Message: [QUOTE="javadoc, post: 308750, member: 338"] The rulebook does deal primarily with regulations of athletics - participation, the flow of all money through athletics, amateur status, the various annual calendars, etc. The issue seems pretty simple to me, and I don't know why some continue to disagree. The clauses dealing with moral conduct etc. are plain and right there in print, as I mentioned above. This is as close to a "black letter law" situation that I can imagine, whereby those particular by-laws contain teeth beyond the scope of criminal or civil proceedings against the individuals involved. If we're not going to enforce them in this case, then there is no point in retaining them. Let the NCAA be known as a body whose opprobrium falls on schools that misuse money, but not one that uses its flagship sports program as a haven for a child rapist. The by-laws are there. They apply. Enforce them. [/QUOTE]
