2 cents
To borrow from former President Richard Nixon's White House Counsel, John W. Dean III: There is a cancer on the NCAA.
Why NCAA president Mark Emmert can't see that its case against Miami is terminal, I have no idea.
Emmert said Monday the NCAA is continuing its investigation into Miami. Huh?
Despite a credibility-crippling report issued Monday, Emmert says only about 20 percent of the evidence gathered against Miami has to be tossed out. Oh, only 20 percent, OK.
What a farce.
The NCAA seemed to have a foolproof case on its hands when former Miami booster Nevin Shapiro admitted to supplying Miami players and recruits with impermissible benefits. However, the NCAA investigative unit grossly overstepped its bounds by hiring an attorney representing Shapiro to subpoena witnesses not related to his bankruptcy case in order to gain testimony from uncooperative subjects.
The NCAA itself admits the investigation is marred by a "very severe issue of improper conduct."
Emmert calls the situation an embarrassment.
How can it possibly continue further?
After all, it's not like Miami is getting off without any punishment. The school suspended players involved, passed on two bowl games, as well as a spot in this past season's Atlantic Coast Conference Championship Game. Miami has also self-imposed scholarship reductions and decreased its number of official visits.
Miami president Donna Shalala says the school has been wronged by a flawed probe. She's right.
Any further punishment from the NCAA would be a joke.
This debacle needs to end. Miami probably deserved a harsher sentence, but the NCAA is in no credible place to issue one.
