News Of The Insane: NCAA Cracks Down On Car Washing Golfer

Jeff Eisenberg on a female WCC golfer cited by the NCAA after a school self-reported violation because she washed her car on campus.

No, really. Thanks to readers Owen and Jeff for one I had to read twice to believe.

Portland basketball coach Eric Reveno tweeted about the violation Wednesday after he learned of it during conference meetings, punctuating his message with the hashtag #stopinsanity. A spokesman for the WCC did not know any further details, but a source familiar with the circumstances revealed what happened.

A WCC school self-reported an extra benefits violation to the NCAA when university officials caught one of their women's golfers washing her car on campus, according to the source. The NCAA ruled a secondary violation had occurred because the water and hose were not available to regular students and requested the golfer pay back $20, which was deemed to be the value of the water and use of the hose.
