Arian Foster admitted to being paid while playing in college at Tennessee.

"I just feel strong about the injustice that the NCAA has been doing for years," Foster said Friday. "That's why I said what I said. I'm not trying to throw anybody under the bus. ... I feel like I shouldn't have to run from the NCAA anymore. They're like these big bullies. I'm not scared of them."

This is ridiculous that we are still under sanctions....STILL UNDER SANCTIONS!

And programs are getting the slap on the wrist for their crimes!

So is UCF .... the first "major infraction" was for too many texts between staff and recruits. Now they coaches can do this as much as they want.

Since the Miami/NCAA debacle, it would indicate that NCAA penalties are drilling down as far as severity.

Of course schools like USC and PSU are still going to pay the price until they clear out the restrictions.

The NCAA's role as cop/judge/jury is going to change over time.....and it won't be soon enough for me

That is inevitable given the revenue generated by athletics and the monopolistic power that the NCAA has embodied.
