NCAA airballs decision on Vegas
The t'niversits of Nevada I as Vegas men's
basketball team won ils biggest game of the year
last Thursday
The kuniini' Reliels will l>e ba< k m tin*
\( ;AA Tournament come Man h track to defend
their national i hampionship thev have no busi
ness defending
That was the vertlul from the NCAA last
week
t'Nl.V was plat ed on probation by the NCAA
for rule violations committed In Coach |err\ Tar
kanian .it tin* st bool 1 t years ago UNI A' had al
ready served two years of probation from that in
From the Sidelines
by
ASHLEY CONKLIN
( idcul. but Tarkaninn never served the two-year
suspension given to him bv the NCAA.
So last week the NCAA de< idixi to i op a liar
gain that would allow the Kunnin' Rebels to de
fend their NCAA title this year if they agreed to
sit out next season Of course the university ac
i epted
That the NCAA overturned a decision they
had alreadv made was a bit incredible itself That
thev plea bargained with probably the biggest
i rook in i ollege hoops w as a little like allow mg a
known murderer off on a reckless endangetment
i barge
Many liolieve the dei ision agreed to bv
l 'NIA' and the NCAA was a tair one After all. the
players on this year's team four starters re
turned Irom tb.d i hampionship squad weren't
around when Tarkanian first got into trouble with
the NCAA and thus they shouldn't have to pay
Maybe the players shouldn't have to pay But
who does7 Certainly Tarkaniiin won't He will
never net tired or suspended In the university be
cause of his masterful abiliu to break the rules
and net away with it
The NCAA won't do anything because as
they proved in the UNLV case, they are incapable
of making a decision and stic king with it And
even it then make a solid decision there is al
ways a c ham e they will reverse themselves as
they did here
Two years ago Kansas was unable to defend
its national championship because it was also on
probation Those players were innocent too be
cause Coach 1-arry Hrown was responsible for the
rule violations. Hut when it came time for him to
stand up and be held responsible for iiis actions,
he couldn't because he was in the NBA.
So those players had to pay They sal home
come tournament time. Next year IJNLV will sit
home come tournament time, but it should have
lieen this year
What happened here was the NCAA was
afraid to stand up to UNLV. The NCAA, which is
supposed to be the governing body for college
athletic s bowed down to one of its members
Vfones. prestige1 and c lout were enough for UNI.V
to beat the- N(!AA
Thomas Boswell, a columnistfromtheU as/i
inglon-l’nsl. suggested the reason IJNLV won was
because the sc hool and Tarkanian had better law
vers than tin* NCAA That's definitely true
With UNI.V able to win the decision it want
ed. what happens the1 next time the NCAA puts a
big time power like I'NI.V on probation7 The
school, the coach and the players will scream
bloodv murder and expec I to rec eive the1 doc ision
that is best for them.
UNI.V did beat the- NCAA, but the NCAA
beat itselt as well
