War on Women: Can NCAA Reduce, If Not Eliminate, Abuse of Females?
Not again! An ugly topic raised its head once more when coach Chris Beard was canned by Texas following allegations of domestic violence involving his fiancee. Last summer marked nearly half of Michigan State's All-Big Ten Conference first-team selections this century running afoul of the law or involved in unseemly lawsuits/incidents after Miles Bridges faced felony domestic violence charge following accusation of assaulting his girlfriend in front of their two children (pleaded no contest when sentenced to serve three years of probation). Bridges, who is also a rapper under the name RTB MB, previously was fined $50,000 for striking a fan with a mouthpiece.
Out of eligibility or not, a campaign can't go by without having to wade through college basketball's corrosive "Cradles of Criminals" cesspool. A couple of years ago, former Notre Dame assistant coach Ryan Ayers was charged with three counts of voyeurism and one count of domestic violence. Charges involved his relationships with two women over a four-year span where he allegedly recorded them, without their consent, naked or while having sex with them. Ayers, who averaged 6.5 ppg and 2.4 rpg for UND from 2005-06 through 2008-09 under coach Mike Brey, is also said to have hit one of the females in the face during an altercation in his car. Son of former Ohio State/Philadelphia 76ers coach Randy Ayers abruptly left the less-than-candid Fighting Irish program at start of 2020-21 school year "to pursue opportunities (to do heaven or impish leprechaun knows what) elsewhere." The state's subsequent motion to dismiss charges came after prosecutors twice asked a superior court judge to recuse himself from the case for allegedly making inappropriate comments about an accuser and photographic evidence in the case.
Several seasons ago, Georgetown's roster was depleted when majority of four exiting players departed due to off-the-court transgressions. The "hood" ornaments of self-indulgence striving to bask in glory of Hoya Paranoia heroes such as Allen Iverson and Victor Page drove away without admission of or finding of guilt regarding sexual harassment and assault charges in mid-September including FaceTime "we'll send people after you" threat and complaint that one of the suspects "showed her his erect clothed penis." One of the female accusers expressed fear for her safety and her roommate's safety, alleging assault and battery plus theft of personal property (Playstation 4, Nikon camera among other items with value of $1,625). Seems as if Hoyas coach Patrick Ewing should have taken his "G-men" scholars on "cultural" field trip to g-string Atlanta strip club, where former All-American center admitted twice having oral sex with dancers compliments of the club owner according to testimony in a racketeering trial. At a "bare-it-all" minimum, Ewing could conduct free #MeToo seminar explaining to his pupils how abusing women similar to Georgetown graduate William Jefferson Clinton could be detrimental to their careers if facing an authentic impeachment. Perhaps by now the inept #MessMedia, including "unbiased" Clinton lackey George Step-on-the-truth-to-us and his throat-slitting gesture on ABC to cut input from Donald Trump lawyer, discerned who blew past him as #SickWillie's "whistle" blower relieving his anxieties.
Amid the incessant indiscretions at NCAA DI level, there should be a GoFundMe account for those offended whenever self-promoting mother/daughter duo Gloria Allred and Lisa Bloom - women's rights lawyers/extortionists "extraordinaire" - hit the airwaves with doctored evidence and therapeutic crying towels. Prior to making Prince Andrew profusely sweat, boisterous Bloom sought to solicit cash from donors and media outlets for accusers of sexual misconduct alleged about #TheDonald. Unscrupulous Bloom, affiliating with demented demagogue David Brock, offered to sell the victims' Pay-to-Say tales while wanting to pocket a portion for herself as a commission. She persuaded a Democratic donor to pay off one accuser's flip-flopping make-up artist mortgage and tried to get a hefty six-figure payday for a hospitalized woman who eventually declined to come forward despite exponentially-increasing offers up to $750,000. Read Bloom's disgusting emails and text messages if you want to lose your lunch and get an urge to recycle leech lawyer jokes. Misguided Allred/Bloom tandem should make themselves useful by keeping mouths fulls of fellow insufferable Left Coast lunatics/swamp mistresses #NannyPathetic and #MadMaxine via "fohty-five" scoops of #Dimorat diva deluxe (im)peach ice cream.
