Yet another genius move by the NC$$. They tell one thing to two
schools and another thing to Maine. Then, the NC$$ punishes Maine for
having the stupidity to listen to them.
 
How can Maine possibly be punished by the NC$$ for listening to the
NC$$? It makes no sense, as does most of the stuff regarding the
NC$$. If I were a Maine fan, I'd be incensed. I'm not and I'm still
pretty pissed off.
 
In football news, Alabama cornerback Antonio Langham was declared
ineligible for the rest of the season for accepting money from
an agent during the summer. It would seem logical, bearing in
mind the Ingraham decision, that Alabama forfeit all of their
games this year in which Langham played (which is all of them).
Knowing the NC$$'s fairness, Alabama will not get penalized, I
predict, for one reason that probably does not need stating:
the NC$$ lets football and basketball do whatever they want but
will punish the most minute violation in any other non-money sport.
Now do you realize why we use the acronym NC$$?
