The NCAA is at it Again

Three years ago the NCAA forced the University of North Dakota to drop their Fighting Sioux nickname and logo...And while the University is trying to figure out what change the nickname and logo to, Alumni, students and fans, have yet to fully embrace the passing of their history...

So the cunts at the NCAA have piped up again, with a threat to North Dakota athletics...the NCAA has told the school that if a competing team were to file a complaint about fans continuing the use of ‘Fighting Sioux’ or ‘Sioux’ in chants, like in the anthem ending, “and the home of the Sioux!,"  the NCAA could sanction the athletic teams.

“Schools can be held accountable for their fans’ actions/behavior at school events,” said Gail Dent, the NCAA’s associate director of public and media relations...

University of North Dakota spokesman, Peter Johnson knows it will be hard for fans to except and embrace a new nickname/logo...Johnson made it clear that the school does not want to tell fans what they can and can't say and wear, as many fans still wear the classic Sioux logo...

“The president has said pretty consistently that people can certainly wear what they want to wear and say what they want to say within the bounds of, well, the kinds of things you can say.”

It was bad enough when the NCAA forced UND to drop their name...And that logo...One of the best in all of sports...And North Dakota was forced to be without nickname for 3 years...Somehow it was figured this would give the fan-base a cooling off period...Yeah, right...When was the last time you saw some one cool off and be okay after you fucked them in the ass, when they didn't want your money-grubbing-politically-correct-bullshit cock in their ass!?!

The NCAA picks and chooses who they screw over...No problem with criminals at Florida State and their Seminoles mascot/logo/nickname...UND had backing of multiple Sioux tribes, yet the nickname/log was deemed "hostile and abusive."  by the NCAA...The logo which was designed by Bennett Brien, a local artist and UND graduate of Ojibwa ethnicity....

The NCAA also picks and chooses what to take stands on...Student athletes who literally can't fucking read, at North Carolina are getting passing grades so they can play Football and Basketball...Student athletes can't except a free lunch from a coach, even if they can't afford to eat...But the NCAA is worried about nicknames...

This is the idiot shit they do...Just like politicians...'Look at this shiny thing over here, ignore the real issuses.'

They make a stink about something dumb, all in an attempt to distract us from the fact that they are a multi-billion dollar corporation making all that money on the backs of their unpaid employees! 

 The NCAA is said to be a non-profit organization that regulates college athletics...It was created to help, and protect the student athlete after major injuries and deaths had been occurring on the football field during the early 20th century, which was leading Universities to kill off their programs... 

I truly love college sports...But it gets a harder and harder each year to support this mess...the governing body is only worried about padding their bank accounts...The Universities have the same mindset...Is it any wonder you here so many college athletes saying, "I gotta get mine!"

As for UND...The school has been going through the process of adopting a new nickname...The list is now down to five....Fighting Hawks, North Stars, Nodaks, Roughriders and Sundogs. UND president Robert Kelley has also suggested the no nickname option after a large backlash of fans, students and alumni felt that was the best way to go...Either Fighting Sioux or no Fighting Sioux is their feeling...

The Beeze's College Football Wrap Up (9-16-12)

I WROTE Friday night about Notre Dame linebacker, Manti Te'o staying with his team, to play Michigan State Saturday night, even though Tuesday his grandmother died, and Wednesday his girlfriend died...I don't know how he did it...I don't think I'd be able to handle it...But he did...He went out and lead his defense into holding #10 Michigan State to just 3 points...He had 12 tackles, broke up 2 passes, and intercepted a lateral late in the game...It was an amazing effort...

But he wasn't alone...The Notre Dame front 7, no matter which 7 were out there, were all over MSU QB, Andrew Maxwell, who was forced to drop back more then MSU would like, but the Irish defense shut down running back Le'Veon Bell...

The Irish offense was aggressive in the first half, and QB Everrett Golson showed some real flashes of brilliance...But the second half, Kelly held the O back, and called a conservative game, not letting his young QB get into bad situations...The Irish lead by an outstanding defensive performance, won 20-3...

This week's big upset...#21 Stanford and their typical gritty performance beat #2 USC 21-14...Giving Trojan QB Matt Barkley a 0-4 record against the Cardinal...Barkley opened the season as many people's favorite for the Heisman (not me) threw for 254 yards and 2 Interceptions...I think this just killed his Heisman and National Title chances...Oh, can I just say that Lane Kiffin is such an overrated douchebag!