At any rate, which sexual-deviant B.C. (Bill Clinton or Bill Cosby) should be designated BC (Biggest Conniver)? Moreover, which BCs (Basketball Coaches) should be sued for BC (Bringing to Campus) so many BCs (Bad Characters)? Beyond Clinton's Oral Office, is nothing sacred as father-figure Cosby's silence about numerous female accusations spoke volumes before and as his sexual assault retrial unfolded? We'll never think of Fat Albert and Jell-O pudding in the same way after hearing about a settlement and conviction involving former Temple women's basketball staffer Andrea Constand and Cosby, the school's most famous alumnus. Standards depend upon how much one donates to a university on or off the court/field. Temple's indifferent brass, apparently much too fond of Jello-O pudding samples or Quaaludes lethargic, kept Cosby as a member of its Board of Trustees while many other entities dropped Dr. Huxtable off a cliff quicker than a Ferguson or Baltimore thief mishandling a liquor bottle scampering out of a looted convenience store hurdling debris like an aging track star fantasizing about an aphrodisiac drink. The Cosby Show was finally cancelled as a TU Trustee after Thanksgiving before degenerate's striking number of accusers formed a cathartic coalition. Cigars stored elsewhere, perv prez Clinton must have a freezer full of Jell-O pops spiked with "distinguishing-characteristic" Quaaludes provided by admirer Cos, going blind from who knows what as his attack-dog legal team assaulted his victims again. Have you woke-wondered if #SickWillie's attorney with wallet full of his sex-dollar bills was immersed in negotiating #HarveySwinestein's contract tolerating sexual harassment by acknowledging prospect of pathetic pig, supported by Bloom, paying Cosmic settlements to aggrieved women? #Swinestein had millions of reasons invested in a recent massage-my-ego project.
Excluding slip-and-fall ambulance chasers, what self-respecting attorney would contemplate representing repulsive rollator-requiring #Swinestein? If Jimmy Carter felt comfortable smiling while criticizing "we-know-what-has-to-be-done," then there is an absolute absence of mentally-tough authentic leaders. The NFL essentially ignored domestic violence until Candid Camera delivered demonstrable deviance igniting a cover-up. In sports, what the "presstitutes" miss is that zero tolerance for the troubling "War on Women" needs to be addressed in high school and college before the lack of a moral compass reaches the green room for pink-ribbon and pink-shoe donning pros. Actually, Allred and Bloom missed the boat dwelling on celebrities and politicians when they could have made a fortune focusing on college sports during and after scholars were big man on campus. For instance, former Arkansas State guard Arthur Agee Jr., featured in documentary Hoop Dreams (1994 Oscar-nominated film following prep players in Chicago) was accused of punching a woman in mid-November 2017, causing her to incur three fractured ribs (charges subsequently dropped). In 2018, UMBC earned national acclaim by becoming the first #16 seed to defeat a #1 seed (Virginia) but the Retrievers didn't receive similar headlines only four years earlier when four members of team allegedly gang raped a female athlete at a dormitory in late summer. The deliberate debauchery has existed for decades. Fifty years ago, Pan American was investigated regarding a sexually explicit interracial photo album used in recruitment. Any idea why a Florida State cheerleader reportedly traveled with a Seminoles assistant coach to Chicago in the late 1970s on recruiting trip pursuing guard Raymond McCoy?
Only heaven knew where tawdry allegations would end up in aftermath of legal "Hoop Nightmare" maneuverings against former Memphis guard Derrick Rose, Sacramento Mayor/Depreciated Democrat Kevin Johnson and OTL investigative reporting about Michigan State's pill-pushing Cosby wannabees. Rose, hoop royalty speaking with all the credibility of "sweating-and-learning" Prince Andrew explaining friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, testified he was taught at the NBA's rookie camp to take used condoms with him after sex. Cynically, coach John Calipari could have been referring to Rose's group-effort escapades several years ago when saying "he (great kid) is taking better care of his body than at any other point during his career." Other observers digesting trial accounts of possible Lamar Odom/Tristan Thompson (Kardashi)can-chasing wannabee might view him as the youngest MVP (Most Vile Pervert) in NBA history or that Karma is a bitch when it came to his series of injuries.
Unless you are progressive puke approving of Bernie Sanders' rape-fantasy essay and completely ignore Tara Reade's accusations regarding #Plagiarist Bile-dumb going farther than hair-sniffing when not on speaker phone with business partner son hideous Hunter, shouldn't there be more reflexive concern for victims rather than impact on roster of team with alleged criminal? According to FBI, about 70% of domestic violence probes fail to result in criminal cases. Those figures coincide with estimates claiming about 2/3 of sexual assault charges involving soup-kitchen college athletes are dropped or not filed similar to couple of TCU hoopers in 2006; multiple Syracuse hoopers in fall of 2007 carrying on SU tradition stemming from bizarre incident involving Villanova cheerleader at 1982 Big East Tournament in Hartford; St. John's players attending a strip club to drown their sorrows following loss at Pittsburgh in 2004; two Michigan State freshmen playing mini-hoop version of strip poker during orientation in fall of 2010 plus three apparently wayward scholars "running a train" in spring of 2015; a Washington player probed in 2010-11; pair of Providence freshman "players" several seasons ago on the heels of recruiting rot revealed upon dismissal of leading scorer after 2009-10 campaign; Wake Forest band member allegation after 2009 NCAA playoff upset defeat against Cleveland State in Miami, and salacious Kansas sexcapade in dormitory housing hoopers relieving stress "running away" from studying for final exams in mid-December 2016. Criminal charges also weren't filed at KU stemming from an alleged elevator exposure incident in mid-May 2007. In light of Marquette failing to report multiple messy incidents to Milwaukee police, can you begin to fathom how many times monopolistic schools covered up "Boys Gone Wild" indiscretions with get-out-of-trouble-free cards to keep rap sheets shorter than stat sheets? If in idealistic denial, read accounts regarding raunchy book written by Kyle Fuller, a starting guard in previous decade for Vanderbilt, the so-called "Harvard of the South."
