OT: Screw the NCAA

[jekelish]

I'm sure they'd find a way to call that a violation, too.

Leonard Fournette went through Katrina. He knows what it's like to be a victim like the people in SC. It's absolutely sickening that the NCAA won't let him help them.

Because of precedent. You allow him to and you open the door for future players/events which may not be as genuine. It sucks but the schools gave and continue to give the ncaa this power.
