Betting on Next NCAA Violation


I caught this article in the Birmingham News over the weekend. Usually, I would never post anything from this guy because 1) he is your typical SEC blowhard who thinks they are God's gift to the NCAA and 2) he is sexist when it comes to women's sports. Nonetheless, I found some of this article amusing.

If you are one of those people who just can't seem to enjoy watching anything to do with sports unless you have some money riding on the outcome, here's one more piece of action for you:

An online sports betting service, USBet.com Sportsbook, posted odds last week on the schools most likely to commit the next NCAA violation.

And the winner:

Relax, Alabama fans. The Crimson Tide was not No. 1.

That honor went to the University of Southern California, with odds of 8-1. That's a pretty safe bet if by "most likely to commit the next NCAA violation" USBet.com really means "the next program most likely to be found guilty of major NCAA violations."

It would seem virtually impossible for the NCAA not to come up with something with which to charge USC, given the nature of the Reggie Bush-O.J. Mayo soap opera. But then again, the NCAA's crack enforcement staff apparently hasn't been able to come up with anything definitive on Bush in three years of trying, perhaps proving that there is no such thing as a sure bet.

They are most likely to commit...

and least likely to be meaningfully punished.
