That's like the Philly Mob telling the FBI that the Jersey Mob needs to be watched.

I think too often that the public equates the NCAA to the FBI.

The FBI is a federal law enforcement agency staffed by professionals with tremendous resources and expertise operating under the US laws.

The NCAA is a bunch of semi-pros attempting to investigate things professionally but operating under a set of rules that no one really seems to understand and that appear to be unevenly applied.

SU gets slammed for a 10-page paper written by an admin aide and UNC can offer entire no-work courses that a lot of athletes took advantage of and this is not a violation of NCAA rules.

It's crazy!

In what Bizarro World does the NCAA have to be told that a basketball program operating in LAS VEGAS (!) run by TARKANIAN (!) needs to be watched.????!

(Sputtering with outrage) I mean the whole freaking State has one principle product ... GAMBLING. For years the Casinos were connected to the Mafia.

In the movie Casablanca it's suggested to the Chief of Police that there just might be some illicit games of chance being played in some of the joints. His (famous) response was, "What? Gambling in Casablanca? I'm shocked!"

I you have never seen the clip it must be on YouTube somewhere. (I think the actor's name was Claude Raines.) Everybody should watch it at least once.
