When the NCAA Comes Down

Steve Logan, former ECU head football coach and now offensive coordinator at Boston College had a local radio show on 620 “The Bull” here in the Raleigh/Durham area. “The Logan Zone” was, of course, about football. I enjoyed the show immensely and enjoyed the insights that a former head football coach had. As fans we love to opine, even when ignorant to what really happens in a football program. His insights were refreshing.

During the show he also cracked a few jokes. I found on my iPod an old episode of his from November. In the episode, he talks about an old joke supposedly shared among D1 football coaches about their views on the NCAA. To set this joke up, he was discussing how the NCAA was inconsistently cracking down on Native American mascots it found inappropriate; namely how Florida State and the Seminoles did not get the NCAA’s wrath while others like North Dakota’s Fight Sioux did get in trouble. The joke I found funny five months ago, and found it just as funny today. I’m not sure how many people will get it, but it is a must share:

When Notre Dame cheats, and gets caught, it makes the NCAA soooo angry, they put Cleveland State on probation for four years.
