[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 315950, member: 2426"] It was a type in the number. The current, as of 15-16, manual has three other sections between 19.01.1 and [B]19.01.5 Exemplary Conduct[/B]. The current 19.01.2 is: [B]19.01.2 Accountability. [/B]The infractions program shall hold institutions, coaches, administrators and student- athletes who violate the NCAA constitution and bylaws accountable for their conduct, both at the individual and institutional levels. That is what I was responding to. I have two issues with the idea that the NCAA should have stepped in: The first is the plain text of the document. The entire document is written to ensure fairness in athletics. The "purpose" of the regulations in section 1.2 lists 9 ideas that are all about athletics. Even in the conclusions about Penn State, that paragraph, count 3, is written to confuse. Section 19 is the Infractions Program section of the rules. This is where it describes what happens if violations of the regulations are found. The current [B]19.01.05[/B] is there to basically say that the athletic staff is responsible for presenting an image of compliance with the NCAA regulations. This says athletic staff should not be seen as anywhere near the border of violating rules. The NCAA has a specific role to regulate athletic competition and fairness. I don't believe the NCAA should get anywhere near deciding what is moral. Was Art Briles moral? Was Mike Leach moral? Was Sarkisian moral? Was Petrino moral? Was Pitino moral? I am not attempting to say that any of these were moral, just that the NCAA should limit their enforcement arm to the stated "purpose" of the NCAA. The second is a baffling belief that the NCAA is somehow the greatest authority. Shortly after Sandusky was arrested, several SEC team fans told me that the big hammer would drop when the NCAA got involved. The police have power to arrest. The police have guns and can draw them if you resist. If you resist with force, the police can shoot and kill you. The prosecutors can present a case to a jury in order to have your property or your freedom forcibly taken from you. Yet somehow, there is a belief that the NCAA who can take action to reduce scholarships, or vacate wins, is the ULTIMATE authority in the United States. If there are illegal acts committed, the NCAA should stay out of the way of the police. If there are athletic competition/fairness violations, the NCAA should investigate and impose penalties if appropriate. If there are illegal activities and athletic competition/fairness violations, the NCAA should stay out of the way of the police with respect to the crimes, and investigate and impose penalties for the NCAA violations. If the NCAA membership wants to expel a member school for gross behavior that the membership doesn't want to associate with, I would have no problems. However, if they want to enforce NCAA rules, they should go by a strict reading of the NCAA rules. If they aren't happy with the rules, then the text of the rules should be changed, not loosely interpreted to fit any scenario. [/QUOTE]
