COLLEGE FOOTBALL DAILY REPORT : AROUND THE NATION : Lee Questions NCAA’s Alabama Stance
The harsh treatment of Alabama’s football program cripples the NCAA’s summary disposition procedure for handling rules violations, a top NCAA administrator has told the “The Chronicle of Higher Education.”
Brigham Young President Rex E. Lee, chairman of the NCAA committee that developed the summary disposition process in 1991, said he was “extremely disappointed” that the procedure failed in the Alabama case.
The NCAA Infractions Committee rejected the summary disposition agreement between Alabama and the NCAA enforcement staff, resulting in far stiffer penalties--three years of probation and a substantial loss in scholarships for Alabama.
“This action takes the heart out of the summary-disposition process,” Lee told the Chronicle.