Forfeiting any recruiting dignity, the MSU and PC freshman felonious activity coupled with Minnesota's frosh porn-star tryout in 2015-16 and Louisville's "Thrill in the Ville" indicate that, at the very least, schools need to improve their background checks. In an era where athletic departments solely review accusations against their own, statistics show disturbing pattern of inaction where athletes are convicted at a much lower rate than the general population. According to a USA Today study during a trial involving wayward Kobe Bryant, prominent athletes are much less likely to be convicted of sexual assault than the average citizen. Consider this stark statistical comparison: 2/3 of the public-at-large is convicted when charged with sexual assault while 2/3 of prominent athletes are exonerated in similar allegations involving the brotherhood of scumbags. Accordingly, can you imagine how many self-serving boosters (such as Sam Gilbert at UCLA) and coaches helped orchestrate and underwrite abortions since Roe vs. Wade decision? Naked thought is as ugly as #Hollyweird mosaic of male celebs exposed as sexual abusers the last few years.
Public-at-large has virtually become numb to the seemingly never-ending sordid shenanigans such as Saint Louis having multiple players suspended for 1 1/2 to 2 years and another expelled before prize prospect Jordan Goodwin was sanctioned stemming from an on-campus apartment incident concluding with three women telling police they were sexually assaulted. Earlier in the decade, SLU had its top two players dropped from the Billikens' roster amid similar accusations. Michigan State's poor judgment, including redacting information on public records to a point where the material became useless, wasn't restricted to basketball obfuscation in order to try to maintain national acclaim. Reports of sexual misconduct by disgraced Dr. Larry Nassar reached at least 14 MSU representatives in two decades before his arrest. MSU is an inspiration to mediocrities everywhere. It missed multiple opportunities to halt Nassar, a graduate of its osteopathic medical school who also served as USA Gymnastics national team doctor while reportedly molesting more than 250 girls and women under the guise of treating them for pain. Circling the wagons before settling with survivors for $500 million, MSU's purported concern for victims included spending $500,000 for dig-up-dirt/peeping Tom monitoring of some of their social media accounts along with journalists. But Spartan Nation has always been suspect, if not textbook lax, in regard to accountability going back to All-American guard Scott Skiles, the nation's second-leading scorer in 1985-86 who incurred two DUI arrests, a drug possession arrest, two jail sentences and 18 days in jail during a 16-month span in mid-1980s. As a result of these numerous indiscretions, Skiles received a whopping one-game suspension. What "train" engineering courses do athletes with "loco-motives" take at maniacal MSU? Manhood Selfie 101 (like Snap-chat sensation Draymond Green). Who do these vain denizens think they are? As Amazon irresistible as #WashingtonCompost owner Jeff Bezos and his intimate texts to girlfriend? Thus, it was no surprise ESPN unearthed that aroused MSU athletes were about three times as likely as other students to be accused of sexual misconduct or domestic violence in complaints made at the "institution." In the aftermath of 2015 Final Four appearance, several Spartan players lured a female student back to their apartment under false pretenses from a local bar and took turns having their way with her. In late February 2021, a judge dismissed a Title IX complaint despite saying case met criteria of incident of actionable sexual harassment and the school's actual knowledge of it.
