NCAA flexing its muscle again

5 players suspended for participation in fantasy football. Good thing they stamped this out, otherwise schools would get the idea that they could get away with bigger things, like academic fraud and covering up sexual assault.

The NCAA considers fantasy sports contests with an entry fee to be a form of sports wagering and therefore off-limits to student-athletes, regardless of sport.

The dumbest thing. If its college baseball then they have a point but its fantasy football they picked from and had nothing to do with their team, or their opponents. NCAA needs to worry about their own corruption than nitpick on stupid things like this (and nicknames).
