posting. One thing that I have never understood is how the NCAA can make allegations, for example, on a person's character (RR's failing to promote an atmosphere of complance with NCAA rules) without proof positive. Do they just go be hearsay and hope a university doesn't fight it? They obviously did not know what they were talking about. What are the retributions for the NCAA messing up? It's a bunch of bullshit and only reaffirms my long-held belief that the NCAA is a useless, arrogant, self-righteous piece-of-shit organization.

It's like an indictment in criminal law--the NCAA first investigates, then issues a formal notice of allegations. Then, the school presents its case, the NCAA rule on what the school's position, and the school can appeal.
The NCAA often gathers testimony from former players, people close to the school, and interviews staff. But their allegations can go beyond the four corners of what they found. I am not aware, for example, of there being any direct evidence RR intentionally violated practice rules. I think the case the NCAA tried to make was that repeated violations implied as much.

I think that's the point...to stake out ground as an "insider" with cryptic comments the masses don't understand