Tortured observers needed "other stuff" treatment after listening to and watching image-protecting hoops icon Tom Izzo's painful healing and support-for-survivors post-game weasel words weekend following retirement/resignation of school prez and AD. If Izzo has a "part-of-life" soul, he should donate his "sole" income (sneaker endorsement money) to victims of recruits he brought to campus (including post-MSU career) and/or help underwrite MSU paying ESPN's attorneys' fees after Michigan courts ruled the university violated open-records laws. Izzo's contacting witness before school in another sordid incident and unsettling silence was interrupted by seemingly rehearsed remarks such as "I can do whatever I want to do" resembling Slick Rick's smug trivialization during "get your fill in the Ville" than "we'll cooperate with any investigation and always have." Among the things a good Christian man like Izzo might "want to do" is religiously meet with FBI-indicted agent Christian Dawkins to go over their donation endeavors. For candor's sake, let us hope an undergraduate assistant coach didn't live in Izzo's basement completing his degree the season Izzo said he couldn't recall why a rare three-year captain exited the program. Was Izzo also unaware of captain/undergrad aide's child support order? By the way, what is the deal with becoming MSU captain or Final Four "playmaker" in the last 20 years? Did stress of duty contaminate Bridges, Mateen Cleaves, Charlie Bell, Travis Walton, Korie Lucious and Keith Appling or did they wash down idiot pills with toxic tap water from Flint? Something sinister surely is in state's water after Michigan and MSU each had an All-American with multiple Final Deplore appearances sued by women claiming they gave them herpes as NBA players. STD seems to have also infected fellow Big Ten Conference member Purdue if lawsuit involving center Isaac Haas had any merit. Enterprising engineering students apparently should have invested more time and energy helping Haas with a different pliable and protective appendage sleeve than designing brace for his fractured right elbow. What could possibly be the genesis for these raw animalistic instincts? UM physician Robert E. Anderson engaged in sexual misconduct (multiple forms of inappropriate examinations) with patients on countless occasions. Dr. "Drop Your Drawers" Anderson worked in various capacities at the university between 1966 and 2003. Other names by which student-athletes referred to him included "Handy Andy," "Goldfinger" and "Dr. Handerson."
After MSU's gymnastics coach was charged with lying about her knowledge of sexual assault complaints, Izzo exhibited similar lack of candor. Amid the airing-of-dirty-laundry debris including an "entitled" walk-on, it didn't appear prudent to put much stock in arousal-discretion dialogue from Earvin Johnson. But MSU's most famous alumnus (even more than ex-ESPN egomaniac #KneelWithJemele) lectured nation as if he was male version of Oprah by calling for the firing of any employee who failed to report sexual assault allegations on campus to the proper authorities. Consider the ravenous source insofar as Johnson admitted his Magical Mystery Tour sexual frivolity included sleeping with 300 to 500 partners per year (entertainment venue featured the Los Angeles Lakers' locker room and sauna). How many enablers resembling "Clintonistas" such as Betty "Hoover" Curry and former DePauw (Ind.) hooper Vernon Jordan, perhaps humming "Do You Believe in Magic?", facilitated indulgence over the decades of decadence? Of course, this great feat of Magic paled in comparison to legendary Wilt Chamberlain's community partnership claim to bedding 20,000 women from coast to coast before and after son of janitor left Philly to drive around the Kansas plains in a souped-up red and white Oldsmobile convertible (with license plate BIG DIPPER) not all that far from NCAA headquarters at the time. "I feel sorry for the Stilt," wrote New York Daily Mirror columnist Leonard Lewin. "When he enters the NBA, he'll have to take a cut in salary." Truth be told, the LA (Lay All) Lakers' debauchery and Olympian appetite for copulation likely didn't originate there; "littering" simply escalated on free-love Left Coast. Perhaps it is time to allow sanctuary-sick and homeless-infested California to go ahead and secede before U.S. version of salty Sodom and Gomorrah turns into bankrupted ruins. Don't look back!
Distributing pain to anyone with belief system, disturbing allegations at Louisville (Chris Jones), Kansas (multiple players) and Duke (Rasheed Sulaimon and Corey Maggette) had their celebrated coaches either making comments as incoherent as their scholars or hiding under their desk memorizing athletic department versions of pleading the fifth. Minnesota and West Virginia endured similar unseemly "violation-of-team-rules" situations in the mid-1980s. Ditto Arizona State in the mid-1990s and priorities across the country haven't improved. Consider an Inside Higher Ed article written about a Syracuse dean facing dismissal for refusing to cover up an assault of a female student on campus by basketball players. Elsewhere, a culture concerning abuse of females frequently goes unchecked at sports factories reminiscent of group assault charges at Arkansas under coaches Nolan Richardson and John Pelphrey resulting in Ray Rice-like initial modest sanctions. UA probably failed to meet #MeToo college-town investigation standards in wake of late summer 2009 frat-house party incident when prosecutor was son-in-law of former athletic director Frank Broyles and brother-in-law of athletic department spokesman. Did the tumult really change much under coach Mike Anderson, who also had more than his share of undignified problem children at Missouri before moving on to St. John's?
Only one in five college-aged female students report their assaults to law enforcement. There are words and there are actions as well as "tough" guys and "cool" guys in this criminal "no-means-no" emphasis. One-sided co-ed boxing apparently needs to get personal before the player-predator issue penetrates thick skulls in establishment media and cavalier campuses. For instance, ESPN college basketball analyst Dick Vitale, obsessed with "payday" and "cash" as always, tweeted he doesn't "dig actions away from ring but he (Floyd Mayweather Jr.) is an all-time great." Well, let's "dig" on one easy hipster wannabee layup straight from the grandstanding opening bell. Unless mindset of role model/ex-analyst Dancin' Ray contaminated network judgment across the sports spectrum including Screamin' A. Stiff, no one with an extensive history of domestic abuse charges such as misfit Mayweather should be designated an all-time great in any way, shape or form with or without a cover-your-fanny-like-commish qualifier. Ditto for Florida State's troubled Jameis Winston, who Vitale tweeted was "great to have on your side on Saturday" (at least until Nike severed its relationship with QB before promoting kneeling knucklehead #ColonKrapernick).
