College athletics departments routinely invoke a 1974 student-privacy law to conceal information about the inner workings of their sports programs, keeping the public in the dark about violations of NCAA rules governing the $5-billion-a-year enterprise.


"It just goes to show that whatever the rules, cheaters will always find a way around them, especially if the stakes are high.  The current system ... long since ceased being collegiate.

What we now see is just a shill for the professional leagues promoted for a largely self serving clique of highly paid coaches, sports administrators, and media elite.

University administrations, which should be keeping a tight rein, actually encourage the abuse. So much for academic 'leadership' and integrity." -- CW
