More scumbaggery.

Guy returns to school instead of signing with the Phillies and the Phillies rat him out. Of course, this happened last summer (about the time Johnny Football was signing autographs) and the NCAA still hasn't resolved this.

Would we be having this conversation if the Italian restaurants in Oklahoma had an "all you can eat" pasta night like some here in New Jersey do?

They've got Italian restaurants in Oklahoma. They're authentic too. Different kinds of pasta and sauces. I think they're called Olive Gardens.

Meanwhile, the NCAA has suspended Oregon State pitcher Ben Wetzler for supposedly having an advisor with him while he was negotiating with the Phillies last year. He was a 5th-round draft choice, and turned them down. Even though this is standard practice for every college junior/high school senior, the NCAA rules on it are hazy and the Phillies broke an unwritten MLB rule and blew him and Washington State's Jason Monda, their 6th round pick who also did not sign, into the NCAA.

Monda was cleared the day before the season started. Wetzler's case has not been resolved, even though the NCAA has been investigating since NOVEMBER, and he's sitting out this weekend too. Apparently the NCAA can somehow clear Johnny Football and Cam Newton in 48 hours despite very credible evidence of extra benefits, but it takes more than five months to figure out Wetzler's case.

Fuck the NCAA, for not allowing draft picks to have advisors to protect their interests, and fuck the Phillies too.

Of everything the NCAA does, that baseball thing is the worst -- acting like 20-year-olds facing the biggest decision of their lives should just go in there with their parents and nobody else and negotiate against seasoned team executives with all the power. Wasn't someone suing the NCAA about that a couple years ago?

Careful now. One extra piece of lettuce and it's three years probation. Add a crouton and it's the death penalty.

Oklahoma served so much extra pasta the NCAA put Cleveland State on probation.