Presumably, Dickie V didn't mean late Saturday night with him and Uber driver or at any sort of Winston post-college game celebration leaving an accuser susceptible to dragging through the mud one way or the other (perhaps on a scooter). In a textbook example of Buc-kissing shilling, Vitale bragged about Shameless Jameis joining him at gala in Tampa Bay QB's first appearance as NFL player before the university settled with Winston's accuser for $950,000 in the spring of 2016. Methinks Vitale knows little, if anything, about FSU "football-fixer" associate AD who served time in prison for cocaine distribution. The general public's prevailing ignorance resembles failing to acknowledge the corrupt Clintons' "War on Women" exemplified by #Shrillary's faith advisor.
If the holier-than-thou press is so concerned about PC-police nickname changing, perhaps they should encourage schools to be more accurate with monikers such as Auburn Whore Eagles, Bailor Needed For Bad News Bears, Cincinnati Barely Can Read 'Cats, UConn Artists, Florida Maters, Florida State Sininoles, Georgetown Beatdowns, Indiana Booziers, Kansas Jailhawks, Louisville Slug-her Breaking Cardinal Rules, Memphis Mafia Malcontents, The U (as in "unsavory"), Michigan State Hard-ons, Minnesota Go-for-hers, Miz-zou Animals, UNCheat Tarrin (Gals in) Heels, Oklahoma Sinners, Syracuse Orange Jumpsuits, TCU Horny Dawgs, UNLV Sincredibles, USC Trojan Ultra Ribbed, X-rated Musketeers, etc. Wherever the #MessMedia and school administrators may have been in same veiled-secret toilet sweeping stench under sullied carpet, someone needs to finish the "movement" and flush them all! Emptying the excrement should include infected hangers-on although prosecutors declined to pursue charges against Baylor's former manager after his arrest early in 2017 on allegations of harassing two women via sexually-explicit social media messages. How could Baylor bear such bewildering behavior while boasting a director of sports ministry on staff? An "I'm-such-a-stud" mindset in culture breeding risky behavior goes way out of bounds to near epidemic proportions as an alarming number of conniving former college hoopers think they're still BMOC when hired by a high school district and victimize vulnerable females.
Amid the extensive flaws, can any of the journalistic jackals unearth whether "The Carolina (Academic) Way" for Raymond Felton and Ty Lawson included a rigorous African and Afro-American independent study course on how to treat the opposite sex, Africa's subjugation of females or discerning the origin of HIV and Ebola virus rather than the importance of Swahili language? If the scheme was solely for GPA boosting, Carolina's 2005 (10 of 15 members were AFAS majors with total of 35 "pretty doggone good" bogus classes over two semesters) and 2009 NCAA titles should of been in jeopardy of being vacated. But the UNC placed on probation for scholastic shenanigans was Northern Colorado; not Carolina. At the very least, for the sake of supplying a good chuckle to offset a portion of the angst, we should be entitled to digest a sampling of prose from those unread Prime Time 10-page papers (assigned mostly A grades with few B+ marks since a few players may have misspelled their names). UNC, admitting "regrettable actions," should have been sanctioned simply because disgraceful no-show classes came under umbrella of Center For Ethics apparently as unethical as seven-layered Comey and FBI toadies Baker/Clinesmith/McCabe/Page/Priestap/Strzok.
UNC paid over $21 million in assorted costs dealing with the scholastic scandal but that exorbitant fee might have been an affordable expense insofar as there was significant savings over these many years when no faculty was necessary to actually provide instruction for bogus book-work. Rather than learning classy pass fakes on the court, the courted players passed by "learning" in fake classes. It's no excuse but, if the let's-not-dwell-on-the-negative media would get off its royal cushion, how many other schools across the nation have comparable compromising courses? A polluted program under current coach Richard Pitino, who brought in troubled transfers Reggie Lynch and Daquein McNeil, isn't exactly virgin territory among power-league members. The Gophers have "hole" history featuring a former Minnesota tutor claiming she wrote or helped write more than 400 papers or pieces of coursework for in excess of 20 Gophers players in the mid-1990s, multiple pre-Lynch/pre-#AlFrankenstein prospects-turned-suspects (Courtney James/Mitchell Lee/Trevor Mbakwe/Royce White) and recent out-of-control athletic director. After academic anemia decades ago involving Creighton's Kevin Ross taking rigorous courses such as theory of baseball and ceramics, the NCAA should remember: "If you don't stand for something (such as higher scholastic standards), you'll fall for anything (excessive number of criminals)." If NCAA movers and shakers didn't do anything meaningful back then addressing scholastic shenanigans, why would we expect them to do something now such as condemn Auburn's class clustering? In this charade, many of the recruits contemptible coaches and media butt kissers drool upon are "self-reliant students" as much as culpable kids of actress Lori Loughlin/Aunt Becky are "authentic athletes."
