extra benefits

The University of Miami is the latest school under NCAA investigation for breaking rules.

Miami gets in line behind Southern California, Ohio State, Auburn, Oregon, Michigan, North Carolina, Georgia Tech and LSU -- all of which have been investigated or sanctioned by the NCAA in the past 18 months.

If you don't think this is happening at your school, wake up. There have always been boosters and boosters have always given impermissible benefits to athletes. More schools are getting caught because of the media is doing more digging.

The questions becomes whether the NCAA should update or revise its rulebook. Probably. If you are a kid who hasn't seen a lot of prosperity in your life, a free education is never going to seem as good as cash.

Relying on kids -- we are talking about 18-22-year-olds -- to use good judgement and look out for the team just isn't realistic.

So the question isn't if the rules should be changed, it's how do can they do it and keep a level playing field?
