No, I'm not insinuating that you are indifferent to it. My point was more that saying "sorry, not my jurisdiction" is a sorry excuse for the governing body of a sports league (essentially what the ncaa is) not doing anything about a program that clearly knew something was going on, took some half measures to try to distance itself from it and did little to force any sort of truly comprehensive investigation into the activities. And that's assuming there wasn't a coverup, which of course everyone who has half a brain realizes likely happened. 
 
If the NCAA truly believes that athletics play a part in the well-rounded development of young men and women and they truly believe that's the mission of their athletics programs (I sincerely doubt this is true, by the way) then leveling sanctions against a program that didn't simply turn a blind eye to bad behavior (kids at miami getting cash for abortions, etc) but actively participated (if only by negligence) in the activities of a serial rapist, then what role do they actually fill? I mean, this was done [I]in[/I] the football facilities [I]and[/I] witnessed by an assistant coach [I]and[/I] reported to the head coach [I]AND[/I] (I'm out of breath from back-to-back run-on sentences) was perpetrated by an assistant coach. The only way it could get more damning for the football team is if it was part of the halftime show.
