Joel Klatt went on an unhinged crusade against the NCAA as Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh prepares to sit out his 3-game suspension to begin the season.

The FOX Sports analyst was excruciatingly aggressive in his assessment of the NCAA during his most recent appearance on The Herd.

Michigan provided a self-imposed sanction for situations with Harbaugh allegedly dealing with impermissible contact with recruits during dead periods and the use of a defensive analyst for on-field coaching.

However, Klatt is using this situation to take a macro glimpse into the deficiencies of the NCAA.

“The incident for me doesn’t matter at all,” Klatt said. “The subsequent quote unquote lie if he misinformed or wasn’t completely honest with the NCAA, doesn’t matter to me.”

Klatt ripped the NCAA for being unorganized and unprepared during the pandemic.

“This is essentially a picture of why the NCAA is so bad. A lack of consistency,” Klatt said. “A lack of rule enforcement across so many levels including the COVID schedule and what was permissible and what wasn’t permissible during that time. It was a mess.”

Klatt believes the Harbaugh suspension is a glaring example of the NCAA not having its priorities in order.

“They never take a tough stance but boy will they get involved if it’s like: ‘Hey wasn’t there a recruit when he wasn’t supposed to be there and didn’t you feed him? Aren’t there coaches coaching a practice when there shouldn’t have been?’ I don’t care about any of that,” Klatt said. “This is a picture of NCAA ineptitude. This is a picture of why this organization, the NCAA, needs to go away.”

Klatt is eagerly anticipating the day when the power conferences rise up and break free of the shackles of the NCAA.

“I believe that it will and that’s somewhat exciting for me…There’s an end in sight…” Klatt said. “The SEC and Big Ten are going to garner enough power through their size, through their revenue where they’re just going to say ‘You know what? Thanks but no thanks. We don’t need you.’ College football will be better for it.”
