Having coached in the NCAA for years, I've seen it all—the good memories and, unfortunately, a lot of corruption. The NCAA has a reputation for digging up phony violations whenever they want, and this recent investigation is a perfect example of that. There's no proof that Brosnan tampered with anything. The NCAA just claims he violated bylaw 13.1.1.3, but even Brosnan himself points out that this bylaw isn’t meant to block communication with longtime friends and acquaintances—it’s the exact opposite. This whole thing reeks of desperation from the NCAA, trying to slap violations where none exist. Brosnan has every right to sue them for breaking the law, because that’s exactly what they’re doing. Whether you’re a fan of Brosnan or not, the facts are clear: no tampering occurred. This is one of the biggest overreaches I’ve ever witnessed by the NCAA. It looks like they were hell-bent on finding a violation and tried to soften the fallout with minor penalties, but knowing Brosnan, he’ll appeal. When he does, I expect he’ll take it all the way through a lawsuit, and the NCAA is going to pay big for this crooked behavior. The records show that Brosnan and the parents never discussed the athlete transferring; instead, they had documented conversations about personal concerns, even a parent calling about a wife’s cancer. For the NCAA to ignore all this is disgusting. There’s not a single tampering violation here, not even a level III, just zero. I’m wishing Brosnan the best in fighting this corrupt decision—he’s standing up not just for himself, but for every current and former NCAA coach out there. It’s time to call out these crooked people and keep pushing forward!
