NCAA player suspended for trying to survive; Horrible Look for NCAA
The NCAA does a lot of things but this might be the worst. Baylor walk-on running back Silas Nacita has been dismissed from the Baylor football team after he claimed the NCAA ruled he took an impermissible benefit.
His benefit?
Taking permanent lodging from a friend instead of sleeping on various apartment floors.

Seriously, not a good look for the NCAA. The kid was homeless, and still managed to walk-on, make a Big 12 Championship squad, contribute, and make the Big 12 All-Academic team.
