Baylor RB Silas Nacita Another Victim of NCAA Hypocrisy

Oh what a crime! A person who was homeless can’t play in the NCAA because he accepted assistance.

Baylor Bears walk-on running back Silas Nacita was offered assistance by the family of a close personal friend after spending time crashing at different houses while playing football at the school.

In 2014, the NCAA took actions against him for accepting assistance.

And now the school, not the NCAA, has ruled him ineligible to cover its behind because his finding a place to stay was a “rules violation that impacted his eligibility.”

What a joke!

The NCAA has already tried to put the information out there that this is not their fault, noting that it was the school who dismissed the player. Let’s spare ourselves the semantics debate.

We know Baylor did this because the NCAA was already down its back after Nacita accepted assistance last year. This shows the greed and hypocrisy of the mafia-like institution we call the NCAA.

If you don’t want to pay players for generating revenue, and if you want to keep boosters out of the equation when it comes to paying players, fine. But how can you be so ridiculously ideological that a homeless player can’t even get assistance with housing.

For the record, again, as a walk-on, Nacita isn’t getting a free ride for his athletic ability. That annoying argument pro-NCAA fans make, “A free education is good enough for the revenue they generate,” does not apply here.

Nacita was playing for the Bears and getting nothing in return, helping this team, which played a heavy role in generating major revenue for the NCAA last year. But oh no! He’s accepted assistance from the family of a friend to find a place to stay.

We can’t have that!

This archaic rules system by these greedy dictators who will do anything to keep Pandora’s Box from opening and having to share their billions with the people who generate them is getting pathetic.

Nacita, albeit minor, is just another victim in that regard.
