Report: NCAA reaches new low: a $20 Fine !

Betallsports · May 30, 2013

If we weren’t already there, we are officially in Bizarro World when it comes to the NCAA and its rules.

After Portland men’s basketball coach Eric Reveno on Wednesday morning tweeted that a WCC school committed NCAA violations pertaining to a car wash, the folks over at The Dagger did a little digging and uncovered a this head-scratcher:
A WCC school self-reported an extra benefits violation to the NCAA when university officials caught one of their women's golfers washing her car on campus, according to the source. The NCAA ruled a secondary violation had occurred because the water and hose were not available to regular students and requested the golfer pay back $20, which was deemed to be the value of the water and use of the hose.

Twenty bucks? The NCAA must be spending all of its money making sure they don’t get hit with a judgment in excess of, say … ONE BILLION DOLLARS!

In college I did a promotion at a mall that was advertised on the radio .. Next thing you know NCAA Investigation .. Blah blah blah ... I was given some sweatshirts, shoes and other clothes for 2 days work. .. No cash .... When they asked me I said I didn't get paid .. I guess no proof one way or the other so nothing came of it. ... When your in college and you don't have much its really unfair to not be able to do those type of things.

another school I was at .. You could work part time and my coach was supervisor of the job .. So that was more attractive .. Like watching the gym, tennis courts stuff like that... I forget the actual name of it now but you could do it like 20 hours a week.
