NCAA looks like they may have overplayed their hand. While I’ve been done with the NCAA for a while, this may truly be the beginning of the end.

    I’m not sure what the NCAA was thinking in general in this case. From what I’ve been able to dig up, we were following rules at the time and then rules changed (The main point seems to be whether or not we flew Nico to Knoxville via private jet). We apparently offered the NCAA come talk in December to make sure we were law abiding citizens and the NCAA declined. My honest guess is the NCAA thought that since we played along last time they came knocking that we’d do the same and they’d be able to set a precedent for them flexing their muscle. But they forgot that they actually have to have a reason to try and impose punishment. Like I said, I think this may be what ultimately begins the downfall of the NCAA as a governmental institution at least as how we recognize it today.
