WOW, I'm sure the NCAA will really come down hard on what is begginning to look like a "serial cheater" in 'Bama. I am sure thehy'll be in line for the Death Penalty. Ha! What a joke the NCCA's enforcement policies have become...think "Bama and USC to mention just a couple...should we even attempt to name the other BIG TIME programs that only get "a wrist slap" now and again...As much as I don't care for SMU it sure is a truism that they got the royal shaft and the NCAA is a toothless tiger when it comes to the big money programs. Still, no surprise there at all I guess!

Does anyone think that the NCAA really believes it is not biased in its enforcement actions when it comes to the "big money" schools???? You just gotta wonder.

"there are no reports of postseason bans or scholarship cuts"........

That says it all right there. Vacating wins.....big whoop. I'll bet in their own media guides.....they still list their records as 10-2 or whatever.

Sixteen athletics teams at Alabama have been penalized for their involvement in improperly obtaining free textbooks for other students, with the football team ordered to vacate an unspecified number of victories between the 2005 and 2007 seasons, the NCAA Committee on Infractions announced Thursday.

Alabama could be forced to vacate as many as 21 football wins that came under the watch of former coach Mike Shula and current coach Nick Saban, sources at the university told ESPN.com's Mark Schlabach. Citing a source, the Birmingham News reported the number of victories to be at least 10.

The football program, which will not lose future scholarships, and the other 15 teams have been put on three years' probation -- the third probation penalty for university athletics in the last decade. Alabama also was ordered to pay a $43,900 fine.

That'll teach them.

      Rice (1/8/25)

      Good dominating win, honestly I expected a little more from Rice, but it was an excellent way to rebound from the Memphis loss. Also UNT went from 70 to 60 in the NET, thats a huge jump at this point in the season, and I can't figure out why a Q3 win at home cause that.

      Porter played hard and he played hurt. And when our scheme and offensive line opened huge holes, he ran through them really fast. Porter played running back like a walk-on wide receiver. As far as elusiveness and power, he was lacking. Lol to UTEP for giving him a scholarship, but I hope he does well there. And I expect that just like last year, we will have plenty of guys on our roster way better than him to start the season.

      I posted this in the game thread, but it fits better here: Dominating win in front of a tiny sleeping crowd in a canvas of a facility. Love the win. Hate the aesthetics. Easily the worst attended game/atmosphere I have watched on TV save for Grambling at TX Southern the other night. Yay. UNT has to do better at treating every game in "revenue" sports as if it's the Wyoming at North Texas football game. Frankly, it's teetering on downright embarrassment. Fix the attendance. I get that our alum, students, and fans are clearly a part of the problem. We have always been a huge part of the problem. But the athletic department has shown the ability to market and boost attendance when they feel like it(?). They seemingly don't do much do market this success, these athletes or this coaching staff. And the result of that is the nightmare TV environment we witnessed last night.

      Understood. I'm sure stuff can be done on a smaller scale for us while we build up. Some of this stuff like transparency costs nothing. I've mentioned before having a live count of subscribers posted on the Light the Tower website. Doubt that would be hard to do... just brainstorming. Those in charge should be brainstorming but it seems they're just sitting on their hands.

      5th game in a row and 6th for the season where we could not bring in more than 3K. This time for an in-state battle against an 11-4 and 2-0 in conference Rice. Only 2,836 showed up for a team that just took a top-25 Memphis team to the limit on the road on national TV. We are now down an average of 869 or 22.79% compared to the first 9 home games last year. The 7,239 in attendance for last year's SMU game is now in the mix which accounts for the huge deficit we face. When compared to last year's full-year average attendance we are now down 1,181 or 28.6% per game. This is for a team that is 9-0 at home this season! The coaching staff and players are doing their part. Really, really, really disappointed in the inability of the AD to do its job. Sure, the students are still out, but last year we brought in 3,376 for Tulane on 1/6. Where did 540 fans go?
