Miss. State Basketball in NCAA Trouble?

Date: Dec 18, 2005

"The NCAA does not always share the scope of the inquiry with schools."

And therein, my fine feathered friends, is but one of the problems with the NCAA. It's like facing an accuser without knowing the charges.

No one is compelled to belong to the NCAA. If you don't like its policies you can start an athletic alliance with due process at every level. Perhaps the " National Liberals Athletic Association".

Actually, the NCAA behaves just like a bunch of liberals already. It supports socialism by limiting the number of scholarships in sports so that small schools have a "fair chance" instead of allowing a free market to reign. The NCAA takes the posture that it knows best what is good for everyone, and that there is no real room for deviation, much like liberals who want to tax and spend because individuals do not know how to use their income properly. Take the Native American mascot fiasco earlier this year...the NCAA didn't seem to know that Florida State University has had the blessing of the Seminole Nation for many years. Policy without information. Judgment without process. Let your heart (not your head) be your guide.

If the university presidents who represent the money makers in the NCAA would speak out, they could cut the rent-seekers (like USM) out of the loop and watch as the smaller athletic programs die on the vine. USM athletics would be a good D-II program, and USM academics would be better off for it. Smaller, but better off.

Just who makes up the NCAA. I know the university presidents belong, but who makes up these day-to-day decisions?

If it's due process you despise, you'll love it here on the plantation.
