NYT's Nocera exposes NCAA on Nate Miles & others

[storrsroars]

Joe Nocera once again digging up facts the NCAA doesn't like.

Without any consent from the patient, Nevius asked for, and MacLaren provided, details of Miles’s surgery and its costs.
This, of course, was a gross violation of medical ethics. It was also, in all likelihood, a violation of medical privacy laws. But when several lawyers involved in the case brought this potential illegality to the attention of the Committee on Infractions — which metes out punishment to rules violators, and which includes a number of lawyers — the response was coldly dismissive. A medical release from Miles “was not required,” replied Shepard Cooper, then the committee director. How did he know? Because Nevius had told him so. So much for the law.

As this was first published on Friday, I looked for a similar thread, didn't find one, but if one exists already, pls delete.

Wait a minute, NCAA committing violations while digging into UConn for violations? That's crazy talk. Could never happen.

Not NCAA violations, criminal acts.

Wish they would expose the NCAA on the sham APR move making it a retroactive rule.

I think he did that in two different stories last year.

Wonder is Uconn's legal team is looking into this?
