A nuanced question about the NCAA sanctions…
Does anyone else find a disturbing similarity between the problems that led to the sanctions (in many ways, keeping their fingers in their ears and saying “This didn’t happen!”) and the NCAA saying “Those 14 years of wins didn’t happen.”?
That being said, I am torn between the NCAA sanctions punishing folks who are not guilty, and feeling that they do nothing to punish anyone except the “institution” less than it deserves.
And here I go, with my first post about sports that doesn’t involve golf clubs.
