You can just stop right there! If UA says it didn't happen, it couldn't have happened. They certainly have no reason to not let info like that be exposed.
And obviously, I didn't stop there. If the NCAA KNEW it was happening, then why did they say it wasn't? You don't want to touch anything I said that applies logic to the situation with a 10 ft pole. I agree that just because UA says it didn't happen, doesn't mean they are right. However, the NCAA apparently verified this to be true. Can you really see them letting us skate on this if it was some huge conspiracy? They even noted in the public report that the infractions were relatively minor and could have been handled through summary disposition had it not been in the repeat offender window. But hey, you know the REAL story. Everybody ignore what the NCAA says, they don't have shit on Chizad! You are so desperate for something to give AU a leg up, it is obvious. Again, I'm going to guess that you haven't even read the first sentence in the public report, have you?
The following accounts for 22 of the student-athletes:
All of the text books and materials were either returned at the end of the semester or charged to, and recovered from, the student-athletes' receivables account, as was required by the institution's textbook program. The investigation did not reveal that anyone converted the books or materials to cash by reselling the items, and did not reveal that anyone acquired items that were not academic in character, such as personal electronics devices or clothing.
The following accounts for 179 of the student-athletes:
The second type of infraction involved student-athletes who unintentionally received the impermissible use of non-required textbooks and materials. These optional or recommended materials were often included with students' pre-packaged required materials. The student -athletes received optional or recommended items through either: 1) confusion or haste by bookstore employees during the "book rush" at the beginning of the semester or; 2) mistaken packaging by bookstore employees, resulting from discrepancies among syllabi for different courses and for sections of the same course.
Bottom line is we're talking about 22 kids who intentionally misused the system. The other 179 weren't lending books to friends or anything, they simply got optional stuff they shouldn't have whether it was pre-packaged with required materials, or whether it was the book store employees who messed up when they were bundling books and included something they shouldn't have. Its still a violation, but they are labeled "unintentiol offenders." The NCAA isn't even penalizing them with vacated victories, only the sports the 22 "intentional offenders" participated in. I'm not thrilled that any of this happened or anything, but damn dude, its not nearly as bad as you're making it up to be, no matter how much imaginary shit you throw in the pot.
