It's coming soon.

There was a time a few years ago when I was resistant to the notion that the  P5 should break away from the NCAA.  I didn't want collegiate athletics to change, for players to be paid, etc.  I wanted the pure amateur ideal of what the NCAA allegedly is supposed to stand for.  But then I slowly came to realize that the NCAA is big business, and that the "ideal" I was clinging to was from the 1980s, when I was a kid.

Today's NCAA is borderline corrupt.

Mark Emmert has run what was already a floundering organization into the ground.

They are a joke of an enforcement organization / regulatory body.

Their rules are over-architected, unnecessarily complex, and antiquated.

They situationally choose who to enforce the rules against, while complicitly looking the other way while some institutions repeatedly and flagrantly break the rules.

They are the epitome of hypocrisy.

And in the rare instance when they DO enforce the rules, the penalties they hand down are capricious, arbitrary, and lack any connection to precedence.

These days, I look forward to when the NCAA's hypocrisy perishes in flames. I know we need some kind of governing system / body in place to level the playing field, but the NCAA has proven repeatedly that they aren't up to the task.
