More BS From the NCAA- Love / Wooden Investigated
Dwyre in the local fishwrap opines correctly about the situation:
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?
