Wetzel says:
Every NCAA scandal is blamed on one of three characters: 1. the greedy kid and/or his family, 2. the dirty agent, 3. the bumbling assistant coach. Over and over and over. Decade after decade. They know the fans will buy it every time.
Meanwhile they keep building fancier offices for the athletic directors.
Am I to understand from this story that this should be blamed on the ADs, Conference commissioners, and the NCAA, and that the people he lists above are innocent?
So the Newtons got $200,000, the agent will get 10% of Cam's NFL contract, and Trooper Taylor's annual salary is listed at $325,000, before his cut of any 'donations' to churches he arranges... But Wetzel feels sorry for them because they're just pawns in this scheme that the NCAA powerbrokers cooked up... I see.
Give me a f'ing break.
