I completely understand the NCAA's reluctance to get involved approving the content of college courses--what NCAA figurehead Mark Emmert referred to as not being in their "wheelhouse."  And he's right--that is a slippery slope that the NCAA has no business getting involved with.

But what I don't understand--at all--is how Emmert and the NCAA was so eager to turn a blind eye to the bigger issue with UNC, namely that dozens of UNC athletes had their GPAs artificially inflated by taking dummy courses, and in numerous cases these were what kept them just above minimum thresholds for eligibility to play.  Which is a problem that the NCAA absolutely should be involved with.

Now, the NCAA can pretend that focusing only on the first dimension excuses them from having to investigate further, or drop the hammer on UNC.  But the latter suggests malfeasance on a grand scale never before seen in collegiate athletics.  And if they drop the ball on this, it will be undeniable proof of their complete and total ineffectiveness as a governing body, and clear evidence of their bias and arbitrary enforcement of the rules.

Your move, NCAA.  Collegiate athletics, the sports media, and other member institutions are watching closely.
