Sandusky committed a heinous crime, and was rightfully (finally) convicted ... the clowns running the NCAA apparently don't know what to do with that!

I find the NCAA really doesn't do anything at all besides screwing with the eligibility of players who try to leave schools they don't fit-it. If a school self-sanctions itself, the NCAA pretty much gives a rubber stamp.

As far as leagues, playoffs, tournaments, games... those are all organized mostly by the respective leagues and/or committees like bowl committees or BCS.

You ask yourself WTF do they do???

I've always thought it rather hypocritical that highly-paid college coaches can move from school-to-school basically anytime a better offer is on the table, yet the players - who ultimately bring in millions of dollars - must sit a year, or transfer to a lower division.
