I stopped reading after this sentence: Purportedly, they feel that those sports are causing serious academic harm to their players,

No reason to read something that stupid after that



Completely agree, the NCAA is being completely inconsistent in the application of the "rules," which surprises no one. At my college the women's and men's soccer teams, along with the golf and tennis teams were always lauded for their high academic performance. I moved to Florence and see that the FMU soccer players, men and women, have a high performance also.

The NCAA as an organization has one cash cow, the NCAA men's basketball tournament. It will not do anything to detract from it and that includes coming down on the worst performing academic programs, which, traditionally, have been football and men's basketball.
