If all you're using as your barometer is "legal matter," then you could make the argument that any time something winds up in the court system the NCAA shouldn't be involved. Wasn't Shapiro in jail when they came after us? Legal matter.
UT is an institution. If UT repeatedly looks the other way and subjects its female students to vicious rapes from athletes in order to keep athletes eligible for participation in intercollegiate athletics, then that is the fcking definition of loss of institutional control. The institution is putting athletic success over the safety and welfare of its students. How much more egregious can a loss of institutional control get than that? Just because UT's malfeasance is so egregious that it rises to the level of criminally wrong doesn't stop it from being a loss of institutional control.
Wake the fck up, man!
ncaa came after miami for paying players. not for tax evasion. or in shapiro case fraud. he was arrested not part of miami but his accusations of improper benifits got miami investigated not a legal matter but a compliance one.
its completly diffrent argument. title 9 and sexual assault is a criminal matter. its not an improper benifits or recruiting violations or even academic fraud like at unc. im not condoning sexual assault by any means. it happens at campuses everywhere in america.
its just not an ncaa bylaws issue.
it doesn't violate any rules that impact fair play. its disgusting even immorral but not a violation that should get a sports team to lose scholorships or postseason bans. if it wants to say butch jones is unable to coach at college level im all for that. he isn't suppose to help kids get away with sexual assault and if accusations are true should never be able to coach in ncaa again.
that said penn state was a legal matter, and so is what is happening at tennesee. what happened at miami was a completly diffrent issue. it wasn't a legal issue for miami. giving kids money violates no law. it just violates ncaa bylaws. hence compliance to say cause a guy being investigated for fraud and in jail for it should mean a team shouldn't have to answer to ncaa for cheating is idiotic.
