Integrity in sports

[hoythawk]

We keep hearing integrity matters in sports. Severity of punishment is our only gauge to what the NCAA feels threatens the integrity of sports. Here are a few examples for comparisons sake to see where the NCAA is regarding integrity.

5. Stealing signs in football. This one is strange since it turns out you can legally steal signs and most all teams do it. You just can't send a coach to video an opponents sidelines. Punishment= None unless you take it too far. It's strange that stealing signs is legal when that directly effects the integrity of the game.

4. Having a gun on campus. Driving said gun to give to a friend. Friend shoots an innocent lady who had refused to go on a date with friend. Punishment= None. This innocent girl was murdered. The basketball player who had the gun illegally on campus and illegally gave the gun to his fried didn't miss a game.

3. North Carolina had fake classes for athletes that went on for years. These athletes were able to train and practice more than other student athletes giving them a competitive advantage. Punishment: Essentially none. This seemed like a serious violation but the consequences don't match up.

2A. Molesting boys in the bathroom. Penn state staff were able to molest children for years and those that knew got very little punishment. Same with Michigan State and Michigan.

2B. Multiple schools have been caught cheating by paying large sums of money before NIL. FBI wiretaps busted schools working with Nike and other shoe companies to illegally sign athletes. Punishment : Essentially none.


1. Bet $25 dollars on a sport you aren't involved in. Punishment: Lose a year and possibly your career.

Make this make sense?

That's the only consistent thing about the NCAA is it's inconsistency.

To add a few more

- Do all the PEDs you want. It's technically against the rules but there's no oversight. Up to each school to test their own athletes. NCAA tests maybe once per year and the test date is know ahead of time.

-Women's basketball championship. Put the best player in college basketball in foul trouble really early with insanely soft calls. Call an insane technical foul against her as well, while the other team's ref is standing on the court the entire game, literally bumping into the ref without penalty. This officiating has a massive impact on outcome of game. Months later put out statement saying the officiating was bad. No consequence for anyone involved.
