The NCAA has a lot of issues to contend with -- potential player compensation, alleged paper classes, alleged academic fraud of various orders. So it’s good to know that through all the noise, the schools underneath its umbrella know the real problem: laser tag.

The Louisville men’s basketball program self-reported that it made egregious mistake in April of paying the admission fees for six of its players at a laser tag facility, according to Sporting News, which obtained the info through an open records request.

That’s seven bucks a pop, or $42 in total. That would be horrible enough, but the team made the mistake of paying for the admission outside of the playing season, which is a violation for reasons we fail to comprehend but trust entirely! As such, the unpaid student-athletes were forced to fork over $7 to charity. Where do you find $7 if you aren't paid for you job? That is a good question, and one we cannot answer. 

We salute you, NCAA, for doing what you can do to cut down on laser tag corruption. Because if these kids get used to playing laser tag in the offseason, who knows what will come next? Could be anything. Maybe even Disneyland. 

Once kids are allowed to play laser tag, there's no knowing what happens next.
