Why should our preeminent education organization be any different in supporting disingenuous spin/lies than our fine politicians?
NCAA is putting these kids in the positions of coming up with a good "lie" to justify instant eligibility. You would think they would want to encourage honesty but it is pretty clear between how they treat screw schools coming forward to admit issues versus those who fight tooth and nail to hide their malfeasance and get away with it.
I don't have a problem with Fields or any other kid having freedom to freely transfer. But anyone with a brain knows the real reason he transferred has nothing to do with some idiot (who got promptly thrown out of school) hurling shit at him as opposed to not being able to play because he stuck behind someone else. Gilman's reason for transferring isn't really any different than Fields: I want a chance to play in the pros.
