[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 315866, member: 2426"] I have read those sections of the NCAA Division 1 Manual. Section 2.1 states that it is the responsibility of the member institutions to control their athletics programs in compliance with NCAA rules and regulations. Section 6.01.1 states basically that the institutions and the conferences are what form institutional control. Section 6.4 states that the institutions are responsible for any person or organization that "is promoting the institution’s intercollegiate athletics program". The Division 1 Manual, nor any other document that I have read from the NCAA specifically states that child molestation or any other criminal activity is against the NCAA regulations. Section 1.2 lists 9 purposes of the NCAA and the regulations manual. They are all about regulating sports activities and fairness in college athletics.(My summation, the actual purposes are more detailed). Everything describing institutional control, including the NCAA's own summary [URL="http://www.ncaa.org/governance/institutional-control"]www.ncaa.org/governance/institutional-control[/URL] , describes control measures to ensure compliance with NCAA rules. There is no description of a general "out of control" situation. BTW, those sections are only about a page and a half in total, not difficult to read. The consent decree was signed by Penn State. Had Penn State contested the NCAA, they could not have been found non-compliant based on the text of the regulations. Terrible things happened at Penn State, but they were criminal acts, not acts against NCAA rules. The NCAA basically caved when the Penn State Trustees voted to vacate the consent decree. The consent decree is no longer active. The NCAA restored the wins vacated by the consent decree. The NCAA restored the scholarships stripped by the consent decree. It is no longer a valid agreement. I did not read the Freeh report. My understanding is that it is a document that details legal analysis and recommendations for the school to ensure that nothing like this happens again. I would challenge you to find what NCAA regulation was violated in this case. There were no recruiting violations. There were no impermissible benefits to student-athletes. There were no extra practices. There were no performance enhancing drugs. Those things might have happened at Penn State during this time frame, but if they did, they were not directly related to Sandusky. This was a criminal matter, and the NCAA should have stayed out of the way while the police and criminal authorities nailed the pervert and his enablers to the wall. [/QUOTE]