How in Heel is having athletic department personnel steering players into sham classes for 18 years not, at its core curriculum, a textbook definition of "lack of institutional control?" When will ESPN get to the bottom of the chicanery yielding answers via another orchestrated interview with former coach Roy Williams serving as master of "really-bothered-by-whole-thing" ceremonies featuring backdrop of supportive ex-players? ESPN should have just gone ahead and issued Williams' support group "Game Day" posters for their little pep rally at former big boss' alma mater. Network could have called charade, appearing as if it was created by coke-head Rolling Stone editor, Skipper's short three-hour tour. What most media outlets skip over is the disgusting percentage of prize prospects becoming prime predatory suspects in abusing underage females (including after they leave college).
How difficult would it have been for Williams, instead of pleading educational mission ignorance, to take a few minutes per semester assessing academic progress of each of his players? Didn't he acknowledge there was "class clustering" early in his Carolina head coaching tenure? It is the height of hypocrisy for him and other DI mentors/"fathers" to have a contract bonus provision stemming from APR/graduation rates. Will UNC encourage him to apologize to whistle-blower tutor Mary "Just Keep My Players Eligible" Willingham? Didn't Williams figuratively punch her (triggering death threats in aftermath of additional administration admonishments) by impugning Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary's character saying her illiteracy claims were untrue and totally unfair about a striking number of scholars boasting middle-school reading skills? Said Willingham prior to settling a lawsuit with UNC for $335,000 (about $1,000 per basketball player enrollment in paper class minus attorneys' fees): "I went to a lot of basketball games in the Dean Dome, but Roy never came and sat with me while I tutored his guys." Naturally, the first step to academic-anemia recovery at reformatory is admitting you're a huge hypocrite. Heaven help us if Williams' "sad-time" excuses and pleading ignorance about suspension of guard Jalek Felton - most heralded member of freshman class for defending NCAA champion - are typical of the coaching community level of interest in authentic advancement toward a genuine diploma.
Which is worse - free grades/dean's list for not even attending rogue class (see Rashad McCants), free abuse of female tutor or free rental cars for top returning scorer (P.J. Hairston) linked to an ex-convict? An absence of press accountability in the Carolinas probably is why a Democratic male running for statewide office can chuckle after calling a Republican female sitting governor a "whore." What we have here is a failure to exhibit standards; not so much an inability to thoroughly discuss the (physical and/or verbal) beat-down topic and appease the all-women sports gabfest "We Need to Talk" on CBS. The coaches' Sgt. Schultz "I-know-nothing" routine is insulting spit because they usually know when a regular takes an irregular dump. The NFL and NBA likely will announce policies "to do more," but when will colleges and the media do likewise to mitigate Sharia Law-like malignant message dumping on women? Instead, we get Kansas' Selfless coach creatively saying one of his Adidas-adoring players involved in school probe was "ill" upon missing a couple of games. Truth be told, the sport will remain "sick" if scholastic standards aren't raised while "educators of men" focus more on assembling megaconferences.
The NCAA should embrace the Nwagwu Rules of Engagement. Jackson State guard Chuck Nwagwu's father, a professor at the school, forced the part-time starter to quit the Tigers' team in 1996-97 after receiving a grade of C in two classes. "I am an academician," said the elder Nwagwu. "My job is to educate young black men. That should be the primary objective. Basketball is secondary." Nwagwu's dad also made him move out of the dormitory and canceled his meal tickets. "I had to impress him that school comes first," the Nigerian native said. "He thinks he's going to be the next Michael Jordan." Regrettably, JSU didn't last long as beacon of integrity among HBCU institutions as seven players were arrested five years later and charged with sexual abuse.
