So the NCAA wants to "assure student-athletes are treated similarly to non-athlete students?"

Does this mean our student-athletes will be allowed to take a part-time job at the YMCA without us forfeiting wins?

Does it also mean that since pretty much most "non student athletes" all smoke weed, the "student-athletes" that did were just trying to fit in with their fellow students...so SU/JB gets those 101 wins back.
