After SMU - the NCAA lost their balls - took too much criticism. See PSU for proof (although PSU was not cheating to get players). Still they should have got the death penalty. I am convince SEC is a pay for play league - no way the balance of power shifts that far without some grease on the gears.
Yup. I was kind of coming to that conclusion too. I agree, I don't think Penn State should even have a football program anymore, too. And yeah, all of this is suggesting that either the NCAA lacks the ability to do proper investigations, or is willfully turning a blind eye to certain practices because the money in college football has skyrocketed over the last 10-15 years, so why stop the flow of money coming in?
If it turns out that we are going to just wind up with conferences that "attempt" to police themselves, then I am glad we are in the Big Ten. It's not perfect by any means, but it makes plenty of money for its members, its academics are second only to the Ivy League, and I think it has a lower tolerance for BS.