What is it about punks flourishing at sports that makes adults fall all over themselves making excuses for abhorrent behavior infecting the sport? Amid the pimpish compartmentalization, there are also "clever" outfits such as Oregon stemming from its timing in waiting to expel three players implicated in an alleged sexual assault in order to avoid a reduction in its Academic Progress Rate score before reaching 2017 Final Four with another player under comparable criminal investigation. Telephone records clearly convey Oregon athletic officials including coach Dana Altman were concerned about a recent recruit and NCAA gumshoes should be, too, instead of whether an assistant coach refereed a scrimmage. Meanwhile, fellow Pac-12 Conference member California adopted a stricter admissions policy when it comes to academics and Indiana embraced a no-admittance policy regarding previous indiscretions. Will Cal and IU set a nationwide trend for increased scholastic and decorum standards or will majority of universities duck the issue? Not if their on-court performances this season are any barometer or the condescending NCAA headquarters remains much more concerned about Indian nicknames and transgender restrooms than ending licking of dames. Can the NCAA, featuring a president informed at the start of this decade about MSU mayhem, at least encourage its members to consider utilizing Norway's syllabus teaching Muslim male migrants how to treat non-veiled women? At times such as Evansville firing coach Walter McCarty midway through 2019-20 season amidst a Title IX probe into alleged sexual misconduct, the ethically-bankrupt atmosphere doesn't appear to be much better at mid-major schools. St. Francis (N.Y.) had two different teammates busted for sex abuse on back-to-back days in early 2014 and an alleged cover-up at North Texas is equally disturbing.
It was a bizarre Halloween(ie) at mid-major Detroit in 2012 when athletic director Keri Gaither and assistant coach Derek Thomas resigned stemming from their extramarital, interracial affair. Ex-Baylor standout Carlos Briggs, another aide under coach Ray McCallum, was the anonymous whistle-blower before his identity was compromised and he was also dismissed. According to lawsuit filed by Briggs, UD players would observe former Western Illinois head coach Thomas slip into Gaither's hotel room after the team's curfew during road games, triggering them to leave their rooms to go stand outside the door to Gaither's room, giggling while they listened to zesty sounds of Gaither and Thomas apparently getting busy. No word if they discerned whether Titan condoms were utilized.
Speaking of "tough, cool and clever" guys resembling deranged DeNiro, Mayweather told CNN that "only God can judge me." But let's play The Almighty role and make things personal prior to enablers going on their merry way "earning" academic-anemia "dollars" off the next round of ill-equipped recruits. Father-figure coaches masquerading as social workers who persuade admissions offices to enroll some of the "exception" vermin should be sued by victims if the abuse is campus connected under their stewardship. As for the #MessMedia (student newspaper had to step up to the plate at Duke), perhaps Vitale's next illuminating book should be "You're Awful, Baby! With a Capital A!: 100 Players I Praised as Great But Glad My Daughters Didn't Date." Striving to avoid turning a blind eye to problem like so many in the press, below we'll give his researchers a head start on the EBOLA (Excessive Beatings are Outlandish of Ladies by Athletes) plague with robust list of scholars to assess en route to him setting a Guinness Book of World Records for most basketball volumes he didn't write, yet having name on covers as author.
Research shows that arrests of college athletes are more than double those of pros. Former Duke starter Jay Bilas has experiential ACC knowledge competing against colorful North Carolina State coach Jim Valvano's suspect squads (735 average SAT score - featuring Chris Washburn at 470 - and excessive number of positive drug tests during the 1980s). While pondering rigorous courses washout Washburn somehow passed to remain academically eligible for more than one season, a cold-blooded question surfaces as to whether the academic anemia at UNC is worse than what occurred at N.C. State, which probably gains the negative nod if only because of Washburn teammate Charles Shackleford's following animal-expert quote: "Left hand, right hand, it doesn't matter. I'm amphibious." The "A" in "bring your A-game" in an old ACC ad apparently didn't stand for academics.
If bookish Bilas genuinely knows self-evaluation "toughness" beyond "if they (coaches) knew," the policy wonk will maneuver upstream and shift his passion from lambasting the NCAA about paying these gentlemen and scholars to a lawyer-like focus on stopping the NCAA from preying on players who have little to no business representing universities because they aren't authentic student-athletes (although "Sullen-man" was still enrolled as student when allegations against him surfaced). Granted, such an academic-values modification will translate into an inferior product for him and his network to promote (and for walk-on-water luminaries such as Jim Boeheim, Calipari, Bob Huggins, Izzo plus Rick Pitino to coach for that matter). But does a mediocre Duke player such as Lance Thomas need more than $30,000 as down payment on jewelry? What about multiple Memphis players reporting they were robbed of more than $66,000 worth of vital items for Calipari-coached college students (mink coats, diamond earrings, stereo equipment, flat-screen TV)? Ask CIA jurisprudence jackal John Brennan!
