The NCAA officially announced Thursday that the Committee on Infractions placed the FIU football program on three years probation for workouts conducted by a former assistant coach when they weren't permitted.

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

      UNT vs Texas State BOWL GAME THREAD!!

      I agree, but that’s not the way it’s presented here. EVERYTHING is the coaches fault according to many on this forum.

      Yes, EM has very similar records to SL, but are we not in a better conference, playing better teams? The AAC was 6-2 in bowl games, C-USA was 1-4. This is an important aspect that is always overlooked in the EM vs SL argument. Also, SL didn’t have to deal with NIL or the portal (granted, it’s possible he would have handled it well, but I have my doubts). Finally, I just don’t feel like we get our asses handed to us near as much as with SL. I know there are those that say “a loss is a loss,” but I’d much rather lose by one score instead of three score. I looked up the numbers at one time, but the number of 21+ point losses under SL was just crazy. In the past two seasons we have 10 conference losses, and 6 of those have been one score games. Only twice have we been throttled in conference…last year vs SMU and this year vs UTSA. This year we lost to 3 of the top 4 teams in the conference (Army, Tulane, and Memphis). Last year we lost to the top 4 teams in the conference (SMU, Tulane, Memphis, and UTSA). That’s bad luck on scheduling to even have to play all of the top teams in the conference. None of this is meant as praise for EM. I’m just saying that I think it’s obviously better than SL. I’ll give the rest of the argument as I honestly don’t have a clue.

      I don't have much to add other than to say I agree with you. We seem to have a lot of fans that just enjoy mediocrity and moral victories. BuT We PlAyEd BeTtEr FoR oNe GaMe, We aRe GoInG sOmEwHeRe
