Message: [QUOTE="JJKrispy82, post: 2341090, member: 6532"] Life-long Syracuse (and in recent years, also Duke) fan chiming in. This sham of a ruling by the NCAA for UNC makes the timing of the latest Adidas scandal extremely suspect. I know it is a stretch, but it really feels like the timing of the Adidas scandal going down was perfectly orchestrated to try to deflect attention from this outrageous ruling exonerating UNC. With everyone focused on the Adidas scandal, this may not even see major new outlet headlines......if it was the only major NCAA story at the time, it would at least scrape the front pages and might have stirred up some momentum about how toothless the NCAA was. As it stands, the story can now be safely buried and "forgotten" about, at least from the general media & public perspective. As much as we think this will be the death of the NCAA, and that UNC will be forever tarnished in the public eye, here's what will really happen: The NCAA will remain. College sports will steadily become more corrupt, less emphasized on students & academics, and more of a "Pro-light" league. UNC will never lose its image in the public eye --- 20 years (and maybe 3 more championships) from now, no one will remember this scandal well. Most won't even mention it within 5 years. What fraud? Didn't you read the NCAA ruling? Schools without the influence of UNC will continue to get hammered for minor to moderate self-reported items OR schools will stop self-reporting and college sports will become a cesspool of corruption. Today was not the beginning of the end for the NCAA. Today marks the end of college athletics as we know it, regardless of whether the NCAA remains or not (spoiler: they will remain). The college athletics that we have all known and loved is gone. Destroyed. Murdered by UNC and the NCAA. The Walking Dead that will arise from this disgusting corpse of a ruling will be a hollow shell of its former self. Oozing with corruption to the core, lacking any of the genuine quality & soul that it had when it was alive and well. Hollow. Dead. Soulless. RIP College Sports. [/QUOTE]
