NCAA finally gets something right
Looks like the NCAA may finally get something right for once. 150 teams are facing the potential loss of scholarships and another 26 may be banned from postseason play for poor academic performance.
This is one thing the NCAA is actually getting correct. Athletes, while providing the school with income and fans with entertainment, are at these universities first and foremost to get an education. Most of these kids won’t play professional ball in the sports they participate in, so they need to have an education that will carry them far in life after their playing days are over. All too often, schools use these kids for their athletic abilities and spit them out after 4 or 5 years unarmed to face the challenges of the real world. And the NCAA is finally cracking down on these schools.
The NCAA is supposed to lookout for the student athlete. By punishing those schools and teams that are doing their athletes a disservice, the NCAA is finally doing their job.
