Official Thread for Suspensions and Related Discussions - No Extra Threads!!

Completely agree. The one common thread through all of these Shenanigans is MONEY! Strip Universities of ALL the monies made during the time of the infractions and you will definitely see a knee jerk change in how they do things! The question now is, will this stop the mid-tier or lower-tier universities that are trying to make a name for themselves any way possible and haven't even sniffed a bowl? What money are you really going to strip. Herein is where I think punishing the coaches bears some interesting debates.

The money part is #1. However, I heard someone say coaches basically look at the risk/reward. Right now they are saying the reward is worth it because the punishment is not that big of a deal. Now if they were hit with fines and suspended, and the universities had to refund bowl money, you can be sure that infractions would drop significantly.

We have too many threads discussing the potential suspensions, how suspensions are determined, players cleared, just letting the guys play , etc. Post all comments in this thread similar to the one above for the investigation. Thanks

Based on this article in the palm beach post it looks like we are working with the NCAA to review the eligibility of the players.

IF this is true, that's a MASSIVE lawsuit in the making. STRONGLY doubt this is true, more than likely some crap a pay for news site generated to ruffle feathers and gain subscriptions..

This isn't like a regular court of justice. Colleges don't get completely off violations because they self report violations. They still get in trouble. And the only person suggesting this is Robinson, and why would he know what is going on in the NCAA committee?

Never mind the frist half of this post. Apparently there is this in the NCAA rulebook

32.3.8.2 Student-Athlete. At the request of the enforcement staff, the Committee on Infractions may grant limited immunity to a student-athlete or prospective student-athlete when such an individual otherwise might be declared ineligible for inter-collegiate competition based on information reported to the enforcement staff by the student-athlete or a prospective student-athlete or a third party associated with the student-athlete or prospective student-athlete. Such immunity shall not apply to the individual's involvement in violations of NCAA legislation not reported or to future involvement in violations of NCAA legislation by the individual or to any action taken by an institution. In any case, such immunity shall not be granted unless the relevant information would not otherwise be available to the enforcement staff.
