Selective enforcement of rules to make a point is exactly what has been taking place in the NCAA. People lose faith in the system to do the right thing and it's why so many of the big schools are talking about parting ways with the NCAA.
I look at this whole episode as Goodell doing something very easy in order to show he is capable of doing something, because he has shamefully done very little on some very much more serious issues. It's no accident that there has been very little talk on the sports pages since the Indy game of any of the issues that were previously dogging Goodell. The tail is wagging the dog.
