    CalTech, one of the most prestigious, if not THE most prestigious, ACADEMIC institutions in the world, the one where even the guy getting a C is smarter than the All-Academic team put together, is getting sanctioned? Yeah, CalTech was cheating to gain a recruiting advantage. Someone needs to use the NCAA Tourney funds to at least create a BS filter position. Clueless. Ridiculous. Plain stupid. Someone needs to put the NCAA out of its misery NOW.

    Paging Mr. Cuban, please put the 21st Century version of the NIT together pronto so that the NCAA become irrelevant.

    Cal Tech isn't making money for the NCAA.

    How can they not be considered "in class" when they are actually attending classes?

    Not to mention, who is the NCAA to decide on a school's class schedule? If a school only wants a 12-week semester instead of a 15-week one, who is the NCAA to tell them otherwise?

    Oh yeah, and how are the "athlete-students" receiving an extra benefit for this when ... this program is for EVERY STUDENT?"

    Shit like this is why the NCAA is a total fucking joke.

    It would also do the NCAA justice if the Cal-Tech students hacked into their computers and put their "football team" in the NCAA Tournament.

    If the NCAA isn't careful, Cal Tech students are going to invent a time machine and make it so the organization was never formed.

    I remember Indiana football got a secondary violation in the late 1990s because players were drinking hot chocolate in study hall that they had obtained from outside the coaches offices.

    Someone in charge of eliminating bs in the NCAA would put the NCAA out of business in 5 ... 4 ... 3 ....

    The logical extension of this penalty as applied to Penn State is basically to order that every administrator, student and alumnus of the school be put to death.

    Cleveland State just breathed a sigh of relief and doesn't know why.

    Banning Caltech from postseason events is like banning Anderson Cooper from a whorehouse.
