Uhhh, maybe you forgot but the subject of this thread has to do with the government intervention into the NCAA, the main crux of what has been discussed here for the past many years relating to Bradley basketball and the Missouri Valley Conference. If the feds are trying to manipulate how the NCAA runs their business, then of course we have to talk about the politics related to this! This could effect how the NCAA is run and how teams from mid-major conferences are chosen for the postseason. So no matter how "old" this subject is to you, this is current news. Not much of a way around this I'm afraid. If you don't want to talk about this subject then don't participate in this particular thread, that's all.
And regarding your earlier post in this thread, yes, we all agree that there are a LOT of problems in how the NCAA runs their organization. But that still does not give the government the right to waste time dealing with the NCAA (or other pro sports for that matter) while the economy is teetering on the edge of a double dip recession due to high gas prices and taxes.
I really think the government at all levels have a lot better things to do with their time.
