Great job by our student-athletes!

Nice job staying on the safe side and progressing in the education that will matter at more than sports for most of those athletes lifes.

This really is not a by the way thing. There are casualties every year. ULMs already bad basketball program is gonna get even more irrelevant due to the numerous penalties they got this year and FIUs practice restrictions and postseason ban will not make things easier on them either.

I am very proud of our athletes also. However, the trouble at FIU is not good news for our new conference IMO. Their scores are so low that they will probably be a non-factor in basketball for years to come.

The problem with the way the APR system works is it’s systemically biased against cash-poor programs that don’t have the academic support staff and facilities to match bigger-conference programs. The issue is exacerbated by the way some schools have operated their programs, using the nonconference season as a cash-generating national beatdown tour. The players are away from campus a lot during the season, which doesn’t help.

Harry, there is also uneven enforcement between schools. Some schools get special wavers reducing the penalty to something small like the loss of practice time whereas other schools see scholarship reductions and post-season bans. I think a lot of it comes down to the name of the school and what conference said school belongs to.

You guys made some good points but also, Vito, typo...the score of 966 wasn't for a "team," it was for "teams" or "school." I know, picky picky...unless of course you consider all of our teams together to be a meta-team. That would be a cool term to popularize...
