2012 post season ban.

9 schollies over three years.

In other words, they didn't get ****. Once again, the NCAA shows itself to be a worthless slab of overcooked horse ****.

and these penalties aren't crap. I don't care what the guys on ESPN are saying. Like I've said earlier, with all the money coming in, the NCAA is essentially out of the punishment business.

Isn't it a rule that when a school get a post season banned that years seniors have the opportunity to transfer to another school and play? If so they could really be hurting. They did it for Alabama the last time they were banned and they just did it for USC. It is going to hurt them.

Just because he played against pro players. That's it. No money paid to him, no services for memorabilia, nothing. I know State fans always joke that whenever a big school gets in trouble, we're about to getting hammered by the NCAA, but things like this really make me think that's not far from the truth.It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to look at the Cam Newton and Ohio State penalties andsee the NCAA's history ofdolling out disproportionate punishments to big money programs vs. the little guys.
