Alabama Crimson Tide fans joined fans from across the nation in indignation this week. Triggering the response was the final NCAA ruling and penalties for Baylor University. The ‘slap on the wrist’ penalties should be an embarrassment to not just those part of college sports’ governing body, but to athletics administrators across the nation.
Baylor was found to have broken multiple rules, but whether the penalties matched the violations is not the main issue. The main problem is individuals at Baylor were guilty of offenses far worse than breaking rules of the National Collegiate Athletic Association.
