The NCAA needs to step up enforcement, because right now they look like more of a joke than I can ever remember. Making five Ohio State players sit out 6 games, but not until next year and allowing them to play in their bowl game ($$$) – oh, and by the way a number of those five could very well leave early for the NFL? Allowing Cam Newton to stay eligible despite the evidence that his dad was shopping his services?

And now we hear that Terrelle Pryor was pulled over not once, not twice, but three times while driving cars owned by a particular car salesman/car lot, and yet an internal Ohio State investigation claims there was no wrong-doing? Yeah, right – I’d love to see that report and how they justify that one. This is the same Ohio State which got away with slaps on the wrist at the beginning of the decade for a number of questionable issues.

Meanwhile USC gets hammered for a situation where wannabe agents (not boosters, not coaches) were paying Reggie Bush. Can anyone explain to me how what happened there was so bad to justify the severe sanctions they got, but schools like Ohio State skate by with a tap on the wrist?

It’s time for Mark Emmert to step up and put some teeth into the NCAA, because right now it looks capricious and corrupt in their selective enforcement of rules. And if Emmert can’t change things, time to seriously look at a fundamental overhaul of college athletics…
