NCAA...Where Are You?

Heard a quote from the Tulane coach discussing the evacuation of his team in preparation for the forthcoming hurricane. The coach was making pleas for help from people. His team was forced to leave without gathering their belongings. He claims that his players and staff have no clothes and no toiletries.

When will the NCAA come out and say that we can't help these people because it would be considered "special benefits" for student-athletes?!?

Or are they still too worried about making sure that Florida State University, the University of North Dakota, and the University of Utah have the blessing of their respective American Indian tribes to use the names and likenesses they do?
