Is the NCAA hiding something with Alabama penalties?

In case you haven’t heard, Louisiana-Monroe beat Alabama in football two years ago.  So did Florida International.

The victories were earned today when Alabama had a large hammer brought down on their heads, as sixteen different Alabama sports were found to be in violation of NCAA rules and regulations, and a massive amount of wins by the Tide have been wiped off the books over the past few years.

Alabama will be forced to vacate 21 football wins that came under the watch of former coach Mike Shula and current coach Nick Saban, the university said in a release.

The football program, which will not lose future scholarships, and the other 15 teams have been put on three years’ probation — the third probation penalty for university athletics in the past decade. Alabama also was ordered to pay a $43,900 fine.

Bama’s probation will last until 2012.

But here’s where I think the NCAA is hiding something….the violations were all in relation to athletes illegally and improperly receiving textbooks for classes.  I believe the infractions are surrounding something far more nefarious.

Ask yourself this – do you REALLY believe that Alabama athletes actually know how to read, let alone use textbooks, let alone go to CLASS?  Need I remind you, the state of Alabama has a failing grade according to the US Chamber Of Commerce.

These kids can barely piss their own pants, let alone decipher what a textbook is used for.  Which leads us to the obvious question;

What is the NCAA hiding?????
