Shalala also said former Miami athletic director Paul Dee, who held the job before Hocutt, also was not interviewed by the NCAA before his death in May 2012. Dee also was a member of the NCAA's committee on infractions, most notably when sanctions -- including a two-year bowl ban, scholarship reductions and vacating victories -- came down against Southern California in 2010, stemming from improper benefits given to then-Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush by sports marketers. Dee chaired the committee at the time, then saying "higher-profile players require higher-profile monitoring."

"The NCAA enforcement staff failed, even after repeated requests, to interview many essential witnesses of great integrity who could have provided first-hand testimony, including, unbelievably, Paul Dee, who has since passed away, but who served as Miami athletic director during many of the years that violations were alleged to have occurred," Shalala wrote. "How could a supposedly thorough and fair investigation not even include the Director of Athletics?"

pleeeze. Watch these guys (Miami) get the wrist slapping . . . while the TROJAN EMPIRE is still being crushed by penalties

"Do we have to pretend? People are getting hurt. This scam needs to end. The NCAA enforcement staff leaks “information” about excessive phone calls/text messages and illicit relationships with street agents to its most trusted members of the volunteer media enforcement staff (this doesn't include CBSSports.com's Dennis Dodd, who's done a good job of writing about McNair's situation). The volunteers cobble together a story and sit back and wait for the NCAA to use its unethical tactics to rubber stamp the salacious stories printed in the media."

That's actually a good read in light of all that has come out with NCAA tactics.

UCF felt the wrath of the NCAA recently when Pete Thamel/Pat Forde "discovered" items of interest that affected Louisville recruits.....and set off an ensuing "investigation" that put 2 UCF programs on probation....

One of those writers is a Louisville booster/season ticket holder that not only wrote a Pitino autobiography, but also contacted some of those recruits (which is an NCAA violation).

The NCAA should just go die
