Brief Background:
Ohio St star receiver Davier Posey is re-suspended for four more games after apparently being paid too much (matter of 60-700 dollars) this past summer and hiding evidence in the initial investigation.
However, Posey’s attorney states all the evidence was already provided; hence he should be exonerated of all charges.
The debate in the video questions the NCAA Judicial process because it seems to ignore the rule, innocent before proven guilty. The experts in the video argue whether independent arbitrators are needed to approve suspensions, and diminish discrepancies within the system.
How it is presented?
· The way it’s presented with 5 experts analyzing and debating the topic suggests that it is an unresolved and controversial issue.
o They argue whether arbitrators are needed or not. This highlights two issues that appeal to everyone and includes innocent before proven guilty problem, and punishments not fit for crimes.
· The reporters also use frustrating tone that speaks for all viewers of college sports that the NCAA’s punishments don’t fit the crimes.
Selective exposure and perception- NCAA looks at evidence against Posey with an existing belief. They initially just think it proves what they had always suspected.
