, member: 4069"] I really should read the full report before commenting, but the portions I've scanned make me realize what a joke this report is, so I'm not inclined to bother. I see some people supporting this pile of poo to varying degrees, and I can't tell you what a crock of horse!@#$ it is. I also heard an interview of the ND president on the radio last night, and he side-stepped everything to do with how the system was built to be corrupt, and based on the untenable formula of $billions in revenue with free labor. He also couldn't acknowledge the awful past, and ever increasing breadth and depth of scandals. Finally, he was completely sold on the solution being more of the same, with some added tweaks. Do you really think the NCAA can control the AAU market? The whole idea of sanctioning events is yet another money grab. And saying they don't need to change, but the NBA does? What a laugh that is. I could go on, but clearly there's no point. The NCAA wants to squeeze more money out of the system, not less, and they want to take it from whoever they can. There is less than zero willpower for foregoing the rules that invite corruption. Indeed, they will apply even more in the name of fixing the mess they've created, with the intention of making more. That's the NCAA for ya. [/QUOTE]
