MORNING BREW
Amateur drama rife in college
Another year, another wave of scandals involving the amateur status of college athletes. This season has been especially rife with controversy, even involving something thought to be resolved more than five years ago.
more than 29 years ago. In 2005, Reggie Bush was far and away the best player in college football. Anyone who can make Matt Leinart look like a competent quarterback, let alone help him get drafted in the top ten of the NFL, deserves considerable recognition.

This summer, the NCAA determined that Bush received improper gifts from an agent while at the University of Southern California. Bush was stripped of all of his accomplishments, and ultimately sent his 2005 Heisman Trophy back to the trust.
Officials from the Heisman Trust were the only ones who handled this situation with any amount of class. They decided because so much time had passed since the 2005 NCAA football season, they could not rightfully give Bush's award to any other player. Instead of cheapening the award, the 2005 Heisman will remain vacant.
Most recently, 2010 Heisman front runner Cam Newton has come under fire for allegations that he was trying to arrange a deal where he would sign with Mississippi State for a large sum of money. Less than a week later, news broke that he had allegedly cheated academically while at the University of Florida, where he played for a year and-a-half starting in 2007.
All this hits home for students at the University of Kansas. Superstar freshman Josh Selby is still waiting to hear whether or not he will be allowed to play this year because of contact with a business manager who helped him through his recruitment process. This story first broke months ago, yet the NCAA has still not made a ruling.
Maybe now is the time to make a change. Every year these scandals worsen. Some say it would be best to give the players back some of the money they are earning for the school. The biggest case for this centers on the use of athletes' likenesses in video games. If you have ever picked up a copy of an NCAA football game, it is clear that all the players in the game are modeled closely after their on-field counterparts. With professional sports games such as Madden NFL, the players' unions give permission for the players' likenesses to be used, and
the players receive compensation.
the players receive competitions.
I am not advocating giving college players multi-million dollar contracts to play at schools. They already receive one of the greatest gifts someone can get, a free education. But when it comes to student athletes messing up, we have to remember who these athletes are: kids. And while they should be reprimanded for their mistakes, it's more important that we teach them why what they did was wrong. That all starts with holding the coaches to a higher level of ethics when it comes to recruiting. If the coaches conduct themselves with upstanding behavior, maybe they will instill those values in their players.

careers.
The Cardinal women's basketball team begins its quest for a fourth consecutive trip to that illustrious stage when it opens Sunday at Maples Pavilion against Rutgers. To get there, No. 3 Stanford will lean heavily on junior Nneka Ogwumike and seniors Kayla Pedersen and Jeanette Pohlen — all have yet to miss a Final Four in their Stanford
"I know a lot of coaches at this point like to downplay their team," said VanDerveer, starting her 25th season at Stanford. "But we have high expectations and I'm not afraid to talk about them."
The Cardinal has been picked to win its 11th consecutive Pac-10 Conference title because of the blend of experience and new talent. The usually circumspect VanDervege gave her team an A+ for October.
The unbridled excitement is surprising considering Stanford lost All-America center Jayne Appel and leading defender Rosalyn Gold-Onwude to graduation.
Also, senior guard Melanie Murphy won't be ready until January after undergoing microfracture surgery in the spring.
surgery in the spring. The three factored into Stanford's 36-2 record last season that included a 53-47 defeat to UConn in the NCAA final after the Cardinal led 20-12 at halftime.
Nneka Ogwumike, Pedersen and Pohlen aren't talking about national titles yet because, as good as they are, they know they can't do it alone. Stanford's leaders spent as much time helping integrate teammates over the summer as improving their already sizable skills.

Enes Kanter ruled ineligible for play
LEXINGTON, Ky. — University of Kentucky freshman Enes Kanter was ruled permanently ineligible by the NCAA on Thursday, and the school plans to appeal, UK announced.
The NCAA made the ruling because Kanter received $33,033 in excess of the necessary expenses permitted by the NCAA.
Committee by the end of the month, the NCAA said.

the month, the NECA salary This is the final appeal in the initial eligibility process.
the committee, which is made up of representatives from NCAA member schools and conferences, can reduce or remove penalties, but it cannot increase the punishment, the NCAA said.
"We appreciate that the NCAA has an appeals process to allow this young man to defend the uniqueness of his circumstances;" UK Director of Athletics Mitch Barnhart said.