Last week's victim of a major upset, Arkansas had a tough task trying to rebound from their loss to UL Monroe, by taking on #1 Alabama...Worse yet, they had to do it without their starting QB who is still dealing with the ringing bells in his head from last week...Well, Arkansas didn't show much fight, getting destroyed 52-0...

And speaking of UL Monroe...They put another scare into another SEC school this week...The Warhawks came back late, lead by QB Kolton Browning to tie Auburn 28-28, forcing the game to overtime...Browning passed for 237 yards and 3 TD's, while also rushing for 58 yards and another TD...Unfortunately The Warhawks OT field goal was deflected, and Auburn's Cody Parkey knocked in a 35 yard field goal to win it...But after the last two weeks, no one will be looking past UL Monroe...And maybe some scouts will start looking at this Browning kid...

There was another Sun Belt team that was feeling good Saturday night...Western Kentucky went into Lexington to take on the Kentucky Wildcats...Now I know as far as the SEC is concerned, Kentucky is garbage...But to little Western Kentucky, this game means a lot...In state rival...A SEC team...A team they've never beaten...

Well, that changed Saturday...The Hilltoppers left everything on the field, as they beat Kentucky 32-31 in overtime...The Wildcats scored a TD in the first OT...The Hilltoppers came back and RB Antonio Andrews scored a TD...But coach Willie Taggart wasn't going to put his defense out on the field again...He went for it all...Quarterback Kawaun Jakes threw a lateral to Andrews, who threw back to Jakes who ran it in for the two-point conversion, and the win...That people, is what you call having balls!

The Ohio University Bobcats opened their season 3-0 after beating Marshall 27-24...Once again the Bobcats were lead by their QB Tyler Tettleton, who threw for 200 yards and 3 TD's...Ohio's normally tough defense gave up 432 passing yards but came up with a late interception to seal the deal...The D will have to improve if they want to roll through the MAC undefeated...

Another upset Saturday happened in Pittsburgh, as #13 Virginia Tech came to pay the 0-2 Panthers visit...Little did they know the Panthers were going to punch them in the mouth, as Pitt rolled to a 35-17 victory...Va Tech QB Logan Thomas threw 3 interceptions between picking himself up off the turf...After two weeks of looking like shit, Pitt got back to their roots and played some hard nosed football...Maybe they wanted to put the ACC on notice since they'll be leaving the Big lEast along with Syracuse after this year...

(And yes, I'll have plenty in Monday Moaning about ND going partially to the ACC)

In what I expected to be a good ACC match up, #5 Florida State took o Wake Forest...As a matter of fact, in my gambling days, I would have taken Wake w/ the points...Well, it didn't end up being that good of a game, as FSU blew Wake out 52-0...This game was all about Florida State' Chris Thompson...A year after he suffered a broken back in a loss at Wake Forest, the 5 foot 8 inch, 185 pound RB ran for 197 yards and 2 TD's on 9 carries...His TD runs were 74 yards, and 80 yards...Holy SHIT! Great for him!

And yes LSU fan...Way to go...Your team beat Idaho 63-14...Don't get so excited...That's what LSU is suppose to do, right? Wow, I can't wait until they take on Towson in 2 weeks...But at least they'll have a real game at Auburn next week...

In Utah, the third time is a charm...As the Utah players and fans stormed the field 3 times...Yes, 3 times...They had thought they had #25 BYU beaten, but replay showed 1 second left...They cleared the field...BYU lined up for a long filed goal(somewhere around 50 yards)...The kick is blocked, and the field is stormed again...But players and fans were charging onto the field while the ball was still live, as a BYU player had scooped up the ball and was trying to advance it...So, clear the field...Tack on 15 yards...One un-timed play...BYU sets up for a 36 yard field goal...Ball is up, looks good, hooks a bit, hits the upright...Finally! Game over! Utah wins in an exciting game...So exciting it ended 3 times!

Locally, here in a great OAC Rivalry, the Baldwin Wallace Yellow Jackets beat the John Carroll Blue Streaks 32-28 at Don Shula Stadium...It was BW's first win at Shula stadium since 1998...

That's it for now...see ya Monday!

Later, The Beeze.
