As you watch college basketball this weekend, here’s example 12,054 of how cracked and crazy the NCAA as a whole is.
In helping Syracuse into the Sweet 16, sharp-shooting star Buddy Boeheim has become a fan favorite. He also almost was unknowingly part of a potential NCAA violation.
Yes, the cleverly named Glazed & Confused donut shop put young Boeheim’s picture on a team-themed donut tribute. This, of course, could run afoul of the NCAA rules because, well, I guess the simplest answer is because it’s the NCAA.
Never mind that former University of Tennessee at Chattanooga coach Will Wade was bouncing along the Louisiana State University sidelines in the same tournament after the FBI caught him on tape talking about his dirty recruiting. And making millions to do it.
But getting your picture on a pastry is a penalty? That’s the NCAA in a nutshell.
