Just as I was typing I get a notification for this video; the first 5
½ minutes of the conversation cover pretty much what I believe we all were thinking, anyway:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkQdUUfAlVcKlatt literally even uses the term ineptitude in the same context I did in my previous post ... almost freaky.

The NCAA has been slowly castrated by the University Presidents, Athletic Directors and others for years….. and now, along comes the College Football Playoff Committee.
Oh, that’s gotta hurt.
It began after the fiasco back in the days of the old Southwest Conference when the NCAA dropped the hammer on the conference for what at the time was considered egregious violations. ESPN has a ‘30 For 30’ episode about called ‘The Pony Express’, I believe…….. in any event, that’s when the demise of the NCAA began.
Nowadays, in my humble opinion, the NCAA is little more than a buffer between its members and conferences and the legal system whereas the members and conferences don’t get sued for missteps or violations of the law but instead the NCAA gets sued. 10’s of millions of dollars are spent every year on lawsuits……. In other word, the NCAA is the ‘Fall Guy’. I see where Reggie Bush has filed a lawsuit for ‘Defamation of Character’ over his behavior during his days at Southern Cal. I wonder if Pete Carroll is is also mentioned in the filing?????
Although it may not be the ‘NCAA’ per say, but there will be a ‘buffer’.
………and btw, is this action against Harbaugh by Michigan an admission of his lying and guilt????? IMHO, it is. We’ll see where it goes from here……. My two cents worth is Harbaugh will skip town after this coming season….. think Pete Carroll.
Can you say “Cheeseburger”?
