He has great credentials and all, but I hope he has a large task force/staff at his disposal. I would hope the NCAA hires one "cop" for each of the SEC teams.

Edit: Must get faster.

Ashevillain said... I went to google craig james, and by the time I typed "craig ja", it auto corrected with killed 5 hookers.
I doubt that; however, I had a professor at W&L who swares James got him fired at SMU. This professor supposedly caught James cheating & tried to bring up an Honor Violation; then, was fired. He also told me that James was drunk driving one night, hit 5 parked cars & the boosters replaced all 5 cars with a Mercedes so no charges would develop. TIFWIW

This has got to be a silly joke the NCAA is playing on all of us.  There is no way they are stupid enough to think one (probablly corrupt) police officer will make an impact within the NCAA.

Does that make me corrupt? It may be stupid for the NCAA to hire one former police officer to tackle the recruiting issue however, it does not mean the person is corrupt. You have a pretty narrow scope of the world posting that crap.

Phil, I didn't mean that all police officers are corrupt.  I didn't mean that at all.  I respect the police and am very supportive of them.  I was implying that the NCAA is corrupt and would probably hire someone (like them) to legitimze their doings.

My appologies, should have specified.

Sounds like a new crime drama on CBS.  I hope they hire someone who is fiesty, and doesn't play by the rules...but despite public perception, they get RESULTS.

Maybe Benjamin's squad is the NCAA's new Untouchables. It has taken too long to form a group concentrating only on football. Benjamin will oversee a team of six investigators.
It's a start but the barn door's been wide open for years, if you catch my drift.

The NCAA is no use tor anyone if they dont come down on violators!! The NCAA wil not come down on their money makers, case and point Ohio St! Their rules are antiquated and are not enforced with a heavy hand!! Lastly, Jim Delany!! Thank you Mr Delany for making the Big Ten look like the SEC!!
