All about the ratings
Now, I'll be the first to admit that it isn't necessarily that big of a deal, but is anyone else wondering that if it had been anyone else rather than USC quarterback Matt Leinhart caught violating NCAA rules they wouldn't play in their bowl game?
That if, say, Georgia's Marcus Howard had filmed a spot for ESPN in violation of NCAA rules forbidding endorsing appearances, the organization wouldn't have been so forgiving? One would think that if you break a rule (no matter how silly it is), and said rule's punishment is suspension, that you'd be suspended for longer than a few days? And that it wouldn't be so secretive?

I think most other white dudes would've not been suspended.
This is all bullshit...oops, wrong post...
I think it is a moot point. Marcus Howard or [fill in the blank with anyone not continuously fellated by the national media, and by national media, I mean ESPN] would never be asked to participate in such things.
