Message: [QUOTE="shantydaze, post: 2569779, member: 666"] Here is my thought on the NCAA's inaction. The allegations in the criminal complaints are just that, allegations. Before the schools can be disciplined, the NCAA needs evidence that the allegations are true. The FBI and the U.S. Attorney's office are not going to just turn over their evidence to a private organization before trial/resolution is reached and, if the cases resolve through a plea bargain, they may never turn over the information. If I were in the NCAA's enforcement department, I would simply wait until the trials started to collect evidence against the players and schools. Due to the NCAA's inability to compel disclosure of information, letting attorneys with subpoena power (whether criminal or civil) do the work for it is the better course of action. If after evidence is presented proving the allegations, the NCAA still does nothing, then it would be the appropriate time for hand-wringing and recriminations. [/QUOTE]
