A member of a women's golf team at a West Coast Conference school has been sanctioned by the NCAA for washing her car on campus, according to University of Portland basketball coach Eric Reveno.

Reveno tweeted about the violation Wednesday after he learned of it during conference meetings, culminating his message with the hashtag #stopinsanity.

"Just heard about two NCAA violations in WCC. 1) athlete using Univ. water to wash car, 2) coach text recruit 'who is this?'" Reveno wrote.

The WCC school in question self-reported the extra benefits violation to the NCAA, Yahoo Sports! reported. Yahoo also reported the NCAA asked the golfer to pay the school $20, which they said was the value of the water and hose.

This doesnt make sense to me. Scholarships pay for food but using "school water" is somehow a violation? WTF?!

Letter of the law versus spirit of the law.

Does every student have the ability to use a hose and water from the University to wash their car?

But, it's washing a damn car.

It's just as laughable they appraised the value at $20. I just saw a medium duty water hose at Ace for 10 bucks. So, am I to assume another 10 for water? There's a car wash 2 blocks from my house. It probably cost 3-4 dollars for an intense wash...as in scrubbing, waxing, etc. for 20 minutes or so. The Hess station? 8 bucks for Deluxe...
