‘Josephine Potuto, a University of Nebraska law professor and former chair of the NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions from 2006 to 2008, said the idea of a sanctioned coach becoming a university president is “unprecedented.” She characterized Tressel’s violations as “very significant.”’

Get used to it. Socialism used to be the “historical inevitability.” That didn’t work out too well. Football and basketball coaches as university presidents will happen. Anyone who looks at American universities can see it coming, and you don’t need to be a fancy social theorist.

    Get a celebrity to run your university, and more marks will be willing to go into debt to get an ever increasingly worthless degree. What’s next, Eddie Vedder to become Athletic Director at Central Washington, Kid Rock as Provost at Eastern Michigan? Kareem ain’t dong much, maybe he can do something for Southern U….
