What other scandals has the NCAA gotten a pass on? Corruption scandals with certain bowl games? Mass firings and financial penalties. Scandals involving athletes? Many people have been fired and many athletes suspended, as wel las greater punishments to schools, many of which amounted to multi-million dollar punishments.

Seriously, what scandals has the NCAA gotten a pass on?
I think it gets a pass on all of this, can you imagine any of this at a canadian college or in europe? in every other country in the world college sport is a tiny unimportant part of life overshadowed by the schools academic merit, except in the US where it is little more than a vast feeder system for the NBA and NFL.
