Two further reasons we need the death of the NCAA...

First, does anyone still think we need to have the Northwestern athletic program still in existence?

Hazing allegations have gotten both the football and baseball coaches fired.  One can only wonder who is next...

Second, the NCAA just dinged Tennessee.

18 Level I violations, and over TWO HUNDRED total violations from 2018 to 2020 under old coach Jeremy Pruitt.

The penalties include:

  • Pruitt, who is out of coaching and went to the NFL afterward, is banned from coaching for at least one year.
  • Show-causes for Pruitt (six years) and three assistants (not reported).
  • Though Tennessee avoids a bowl ban (snork), Tennessee was fined $8,000,000 to essentially nullify any and all financial benefit from SEC bowls for the next two years.
The NCAA has tried not to punish uninvolved players, but what do you do when the entire program is hopelessly dirty?

Get out of the sanctioning business, NCAA.  You have nothing left to offer.
