The punishment will not include any loss of scholarships, reductions in postseason play or television appearances.

3 Years probation isn't really a punishment at all. They lose NOTHING! It's more like a mulligan than a punishment.

It means the actual violation was minor, but now they are on probation. At this point, there are no more minor violations for 3 years. NCAA rules are quite complex and it's very easy to commit a minor in fraction - now they have no "wiggle room."

Well the dribbler off the tee on the first hole was a minor infraction - so I don't have to count the stroke. Hit again and take the mulligan.

This is really a joke, considering FIU is a little dog, NCAA would probably turn a blind eye to one of their big boys, it has happened before so this is not unusual. dry.gif

      SMU's Last Bowl Win...

      The Mean Green have won 130 conference championships, including 34 since 2000. SMU has been on probation five times between 1974 and 1985, and seven times overall—

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      These players had already chosen to get a free education at a given school when they first committed and they should have factored their degree options/quality into that decision. Now, if after playing for a while, an offer to a BETTER UNIVERSITY (not FB team) for their career is now being offered, then transferring is a valid choice. However, I doubt that is much of a decision factor in the majority of transfers. BTW here's an interesting NCAA site that provides data on graduation, majors, etc. Click on the columns to view different breakdowns, i.e. By Sport. https://www.ncaa.org/sports/2018/5/15/division-i-diploma-dashboard.aspx Also, the NCAA claims that graduation rates have been trending up since the reforms in 2002. While this may be true, I suspect it also has to a lot to do with the general increase in college graduation due to the introduction of numerous less-rigorous majors. More information can be found at the additional links found on the following page: https://www.ncaa.org/news/2024/11/20/media-center-di-graduation-rates-remain-at-highest-level.aspx https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/research/gradrates/2024/2024D1RES_GSRTrends.pdf

      How $$$ for only a year

      Seems like a lot of coaches take new jobs right before bowl games. https://gobearkats.com/news/2024/12/1/football-keeler-to-step-down-as-bearkat-head-coach.aspx

      He’s a Kyler Murray starter kit and you would think we’d get the most out of him while we have him, which is at QB. But you and I know we can never underestimate North Texas’ ability to F things up. I haven't witnessed overall team speed on a HS team like like I saw on the NC team yesterday since the 1983 Daingerfield Tigers. Westlake beat North Shore twice this year, the second time badly in the semi’s and NC was making it look like child’s play against them yesterday. A very impressive, dominant season by them for sure.
