NCAA making a mistake here (and in the GA case last year). I understand you don't want guys running around in Ferraris and spending $50k at clubs, but when you start penalizing kids for feeding their parents, I've got a problem with it.
The fact these kids sold rings for $1000 tells you how poor they are.
In this case, the NCAA is gonna send 3-5 guys to the NFL before they are ready meaning 75% of them will be jobless in a year or two.
The NCAA needs to come up with better penalties that fit the crime. If you break into someones house and rob them, penalize 5+ games. If you sell a ring that belongs to you, how about community service or something else that does not wreck a kids career.
