The NCAA Okays Cheating

NCAA Chooses to Protect Its Power at All Costs

The NCAA has always operated like an organized criminal operation or a dictatorship. They only care about two things: their power and money. Their power has been slowly eroding for years, and that process has only accelerated since they’ve not been able to keep robbing young football and basketball players blind like they had for nearly a century. With their actual power crumbling, the veneer of power has become the new importance.

Remember, perception is everything. They had their biggest cheating scandal in the history of their organization right in front of them, and despite issuing a guilty verdict, they only sentenced the culprit to pay a fine. The question then becomes, why? Why, despite having a slam dunk case to punish cheaters and reiterate their authority, did the NCAA punt? Because those who trust authority (the dinosaurs at the NCAA think there are many more of them than there are in 2025), this stops more questions from being asked.

The Questions the NCAA Fears

If the NCAA came crashing down on Michigan for the biggest cheating scandal in college sports history, it would have hurt itself just as much as the Ann Arbor Astros. Because the questions then resume. If a national championship becomes officially revoked (it already is in reality, officially or otherwise), the next questions strike the crippling blow. “Hey, NCAA. Since Michigan cheated so badly, why didn’t you do something about it in the middle of the 2023 season when the truth came out?”

The answer is because they would have had to either say that the rules that colleges and conferences agreed upon don’t really allow for them to enforce in real time, or that they didn’t want to risk rocking the boat by pushing the limits of the insane amount of bureaucratic crap they have sat upon for decades. Either course of action would require them to answer the question that, when it is finally asked, will doom them.

“If you can’t enforce the rule in real time and there is so much red tape and bureaucratic nonsense holding you back, then what is the point of your organization?” That is the question the NCAA NEVER wants to hear asked on a large level. Because they have no answer. When rich and powerful organizations are discovered to be pointless, they’re eventually removed. This is why I never believed Michigan would face justice, because this has been the defining characteristic of the NCAA.
