The University of Minnesota is holding a news conference at this hour to respond to today's sanctions imposed by the NCAA for widespread academic fraud in the men's basketball program. The NCAA sanctions include four years of probation, reduced scholarships and fewer official visits by players. We'll have more on this story in the next half hour of All Things Considered. Collegiate sports scandals are nothing new, but increasingly colleges and universities are questioning whether the NCAA can solve the problem. Last week, University of Michigan President Emeritus James Dude-er-stadt testified before the Knight commission which is looking at ways to clean up collegiate sports. He says universities have lost control of basketball and football to the entertainment industry.
