The notion that the NCAA is selective with its eligibility decisions and
rules enforcement is another myth with
no basis in fact.
Money is not a motivator or factor as to why one school would get a
particular decision versus another. Any
insinuation that revenue from bowl games in particular would influence NCAA
decisions is absurd, because
schools and conferences receive that revenue, not the NCAA.
In the Ohio State case, the NCAA said players—including quarterback
Terrelle Pryor and three other starters—
had been inadequately educated about the rules and that was a mitigating
factor in the case. The NCAA
reiterated that point in its statement Wednesday.
The NCAA said Wednesday that efforts are being made to strengthen rules “
when benefits or money are
solicited (but not received).”
“Put simply, had Cam Newton’s father or a third party actually received
money or benefits for his recruitment,
Cam Newton would have been declared ineligible regardless of his lack of
knowledge,” the NCAA said. |
