NCAA to review policy on whining
(AP) Austin- The NCAA has declared a moratorium on whining, effective immediately, which will last through the 2008-09 bowl season. Following the bowl games, a specially appointed commission on whining will review the facts and issue a ruling about the future of whining in Division I (not to be confused with fBS) football.
In a press release issued earlier today, NCAA commissioner Butch Fleeberpants said that, "Whining is a privilege, not a right." He went on to add, "If teams would focus more on outscoring their opponents, and less on how unfair the system is, they'd probably still lose, but at least they would have less time to whine."
In already troubled economic times, the announcement sent shockwaves through the world of sports journalism. Said one columnist who spoke on condition of anonymity, "I've got three kids to feed, and Christmas is on the way. What do they want me to write about?"
For now, would-be whiners are hoping that cooler heads will prevail and repeal the decision at the end of the season, but until then, they'll just have to talk about the weather.
