Cobb Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 The NCAA defended its recent rulings in violations cases involving Ohio State and Auburn, saying it does not play favorites or make decisions based on financial considerations. The NCAA posted a statement on its website Wednesday responding to critics. It says "the notion that the NCAA is selective with its eligibility decisions and rules enforcement is another myth with no basis in fact. The NCAA says money was not a factor in its ruling against Ohio State. But Bruce Feldman writes it's always about money when it comes to the NCAA. Blog Insider "Money is not a motivator or factor as to why one school would get a particular decision versus another. Any insinuation that revenue from bowl games in particular would influence NCAA decisions is absurd, because schools and conferences receive that revenue, not the NCAA." Last week, the NCAA suspended five Ohio State players for five games next season for selling their championship rings, trophies and other memorabilia items, but is allowing them to play in the upcoming Allstate Sugar Bowl.This is funny because if it had happened a school like Arizone or NC State there is no way in hell the players would be playing in the bowl game. It's always about money. The NCAA is becoming more and more of a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleveland's Finest Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 How are they favoring OSU? The bowl game means absolutely nothing, but we lose half our offense for half the season. They only favored Cam Newton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
