Bilas says the NCAA never had a case because it wasn't in the rule book

[sambowieshin]

What rule was the NCAA enforcing against Penn State for having a pedophile on their campus?? Not saying Penn State shouldn't have been slammed, just wondering why Bilas has turned into a cyborg rule fool and the NCAA always seems to find a way around the rules when they choose to. Guess it is not against their rules and values to create fake classes to keep athletes eligible.
"There has been much speculation on whether or not the NCAA has the authority to impose any type of penalty related to Penn State,” said Ed Ray, Executive Committee chair and Oregon State president. “This egregious behavior not only goes against our rules and Constitution, but also against our values.”

F that guy. All you Bilas suckers should clearly see his allegiance is to UNC and Duke. always has been.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

My reply was deleted? Huh?

 

[Seth_C]

Bilas never had a case for having a set of balls that are detached from his former coach.

 

[Ugoff]

If the same scenario played out at any SEC school you can bet the penalties would have been swift and severe. Look at what happened at Georgia. Bilas and John Skipper are corrupt hacks.

 

[Jakarii]

Yep bilas is right once again. Penn State did things against the law so ummmmm yeah there is a slight difference

 

[Cawood86]

Bilas also said winning the ACCT was harder than winning the FF. So, he's full of it. If this had been any number of other schools, he would have led the charge to punish them.
He is just a lot of talk.

 

[hotelblue]

that's why the ncaa had the vague terminology in lack of institutional control. it's just selective enforcement.

 

[Ben101er]

Well, what needs to happen now, is that every University in the country needs to set up some fake classes, such as these, and steer their athletes to them. Oh yes, have some regular students take them as well. What can the NCAA do? Nothing, now that they have set the precedent. Every school can keep marginal student athletes eligible, and just thumb their noses at the NCAA. Just a paper tiger, with no teeth, or conviction.

 

[gracetoyou]

This is just ridiculous! Let's be real clear...NCAA only uses rule book selectively. They've punished schools before with no stated rules. Bottom line is it's UNC & they're not going to EVER do anything to Duke or UNC for ANYTHING....EVER!

I guess Syracuse should be receiving an apology any day now from NCAA.

 

[hotelblue]

what evidence is there that there was even an investigation??

Trying to understand your presence on this board. You post contrary opinions. Are you a UK fan?

Yep. Spent a week arguing DOOK deserved a #1 seed. Bilas also is the Einstein who spent months lobbying for DOOKIE Okafor to be drafted #1 instead of Karl Anthony Towns. He's an ACC hack.

 

[St.PatterSoN-54-]

Serious question. Suppose UK wanted to set up the EXACT same system that UNC employed for decades, calling it AFAM studies, etc. Could they get away with it today? If not, this is a big effing bag of flaming dogsh*t.

 

[hoggwildcat]

Unfortunately Bilas is right, it is a technicality, that UNCheat took full advantage of. Now the NCAA will have to change their rule book so other University can't do the same.

 

[JonathanW]

Was bringing in prostitutes for recruits in the rule book? Didn't think so. Nothing in the Penn St case was in the rule book. Or was the problem there that Penn St didn't fight it, they really couldn't fight it because of the nature of the issue (raping minors).

 

[Ugoff]

Does this mean UNCheat can forge ahead with their AFAM dept. as long as they let a few jock sniffers in?

 

[ace on the river]

Alabama had to vacate wins for " Failing to monitor the distribution of textbooks "

Colorado got two years probation for undercharging walk-ons for meals

Boise state got CRUSHED for letting freshman sleep on players couch's before they were enrolled.

Think of UNC, and let that sink in.....

 

[Smashcat]

Even Vitale admits UNC got special treatment.

Just curious / If on the @NCAA report the name said @GoCards Louisville that the results would be the same ? I think NOT

Got to be a fake account

 

[Gothic1960]

I have wondered for years why Bilas would support such a ludicrous & frankly ridiculously ignorant argument for UNCC's blatant cheating. While I have never bought his BS about most things I never really thought him to be lacking intelligence.

It dawned on me a few nights ago that perhaps the reason is because his beloved Coach K and Duke have been doing the exact same thing for years? Hmmm that would explain his vigor in defense of the cheaters now wouldn't it..

 

[Jkwo]

Yep bilas is right once again. Penn State did things against the law so ummmmm yeah there is a slight difference

Which has absolutely zero to do with the defense.

The cases also occurred in two different states.

Basketball and football are two different sports.

Any other irrelevant differences?

Alright then. The "strictly abiding by the rulebook" defense applies in both cases. If that is the one and only standard, then you're special pleading to appeal to legal status.

 

[Deli owl]

Bilas is wrong. If you cheat you fail the class. Check and see if they are passing. You have to know this wasn't the only class doing it for them. Too widespread.

 

[jrpross]

Nope. That’s Dickie V all right. Good for him, having some balls and speaking the truth.

There is no specific rule about pedophiles either but that didn't keep the NCAA from slamming Penn State. There are vague rules about institutional control that the NCAA uses selectively on other schools not named Duke and UNCheat. Bilas is not right, he's just biased.

Then why did they stop the classes!!?? Every school in the country should start the same classes and dare the ncaas to do something about them.

 

[Cats192]

In short--you don't have to have a brain to see what they're doing.

UNC admin: We better put some non-athletes in so they don't suspect anything.
NCAA: Well, they had non-student athletes, so it's believable

This is the same as telling your kid they can't do something, then they do it. Then they explain to you how it wasn't really what you told them not to do.

"You said not to pet the cat. I didn't. I rubbed it.'

The NCAA is hearing that and saying it sounds legit. Pathetic.

 

[bigbluedon]

Bilas is a mucking foron.

 

[Cole World]

Bilas is a highly strung up puppet clown p.o.s

Screw him and his ACC bias, I'm sure he's gave the head of ESPN more Rocky top than Butch Jones in a room full of gay Vols

 

[KentuckyRLD]

Bilas is an idiot.

 

[CatPhight]

Ask Penn State about what's in a "cough" rule book.

 

[bdstudent]

Bilas is a mucking foron.

That's what Duke fans have been saying for the past few years. No one suck hard on the UNC dong harder than "one more shot" Bilas.

 

[CatPhight]

Skipper and Bilas...who lubed whom?

 

[sambowieshin]

Tell it to FSU Bias.....I mean Bilas.

Honestly do you EVER have positive things to say about UK? Like ever? Or nah

 

[~Keyser Soze~]

Bilas is a moron and is shady af. So is y'alls boy Matt Jones who is repeating the same nonsense. They played ineligible players for 2 decades but there ain't a rule? They had unauthorized grade changes to keep athletes eligible and there aint a rule? They had tutors wroting papers, but there aint a rule? GTFOH!

There have been some that think he's a Duke fan hiding and pretending to be a "non-biased" UK fan...

Nonsense, Duke fans ****ing hate Bilas.

 

[Nubb16]

Bilas never had a case for not being a douchebag, simply because he is a douchebag.
