Re: NBC News: Several NCAA Assistant Coaches Arrested by FBI
I think that this is the equivalent of a nuclear bomb going off at the NCAA headquarters. Basketball is the NCAA's life blood. Without it, they will have no financial base to pay employees much less govern 400 schools. I also believe this is a wakeup call for the Power 5. Football has long been treated differently that basketball when it come to punishing offenders. When was the last time you saw a basketball school get hammered? For example, North Carolina has yet to be punished yet for their violations. I can go down a litany of high profile cases the NCAA has either bungled or just plain ignored in the past. It is high time the power 5 to become its own entity with its own oversight. They can negotiate their own basketball tournament and get a bigger payday than having to share it with Eastern Podunck state. The power 5 really has no use for the NCAA. The NCAA needs them more than the power 5 needs it.
