Happens every year.

Unfortunately prowess at running into people on grass with pads on, doesn't translate into excellence at regurgitating BS in a classroom.

The NCAA did a great job of dragging it's feet when it came to Reggie Bush and USC. Now it looks like an ugly public court case will bring it all to light, and make the NCAA look incompetent in the process.
