Touching Stories from the Sports World

6
Vote

by user 4.17.141.2

Everyone knows about the Division III trackster who was banned from competing from the Nationals because his coach had filled out the form incorrectly. Another example of the NCAA bean counters being self-absorbed than sportsmen.

Last night at dinner I heard of a story about a high school phenom (woman) getting an athletic scholarship to an unnamed southern school. Apparently this didn't sit well with the incumbent locals, and a small stash of drugs mysteriously appeared in her locker, resulting in her expulsion. Despite her protests, she lost the appeal, and the status quo of damned Yankees remained.

Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose.

1. NCAA is a monster that must be taken on. They have gotten too big, too arrogant for their own good. Instead of forcing I-A schools into a football playoff, they go after a III track runner. The Dragon must be slayed. 2. You got to remember, there are some parts of the South that still believe the Civil War is not yet finish.. . .The South will rise again.

I really hate the NCAA and their ridiculousness. Miles Brand makes more money than most university presidents, yet Jeremy Bloom can't both ski and play NCAA football.

It is all about power with the NCAA. Has nothing to do with sports any more. It is a SPINO (Sports In Name Only) organization!
