This is such a joke.
ESPN: NCAA not punishing Baylor for sexual assault allegations

"The panel found that those instances of non-reporting did not constitute impermissible benefits to football student-athletes because of a campus-wide culture of nonreporting… Because the culture of non-reporting was not limited to cases involving student-athletes, the panel could not find that these instances resulted in impermissible benefits."

So, logically following, since there is an industry wide failure to report the activities of shoe companies supporting their client universities and their athletics programs, the NCAA should not find that such apparel companies are “boosters”, destroying the case against Kansas.

After not punishing the tarred ones and now effectively not punishing Baylor (no bans, no scholarships lost), having no evidence that any KU staffer actually paid anyone anything to attend KU (Zion Williamson did attend Duke, not KU… things that make you go “hmmm”), no evidence that KU failed to comply with the letter of the regulations or to cooperate with the NCAA, and clear evidence from the federal court cases that the NCAA is relying on that it was agents of the apparel companies that effectively defrauded KU (some “boosters”!), any decision beyond a probation period with no postseason bans and no loss of scholarships should see the NCAA taken to court by Kansas.

It doesn't seem so comical when you're the head of a large governing body in our education system. The NCAA's enforcement ruled Wednesday in the Baylor sexual assault scandal, something you might not remember because it happened so many years ago. The ruling was that the NCAA said it had no power to make a ruling.

Boss stuff. That's what Emmert does. That's really all the NCAA is about. Emmert should be fired. When? How about before lunch? This Baylor decision, added to the Supreme Court's recent ruling that all-but shot down amateurism – the defining tenet of the NCAA – shows that the NCAA has no purpose any more, nothing to do other than to host a nice basketball tournament in March.

That, and boss stuff.
