NCAA touts inspiring homeless athlete as other homeless athlete punished

Intentional or not, the NCAA's comic timing is one of its few strengths.

Iowa State forward Daniel Edozie has come a long way since growing up homeless: http://t.co/EvxtNmERyt http://ift.tt/1DUotLn

To be fair, that story on Daniel Edozie came out only yesterday. But to be even fairer, Silas Nacita should be allowed to live in a home and be a college football player.

This tweet isn't anything to get mad about, especially not when compared to the rest of the NCAA's ideas. It was probably pre-scheduled anyway. But if you were to compare its tone-deafness to that of everything else the institution does, no one would disagree.
