More BS From the NCAA- Love / Wooden Investigated

Dwyre in the local fishwrap opines correctly about the situation:

LA Times

This is the NCAA at it's most ridiculous:

Allow the inmates to run amok over in south central, living in luxurious suites for peanuts, getting athletes whose high school diplomas are from a variety of online "schools", signing  six figure contracts while their families live rent free...

BUT, immediately investigate the budding relationship between a 97 year old legend and the freshman superstar. Fortunately, we are UCLA, and even this was above board:

"Matter of fact, it was easy. Wooden, as a paid consultant to the school, is permitted to meet with recruits." The sad part is, with all this confusion, everyone is treading lightly: "Stan Love is under the impression, hopefully incorrect, that his son can't talk to Wooden right now." The closing really summarizes how incredibly stupid this whole investigation is: "When Wooden attends games at Pauley Pavilion -- sadly fewer and fewer these days -- Lorenzo Mata-Real, Love's backup center, likes to go over to his seat and greet him.

Expect an NCAA investigation soon."

Someone, please stop the madness!  There are times when I am just forced to believe that there has to be some deep dark conspiracy within the NCAA that allows for such an obvious disparity in their actions. 

By the way, do you think North Carolina, with Roy "No one recruits harder than me but I'll cry at a drop of a dime" Williams has Michael Jordan on their payroll as a paid consultant?

Good point regarding Jordan
If the NCAA is going to interview Kevin, then they should definitely be asking Kevin about North Carolina's recruitment of him, also.
