The root issue is definitely about disclosure with the NCAA, but it’s systemic, not only limited to “press releases” about what “they” do.
Refer to Infante’s recently penned an article called “Tip of the Iceberg”. Please note the NCAA chooses freely, selectively, and arbitrarily regarding what “case precedent” and what “interpretations” to make available to other member institutions searching the database. Can you imagine the legal system hiding the facts and verdicts of all cases they would prefer others not to know about?

The NCAA does not disclose enough about its actions to prevent the wild speculation about what it is they actually do. That seems to be the root issue here.

Nocera cites multiple examples of students being penalized in ways that seem arbitrary and harmful. Does NCAA see that the situation described and corrected by Nocera appears penalize a mother-student-athlete for childcare?

Thanks
