We cited this before in our column space here, but we will repeat it: the NCAA is violating its own mission statement by staying silent too long on the biggest cheating scandal to hit college sports in forever and a day. Meanwhile, the Florida State Seminoles suffer the direct consequences for the NCAA’s pathetic lack of response to published facts of the situation, as the team’s roster is all but decimated now for its bowl game.

One more time, from the NCAA’s own mission statement:

Priorities

Coordinate and deliver safe, fair and inclusive competition directly and by Association members:

  • Set rules and guidelines and provide enforcement.
  • Create programs that support outstanding performance on and off the field.
  • Deliver excellent and inclusive championships.

Yep, that’s right. A priority, allegedly, for the NCAA is to deliver fair competition; it is failing by refusing to ban Michigan and its football program from postseason participation. There is no enforcement for breaking rules, as it has been established in the Michigan situation, while a team like Florida State is punished by making room for the cheating Wolverines in the College Football Playoff when the NCAA could have acted.

By definition, major college football does not an “excellent” or “inclusive” championship, and we know the CFP is outside the NCAA jurisdiction, in theory, but the governing body still can ban teams from competing in bowl games—and in essence, that is what the Michigan football team stole from the Seminoles: a spot in the Rose Bowl. So, the NCAA has failed here, as well. Is there any part of the NCAA mission still intact? No.

Finally, there are the sports mediots who, like the sycophantic assclowns they are, just go along with the charade for clickbait while trying to line their own pockets. They’re not journalists anymore; they’re pathetic accomplices in corruption/fraud. Real people get hurt by cheaters, liars, and thieves, and the modern-day mediots just sit around and do very little to live up to free-speech maxims: protect the public.

Do yourself a favor and don’t watch any of the bullshit bowl games left on the schedule, folks. You’ll be doing the right thing, even if your team is the Texas Longhorns or the Washington Huskies.
