Hopefully one for Akron.

I saw we recently announced a new sponsor, but if didn’t appear to be for the jersey patch. Good to see we are bringing more in regardless.

Detroit Mercy hit with a postseason ban for APR violations.

 

Screw the NCAA.

But, but, but academics are the most important thing in college sports.

If the NCAA actually believed that, they'd create a system that promotes academics over $$$ and they'd actually investigate the P4s.

I think you guys give the NCAA more credit than they deserve. They only exist because the P4 allows them to. The courts stripped away much of their power and the little power they do still have the P4 holds them as a hostage at gunpoint.

 

Case in point, who wanted the expanded tournament? It was the P4 schools so they could get more 18-15 into the tournament and take more NCAA credits from mid-majors. Not to mention allows them to avoid more costly coaching fires since select P4 programs are content just making the tournament. 

 

The second the NCAA doesn't comply the P4+ will just pull out and start their own league. They're the real ones calling the shots. The NCAA is just the fall guy that conferences can point their fingers at to deflect the blame. Their version of Roger Goodell

Nobody is giving the NCAA credit - that's the point. They are a spineless group of suits that lack any sort of moral compass.

Jerry Tarkanian said it best.

 

“The NCAA was so mad at Kentucky they gave Cleveland State two more years of probation.”

One of the replies on X said, "Detroit Mercy gets punished for Michigan's violations."

Same sort of thing.
