At times, the NCAA's treatment of potential student-athletes seems borderline criminal.
The latest travesty? Texas Longhorns tight end signee Devonaire Clarington is still in limbo with the governing body of college athletics, even though he told the Austin American-Statesman that he submitted his paperwork a month ago.
Think about that -- the consensus four-star prospect and most important tight end signee for Texas in a decade isn't able to practice with his future team or even make alternative plans to continue his football career somewhere else because a month isn't long enough for the NCAA to make a decision.
