How's this for karma? The NCAA is investigating itself. That's because its investigation into Miami's Nevin Shaprio scandal has sprung a scandal of its own.

"The NCAA national office has uncovered an issue of improper conduct within its enforcement program that occurred during the University of Miami investigation,'' an NCAA news release said. "Former NCAA enforcement staff members worked with the criminal defense attorney for Nevin Shapiro to improperly obtain information for the purposes of the NCAA investigation through a bankruptcy proceeding that did not involve the NCAA."
What does this mean? Scholarship reductions for the NCAA? Bowl sanctions against staff members traveling to games?


Joking aside, what does the NCAA have left if the evidence received from Shapiro's bankruptcy isn't admissible? Will Miami get off lightly on a technicality? Did it self-impose bowl sanctions unnecessarily?


All we know is the NCAA is saying it won't move forward with the Notice of Allegations against Miami, "until all the facts surrounding this issue are known,'' NCAA president Mark Emmert said.


An external investigation is studying the NCAA's investigation of the Miami investigation (say that three times fast).


“To say the least, I am angered and saddened by this situation. Trust and credibility are essential to our regulatory tasks,” said Emmert. “My intent is to ensure our investigatory functions operate with integrity and are fair and consistent with our member schools, athletics staff and most importantly our student-athletes," he added.

So the NCAA does things that are considered improper and makes mistakes?

Makes you wonder about the Cam Newton/Auburn investigation, eh?

Has there ever been a bigger joke than the NCAA?

NCAA to Auburn: We know you're guilty, but we can't prove it.

NCAA to Miami: We can prove you're guilty, but we can't know it.
