[NOLA]

NCAA Enforcement representatives have visited Auburn and Mississippi State, and perhaps at least one more SEC Western Division school, this summer to speak with players who were recruited by Ole Miss. The players were granted immunity from potential NCAA sanctions in exchange for truthful accounts of their recruitment, sources said.

NCAA is out of control. Someone is really butthurt that they spent 3 years investigating Ole Miss and all they could come up with was $16,000 of impermissible benefits, such as keeping a loaner car too long or a current player staying on a coach's couch for a night. They found no evidence of pay for play or money exchanging hands between staff and players/recruits. I'm not saying that didn't happen, because of course that kind of thing happens at every program.

 

However, this new tactic is pretty twisted. I have never seen an athlete granted immunity to snitch on a program other than the one he signed with. That has to give schools concern. Now the NCAA is essentially saying that some violations are more important than others, that "getting" school X is more important than school Y. That a player could say "An Ole Miss booster gave me $100 and I took it but signed with Auburn for a new Escalade" and the NCAA would give Ole Miss a level 1 for the hundy and take no action at all against Auburn.

Given the source, I can't tell if this is real or not. The percentage of real articles that are virtually indistinguishable from satire has to have octupled over the past decade.

A University of Iowa professor is asking the athletics department to make the university’s mascot, Herky the Hawk, display friendlier facial expressions, arguing that his angry grimace is traumatizing students.

 

“I believe incoming students should be met with welcoming, nurturing, calm, accepting and happy messages,” Resmiye Oral, a clinical professor of pediatrics, wrote Tuesday in an email to athletic department officials, obtained by the Iowa City Press-Citizen.

 

Ms. Oral told the Press-Citizen that she has been concerned for some time about Herky the Hawk’s lack of emotional diversity. Her email to the athletics department was included in a message she sent Tuesday morning to her fellow members of the UI Faculty Senate.

 

“As we strive to tackle depression, suicide, violence, and behavioral challenges and help our students succeed, I plead with you to allow Herky to be like one of us, sometimes sad, sometimes happy, sometimes angry, sometimes concentrated,” Ms. Oral wrote.
