Mcaa should let Lark the shark go by Scott Ostler what was most surprising to me about the decision rendered against basketball coach Jerry Tarkanian was the disclosure that a . Supreme court ruling is valid in Las vegas Nev. I always thought they had their own Constitution in us vegas based on the City motto hey  i figured that if you went to court there you slipped the Bailiff a id spot to scat you close to the jury f sentenced you flipped the judge double or nothing How could tart the shark be deemed guilty of misconduct while operating in a City where every bad habit known to Man or woman is not Only Legal but strongly encouraged but it s True. Tark fought the Law and Thela won. The Mcaa tried to Bench Tark for two years Back in 1977 for a Long Lisi of Rule violations Tarkanian Felt that the Mcaa acted unfairly and two courts agreed wit him. Now the supreme court has spoken siding with the Mcaa the citizens of Las vegas have to be steamed. What kind of country is it they must be asking you beat the House 2 out of 3 and still lose the pot?1 this is a big decision thai the supreme commentary court has handed Down not that it hands Down Many Small ones. We have to figure out what it Means. Should the Mcaa Park the Tark make him serve that two year suspension or has he suffered enough will the Mcaa use. This ruling to puff itself up and Start kick ing some Rule breaker butt other than Tark a. V the verdict of this Independent jury is let Tark to and us the newty granted Power of suspension to Start scaring and suspending coaches who have broken rules during the last decode Tarkanian did his Rule busting 12 years ago. If the Mcaa can find any More recent do on univ hoops go with it. The charges against Tarkanian presented by the Mcaa in 1976, were serious one. He helped his athletes stay eligible with trumped up grades he tried to influence witnesses testifying about the running rebels program. He did not display in the opinion of inc Mcaa High ethical  How can you violate the ethics of a organization founded on a false Prem ise the Mcaa is the National Cha Rade of at tees As academicians. In order for a Young Man to gel a shot at professional football or basketball he must first play for a College team while simultaneously pretending to be a Stu Dent. This is a unique arrangement which makes absolutely no sense. It s Tike telling a would be doctor of Well let you try out As a brain surgeon but first you must Cam a Black Belt in  the unusual arrangement remains in effect because i Benefi the pro leagues and . Tark sees through the pretence. He has built a career on reaching out to the academically marginal player taking kids from disadvantaged backgrounds and giving them opportunities to train for. Their chosen profession basketball that s not to say that Alt of i players arc scholastically disinclined but Taka Nian has never lost a recruit to Mit he often recruits he Schpil Asli Caby marginal player because it is a Good Way to get Good players. He also does it in my opinion because he has a Genu Ine Affinity for the underdog and wants to give these kids a shot at developing their basketball skills. But the main question now. Other than Powers. Will it know How to use them or will this be Barney Fife with an Uii the Hope among Many observers is that the Mcaa will at least become a Little More even handed. There is a widespread belief that the Mcaa is reluctant to squeeze the Vise on school that bring in big television Money. The Lexington Kyj Herald Leader gathered and published so much evidence of wrongdoing in the University of Ken Tucky basketball program slut the paper earned a pulitzer prize. But when the Mcaa stepped in suddenly All inc Evi dance disappeared. Kentucky was clean nobody Ever said that life was fair but it would be Nice to think that the Mcaa was at least leaning in that  we be got the Rule breaker with the heart of Gold and the enforcement Agency with the heart of Jolk. And we be Gat a College athletic system that has More Laws than the plot of a porno movie. It was Nice of the supreme court to take time out of its Busy schedule to try to help straighten out the toy depart ment but the suspicion lurks that the problems in College athletics will have id be sorted out by a higher authority and i Don t mean the pit Boss at cae sars Palace
