Last week I hampered on the NCAA for wanting to explore the idea and expand the current NCAA men’s basketball tournament.
This week, the NCAA has come out with the “Tebow Rule.” Bye Bye custom eye black paint, no more “John 3:16” as worn by Tebow, no more “VCC” as worn by C.J. Spiller who was honoring his church back home, and no more “619s” as worn by Reggie Bush who had started it all.
Yes, instead of fixing instant replays or controversial calls that changed games last season, the NCAA has decided to ban simple 1x1 pieces of black tape worn on player’s faces.
Sure, Ohio State’s Terrell Pryor decided to sport “Mike Vick” on his face last season, in support of the quarterback who was facing jail time. But is this really the point?
No more "Mike Vicks" for Terrell Pryor
It seems like every story that has came out recently has focused on the negative side of sports. People are not looking outside the box to truly see what sports bring to the table.
For example, Florida Tight End Aaron Hernandez’s draft stock has been hampered because of his "off-field" personality. The thing is, the three years Hernandez had been in Gainesville, his name had never surfaced with an arrest or police report.
Fans and the media consistently want to see sports figures fail.
Every draft analyst says that Tebow can’t make it in the pros, yet the NFL invites him to the draft.
Jerry Jones publically bashes Tebow saying that he will never work in the NFL, yet ESPN has a sportscenter special on Tebow and his throwing motion the same day.
Sports need something to turn them around in this dead period and find a positive side of it all.
Hey were only 138 days away from college football..
