    Pryor raises complaint against the NCAA’s decision to adopt Proposition 16 to purposefully improve graduation rates among black student athletes. Proposition 16 is a neutral policy that requires incoming freshman that want to participate in NCAA athletics to maintain certain requirements as a high school graduate. These standards under Proposition 16 include the number of core classes raised from 11 to 13, an additional two elective courses, completion of four years of English compared to three, and a sliding scale for SAT/ACT scores combined with a student’s GPA that follows accordingly, the…

    The movie of The Blind Side attempted to mimic the book as much as possible, however there were noticeable choices that the director made that changed the presentation of the movie compared to the picture that the book created. One of the main choices was to cut out a lot of the football facts that were presented in the book. Throughout the book, numerous chapters were dedicated to talking about the history of the importance of the left tackle and other players in the game, but in the movie, almost all of those scenes were cut out. This made the movie move faster unlike the book which was slow moving at times.…

    In 1987 the National Collegiate Athletic Association (N.C.A.A.) placed its harshest football punishment in history on Southern Methodist University (S.M.U.). The repeat violator rule, also known as the “death penalty,” banned the college from playing football for all of the 1987 and only allowed to play seven games in its 1988 season. They used S.M.U. as an example of what could happen when a college excessively violates N.C.A.A. regulations. The death penalty was the last option for the university because they were already on probation for past major violations with N.C.A.A. ("SMU Football Gets," 1987, p. 1C). The only thing left of S.M.U. after receiving ‘death’ was pick up the pieces and they are still trying to put the sport back together after so many years.…

    Reggie Bush Scandal

    • 3781 Words
    • 16 Pages

    “What happened to the days young children could look up to their sports heroes with pride and think that they someday would want to be just like them?”, (Finnegan 4). This question is now being asked more often than ever. The sports stars we look up to and admire are surrounded by talks of cheating. One prime example of this happening is the case of Reggie Bush. Reggie Bush was a running back at the University of Southern California. At USC, he acquired many awards and he broke many records. Bush, along with Coach Pete Carroll, led USC to the top of the college football world (Gray 3). On January 4, 2005, USC defeated Oklahoma in the BCS National Championship 55-19. Bush accounted 149 total yards (Timeline 4). On December 11, 2005, Bush won the Heisman Trophy. He received the second most first-place votes in the award’s history, second behind OJ Simpson (Timeline 18). On January 4, 2006, Bush and USC lost to Vince Young and the Texas Longhorns 41-38 in the BCS National Championship game. Bush, however, accounted for 279 total yards and one touchdown (Timeline 21). Bush is alleged to have taken money and illegal benefits from multiple sources during his USC career. These allegations were viewed by the NCAA and were determined to be true. Therefore, USC encountered many penalties, which were considered by many too harsh. The NCAA says that they wanted to make an example of Bush and USC.…

    1986 Ncaa Death Penalty

    • 1922 Words

    It’s game night: the two opposing teams fight for a spot to play every college football or team player’s dream: a bowl game and the chance to be champions. To create a victorious team, college athletic boosters travel all around the state recruiting the best players to attend their school and play on their team. What goes on behind the closed doors of recruiting world though, can change the way students and spectators look at the game of college football. Athletic boosters who bribe incoming college freshman to play for their university are subject to a punishment called the “Death Penalty”, a punishment for a one season team probation from engaging in any game play. In the early 1980’s, a university from Texas rose from the shadows and soon became the best team in the Southwest Conference, with a 45-4-1 record. What contributed to their victory included complimentary residences and automobiles, with some monetary reward for every win in the season. The Southern Methodist University 1986 “Death Penalty” was a fair punishment because during the season, SMU Athletic Boosters cheated the system by bribing the best players and having government figures getting involved, yet the effects of the death penalty raises speculation about whether SMU was guilty of receiving the death penalty.…

    Collegiate football is a rapidly growing business that influences culture, participants and spectators. The role of National College Athletic Association (NCAA) is to ensure that all teams follow the instructions of the game and hold high standards of established moral and ethical code of conduct and ethics. NCCA failed to prevent the scandals at the University of Arkansas, Ohio State, and Penn State (Ferrell & Fraedrich, 2016). In Penn state, NCAA failed to protect the interest of all the stakeholders and the misconduct that occurred of sexual assaults of eight young boys for many years by a former assistant coach. In Ohio state scandal, NCAA were not aware for nine months for student athletes and subsequent cover by the coach for receiving benefits and supply for cash and tattoos. In University of Arkansa, NCAA failed to notice early the questionable behaviors of coach Petrino who had conflict of interest that he did not disclose and the university favored winning games over ethical behavior (Ferrell & Fraedrich, 2016).…

    If you were on the football team for Ole Miss, you didn’t know what to think. With everything going on and the season about to start, you don’t know what to think. Things are going crazy. Football player, Buck Randall, who saw the worst parts of the riots and attempted to stop them. And it was football that both acted as a point of pride for Mississippians, “We’ve got to show the world that we’re not all bad,” head coach Johnny Vaught told the team before a game against Houston, and pointed out the lack of true equality shown to Meredith, who couldn’t even attend football games because of safety concerns. These distractions were hard to deal with as a team, but their coach was right, they should show that they were better than everyone thought they were and that they were not that bad.…
