Ethical Violations In Syracuse Basketball

1094 Words5 Pages

I have grown up a Syracuse University fan attending various sports contests there as I am from the Syracuse area. Last year, the NCAA finished a nearly eight-year investigation into the University’s football and basketball programs. Syracuse University’s violations were all over as it wasn’t in just one field. They had violations that included academic misconduct, drug testing policy infractions, extra benefits to athletes and coaches, and also “impermissible academic assistance and services” (James, 2015). Syracuse Basketball was the main perpetrator of these infractions acts that occurred over the course of ten years. Syracuse Football also conducted some unethical actions as 3 players were giving academic credit for internship hours that …show more content…

I think that it was unethical for Coach Boeheim of the basketball team to turn his head on these issues. He knew that things were being done and he didn’t step in to stop them. Boeheim had been criticized for having a lack of control, which is something I believe is true. Syracuse Basketball knew they made a mistake and took themselves out of postseason play last year. I think that was something ethical they did, stepping in and taking punishment for their wrongdoings. Although that punishment and the others that later came from the NCAA make me wonder how fair it is because it is punishing the current Syracuse Basketball players and not those players that performed the violations. The NCAA punished the educators and coaches (ex. Boeheim suspension) that took part in violations which I believe was the right …show more content…

I believe Rice didn’t get signed again because there was video proof of the attack taking place. Even though his fiancé wasn’t placing charges on Rice, the NFL still saw it necessary to suspend Rice. Hardy only received a 4 game suspension from the NFL for the assault. The photos came out following the NFL’s decision so the NFL couldn’t make any changes to a crime they already punished Hardy for. For me, I find this concerning and interesting at the same time. As a woman I hope people would believe me if I came forward with bruises saying I had been abused. But, I do see how a video will stand more strongly than photos or one’s word as words could be exaggerated. I respect the NFL teams for not signing Rice after the terrible thing he did in that elevator. But, I also lose respect for Dallas for signing Hardy and giving him another chance for a mistake he had made. A mistake that is very similar to what Rice

Summary: The Case Of Paying College Athletes

893 Words | 4 Pages

It is an undeniable truth that college athletes nationwide have participated in an excessive amount of criminal activities compared to non-athletes. This issue has existed for an extended time, and prevailed especially during recent years. The history and continuity of this problem encourages most to pose the question, what can the NCAA do to stop this? There are multiple perspectives taken on how to act on reducing these crime rates, but all are similar as they attempt to attain the same goal. Many critics argue that these athletes wouldn’t commit these crimes if they were paid enough to cover necessary living costs or allowed to receive other outside payments, but a great amount of others believe that they are already compensated enough with the scholarships and other miscellaneous benefits they receive.

Penn State Football Scandal Research Paper

The Penn State football scandal rocked the sports world and dominated the headlines for months and months. The penalties placed upon Penn State are beyond anything that has ever been seen before in college athletics. I believe that all the penalties affecting the present and future football program and completely just. Although, I do not think that it is okay to punish the players of those who were not on the team from 1998-2011. The players after 2011 had nothing to repulsive acts by Jerry Sandusky or the cover-up that occurred with the Penn State Office.

Jerry Sandusky: The Scandal At Penn State

In 1999, Sandusky was a retired emeritus professor and coach on the university’s football team ran by the legendary head coach, Joseph Paterno. Sandusky also created a charity called “The Second Mile” to help children who were underprivileged (Crandall, Parnell, & Spillan, 2014). This resume provided Sandusky the ability to maintain direct access to the athletic facilities, which is where he sexually assaulted children (Crandall, Parnell, & Spillan, 2014). There is an old saying, “the cover-up is worse than the scandal itself”.

Annotated Bibliography: Should College Athletes Be Paid

The NCAA says that they don’t want to pay college athletes because of their scholarships. As the money keeps flowing more and more each and every year, it comes with more arguments about the athletes getting the money that they deserve. Sounds as if college athletes are blindly signing a sheet of paper and the NCAA has an evil smirk saying “You have no idea what you’ve gotten yourself into”. A court case had also gone down about a young college athlete and a car dealership. The dealership was using the athletes to make more sales with his cars and was doing behind the athletes back without

Should College Athletes Be Paid To Play Analysis

1081 Words | 5 Pages

It would have been nice to get into the financial side of this subject, like for example how much money exactly the National Collegiate Athletic Association (N.C.A.A) and all the universities profit from the athletes, contracts with companies, and anything else that brings in money. I think Cooper does a great job of offering new evidence and writing more about the legal side of things, because people cannot argue against it and it rules out any opinion. One thing that I would like to be answered is just how many hours’ student-athletes spend training and traveling for sporting events, and if that could potentially be hurting their academic career. Another thing that I would like to be answered is if there have been previous attempts to take a case like this to court. I think that this article could have
