I obviously look at the sports world through orange colored goggles so my view of all the action/inaction the NCAAholes  have take/not taken recently seem to me to be somewhere between arbitrary & capricious to downright malevolent.

the pragmatist in me knows that there is no good reason for the NCAA to hate on Cuse.  it is a high profile institution with quality recognition and #brand and has been for years.  it is also part of the P5 which, with a move to separate, would cripple the NCAA as we know it.

the cynic in me sees the NCAA as wounded, dying animal who wasn't too bright to begin with. that side of me can theorize that in an attempt to remain relevant the douches are attempting to assert petty power against a high profile school, probably purposefully one the is private and thus without full public support & resources, as part of the last-ditch effort to propagate its future.

the realist in me knows that under rational scrutiny many recent NCAA rulings would crumble.  this is especially true where SU is concerned.

the fan in me simply despises them

the American in me both sheds a tear at the ineptitude of what should be such a central institution to this great country, and simultaneously wishes I could get a well paid position with them where incompetence is so rewarded.

so, do you think their treatment of SU is part of the gameplan or simply a byproduct of an organization who would be the worst in organized sports if it weren't for FIFA and the IOC?
