The NCAA and the schools participating in high level athletics have been all about the almighty dollar for a long time now.     Why should it surprise you that those in power will do almost anything to prevent something from interrupting the gravy train that they are feeding at.   That is what happens when you sacrifice principles for profits.

-We justify the participation of kids that have no desire to obtain a college education 
     -We accept $30+ ticket prices
     -Coaching salaries in the millions of dollars, far exceeding the highest paid administrators
     -Schedules that go on forever and make it next to impossible for "student"/athletes to concentrate on academic pursuits.
     -Athletic departments that are better staffed and funded than most academic departments within the University.
     -Facilities for athletes that are veritable palaces compared to what is available to the average student at the same schools.
     -Athletic Championships that are pursued almost as much for the $ that is awarded to the participants as for the glory in winning.
