I should have been clearer - I didn't mean blaming the NCAA for Clarett pulling a gun. I meant it about the last part of the article:

In a magazine interview in November 2004, Clarett said coaches and boosters arranged for him to get passing grades, cars and thousands of dollars while at Ohio State. None of the allegations were verified and Clarett never responded to NCAA requests to be interviewed about them as part of its investigation into Ohio State's athletic program.

Without NCAA regs about receiving money, Clarett would have returned for at least his sophomore year (out of necessity due to the NFL's age policy). I was just curious if anyone else felt the NCAA system is broken?