Moreover, Syracuse's Boeheim wouldn't have an opportunity to be "impressed" about one-and-done Carmelo Anthony's 1.8 gpa before failing to mention if Anthony attended more classes than games his second semester. Did Melo mellow out in Orange-hot Child and Family Studies en route to underwriting Cuse's hoops centerpiece (The Melo Center)? No word yet from blow-hard Boeheim after former Orange hooper/NFL quarterback Donovan McNabb was accused of sexual harassment by a former female colleague at the NFL Network and discarded by ESPN. At least the win-at-all-costs mentality is gender neutral as goalie Hope Solo flew above the Soccer Wars like Han Solo and school spirit took on a whole new meaning among Coastal Carolina's cheerleaders. More coaches are becoming members of the Garbage Collectors Guild as they don't give a rat's ass about anything beyond winning a few more games. What quality of classes could possibly be taken in college by mercenary professional-caliber athletes if a mind-numbing 60% of NBA players file for bankruptcy five years after retirement? Symbolic of a normal DI rescue-mission campaign, more than 50 people were arrested in a sex trafficking sting operation during Final Four weekend in Minneapolis several seasons ago. Instead of paying athletes, just let "sperminator" stallions have free erectile access to on-campus brothels.
In a 2015 sexcapade, a former recruit said he felt as if "I was in a strip club" when visiting Louisville. Georgia Tech apparently felt comfortable transporting impressionable high school prospect directly to jiggle joint. It's almost time to hit Ctrl-Alt-Delete and reboot nearly everything about the sport. A striking number of prominent schools (down to Florida, LSU and Oregon first week of new year not long ago before LSU "won" commitment) recruited power forward Emmitt Williams, who was arrested the previous fall in Florida on sexual battery and false imprisonment charges before charges were dismissed just before Christmas. Zach Harvey, a prize prep prospect in Kansas, pleaded no contest to two misdemeanor crimes (endangering a child and breach of privacy) after facing two felony sex crime charges stemming from an alleged incident in March 2017 involving two other teens and an underage girl. Amid a scholastic schedule laden with decidedly non-academic courses, personal character flaws didn't surface solely upon reaching the professional level and power-league members unscathed by female battery are clearly in the minority.
Immersed in an era fraught with human debris devoid of moral compass, ORU committed athletic program suicide during the previous decade when mandating the Titans, who averaged 22 victories annually in their first six seasons at the NCAA DI level in the 1970s, could only sign players without tattoos and new recruits would have to take a "faith exam" as well. Facing unvarnished truth, all hormonal basketball roads seem to lead to liberal lunacy including "tolerant" fans condoning shameless womanizing comparable to Los Angeles Lakers zealot Jack Nicholson. As many local and national press heads should roll as incompetent school administrators if there is anything close to equivalence of their overall hear-no-evil, see-no-evil and speak-no-evil oversight. While much of the lame-stream media looks the other way like referee in waning moments seeking blowout contest to conclude as soon as possible, following are vital facts on what really is outside the lines since ESPN came on the scene in the late 1970s and CBS assumed control of March Madness. High-profile commentators, appearing as if they were drugged, aimlessly address relevant "no-means-no" issues about as much as Cosby and Izzo answered pertinent inquiries. Celebrated coaches such as Altman, Boeheim, Izzo, Greek philosopher Pitino and many of their peers never will "get it" until they're hit in the pocketbook or, God forbid, their daughters are victimized by a cretin. Compare how much power conference/prominent mid-major player air-time was given to "singing the praises" of the following alphabetical list of Three-S "Men" (Stupid, Sin-tillating and Sin-sational) to how much gutless wonders devoted to elaborating on their Hoop Hall of Shame misdeeds against women or offering solutions preventing exploitation of such derelict student-athletes even if the quality of basketball is reduced and might negatively affect ratings, endorsement deals, speaking engagement fees, charity donations or circulations of periodicals:

"If we have one of those cases (sexual assault), that's very problematic," pious NCAA President Mark Emmert told USA Today while five of every six universities refused to provide disciplinary records to the publication's network for a "Predator Pipeline" profile despite federal law giving schools explicit permission to provide such information. Question for Emmert: How about hundreds of cases plus one? If they bother to digest this lengthy list (including murders) or discern how often local "Mr.-Fix-It" go-to defense attorney is utilized by athletes, it might be time for four-million-dollar-a-year Emmert and shameful thumb-sucking university presidents to emerge from fetal position in their ivory towers, cease deliberate indifference and finally add a few paragraphs citing penalties for sexual misconduct to 440-page rules book. More to the point, how about elevating scholastic standards to emphasize genuine student-athletes less likely to be involved in sordid activities? Let's face it: Stupid people do dumb things. A correlation connecting delinquency of college cagers and soft-on-crime mindset is certainly an inconvenient truth requiring better leadership than insulated higher-education parasites and lame-stream #MessMedia leeches; not to mention grievance-industry NBA players probably supporting the aforementioned list as much as social scholars do common criminals in #Dimorat-dominated municipalities such as Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Detroit, District of Columbia, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Memphis, Minneapolis, New Orleans, New York City, Philadelphia, Portland, St. Louis, San Francisco, Seattle, state of Wisconsin, etc. Even worse are college campuses infected by progressive puke as genesis for every idiotic idea nation is combating.
