Does last night’s championship rank in terms of the worst in regards to demonstrating their complete failure to uphold their responsibility of oversight and control on the sport and being a representative of what the NCAA pretends to want the sport to be?
I would rank them accordingly:
1. 2008 – Not only did the loser have to vacate all its wins on the season, the winner’s lineup was almost entirely made up of ineligible players/guys with pending legal issues postponed until after the season/guys whose families were getting absurd levels of improper benefits. The winner was on major probation, and was later revealed to have violated that probation with another instance of lack of institutional control which per NCAA guidelines would have made it subject to a death penalty.
2. 2017 – After a decade long fabrication of academics was revealed that was both systematic and uncontrolled, the violator threw millions of dollars towards its defense that basically it was ok for them to cheat and the NCAA should butt out. And it worked, and they went entirely un-penalized.
3. 1988 – The only instance of a national championship winner not being allowed to defend its title due to going on probation and receiving a postseason ban, the title was won entirely on the back of the singular effort of a player brought to the school simply due to giving his father a fake job.
4. 2009 – The team that benefited from the issues in 2017, where a huge majority of the players were enrolled in fake classes and the institutional program was purposefully turning a blind eye to the academic fraud.
5. 1991 – Perhaps the most dominant team ever, representing all that the NCAA hated in terms of coaching approach and student athletes, ends their domination of the sport by throwing the title game to appease gamblers who they are shown to have connections.
No coincidence that the winning coaches from this list (excluding Tarkanian) of Self, Roy, and Larry Brown are likely the 3 dirtiest coaches in NCAA history. And also no coincidence that they all coached at ku.
