The other Memphis allegations

If you remember correctly, when the news broke about possible violations in the Memphis, there were six allegations. Three were involving he basketball team.

The other three? Women's Golf. From Deadspin:

• "In December [redacted], Bruun provided [redacted] a Christmas gift that included a sweater, Starbucks coffee mugs and a Starbucks gift card. The sweater had an approximate value of $75, the mugs had an approximate value of $30 and the gift card had a value of $25."

• "In December [redacted], Bruun provided a Christmas gift to [redacted] that included a season series of the television show 'The West Wing' on DVD and a wooden tea box and tea bag set. The gifts had an approximate value of $75."

• "In December [redacted], Bruun provided [redacted] a Christmas gift that included a belt, a book entitled 'Best Friends,' a book entitled 'A Wedding in December' and a wall hanging. The gifts had an approximate value of $56.96."

• "Between April and August [redacted] and before [redacted] initially enrolled at the institution, Bruun provided [redacted] a good luck gift, flowers, the movie 'Miracle' on DVD and a picture of a bible verse. The gifts had an approximate value of $70."

• In November [redacted], Bruun permitted [redacted] stay at her residence at no cost for approximately two nights after [redacted] apartment was burglarized. The lodging had an approximate value of $160.

Really?

The NCAA not only decided to punish a coach for buying her team christmas presents, but for allowing one of her players a place to sleep after her apartment was burglarized?

Maybe if they stopped focusing on such irrelevant nonsense as a coach buying a player a couple of books and started trying to keep guys like Ronald Guillory or Matt Nochimson from their best players or fortunes sliding in the pockets of superstars like Chris Webber or Reggie Bush, big time college athletics wouldn't be such a cesspool.

But no, you're right. The first season of West Wing on DVD is a much bigger problem than an envelope full of hundreds.
