NCAA Scholarship Sanctions

[Captain Kangaroo]

BG loses EIGHT football scholarships? Big hole to dig out of for the new coach...Good to see Ohio State penalized for it's dependence on "sham" student athletes who take all of 5 credits before "graduating" to the NBA. Hey...they made an appearance in the NCAA Finals... so it was probably worth it from a financial standpoint. And that's all that really matters.Note: This was placed in the "Basketball" forum because I was tired of looking at that stagnant "Boals" thread. The hoops forum needed some life.

We lost a 1/4 scholarship for men's track? What the hell was that for? Damn man trying to keep us down, that's what it is.

And as if the west wasn't weak enough, Ball St loses 2 in basketball.

That was the only program that had potential, too.

Can't loses 5 scholarships in football.

I wonder if they will even be able to beat powerhouses like Delaware State this season?

It's because football season is around the corner. Basketball is just something we fill the time with between football seasons. Board activity alone proves that.

That's why I'm going to post all my women's swimming news on the soccer threads.

I'm guessing this directly relates to the Ronnie Thompson debacle. If I remember right, they had 3 or 4 players transfer out when Thompson took over. Then, the following season, Taylor also had a few kids leave trying to clean that mess up.

I'd expect Lucius to say something like that since he has a 2 inch member. (Adius Bucacus Palatum, 10 BC - 66 AD)

Palatum's "mine's bigger than yours" comments about Seneca were dismissed centuries ago as the juvenile rantings of a younger rival jealous of his elder's widely praised philosophical wisdom. (Wackypenia)
