This would never happen to a big time school. The NCAA is outrageously hipocrytical. After all, it's all about STUDENT athletes. At least Orien did his work.
i agree with ya'll.
two more thoughts:
1.) Our NCAA compliance officer is the one who should be held responsible (forget his/her name at the moment)
2.) Can we please just forget about this? Seriously, let's forget about it. We were already depressed about men's basketball as it is, so this is not really that big of a deal. let's concentrate on the stuff that's not depressing us and dragging us down. We've got too many other good things goin on to let this rain on our parade
God Bless
Did anyone else notice that the advertiser just raped us in this article. "The committe was shocked that the university ignored this unambiguous rule"? (not an exact quote but close). Hey advertiser, you read the NCAA rule book and see if it's that blatant to you. The advertiser will not see another dime from me, I'm fed up with them. They make the biggest deal about this (NCAA and Advertiser) Is it wrong what we did? Yes. Was it intentional? I don't think so. I haven't heard Jack squat out of the Advertiser or from the NCAA about Pokey's purple and gold butt having sex with her players! The Advertiser can kiss my a__ and the NCAA can kiss my a__ too! I've had it with all of the idiots.Originally Posted by Sid
All the Advertiser did was quote the NCAA report. Those were the committee's words, not the Advertiser's.Originally Posted by Kal
Also, to answer a previous post, it's the FORMER compliance officer that gets the blame on this, not the current one.
I mistook the quote. Even so, then why did it take the NCAA take so long to pass down a ruling and sentencing? Probably because no one there knew what the rule meant either.Originally Posted by BirdofParadise
While yes it is the former compliance officer who is to blame, the NCAA won't punish him. They punish the institution. To me, if its one guy that screws up, and he ain't here any more, then you get a slap on the wrist. Guess it only works if you're in the BCS.
I can't say enough how much I HATE the NCAA.

How many scholarships are they losing? The money they had to pay back was much more than ours, but then again, with their athletic budget, it's not like they're missing it too much.
What did the Football team get hit with? It shouldnt be anything more than the probation because Spurrier anounced he was monitoring his athletes at practice at a press conference a while back.Originally Posted by BrockMeaux

I agree with 1stTake, any pre concession offer would be interpreted as a major guilty plea to an ambiguous at best rule. It so goes without saying that the NCAA tendency would be to conclude that no entity gives unto them selves what they really deserve.
So as indicated by the David Walker quote, I am ready to hear what did UL offer up front? Anything more than a t-shirt purchase by the football players would be too much.
