were imposed now, then BYU would get in worse trouble than it will. Today the NCAA is shorthanded and so just makes a decision based on self reporting and the penalties are lighter.
I took it as 100% CYA for DJ and PK. In essence what DJ said can be summarized as follows: if the judge were a real judge, he would slam BYU harder, but today the NCAA is not a real judge. Totally bogus to say that even if the judge finds you innocent, then you are still guilty. Or if the judge finds you guilty of a misdemeanor, you are still guilty of a felony. Total Jibberish.
For support, they referenced some statement from Jake Kuresa that Jake was concerned the NCAA might find something. Concern is not evidence.
Finally, the caller challenged DJ on how 1280 comes up with a number of over $200,000 in violations. DJ said that if you take what the revealed violations are and multiply that by every year Duane Busby was at BYU, that it adds up to over $200,000. Again, hyperbole. If the worst year was $12,000, and that happened every year, then it could total over $200,000. This again is bogus. There must be a statute of limitations. A deadline after which it no longer matters. For minor crimes the statute of limitations is one or two years. For most major crimes it is 7 years. But 1280 wants to hang BYU and Busby back to the beginning of time. I took all of this as simple pontification on how to justify 1280's accusations that there was more to Sockgate than there actually was.
Sockgate is still sockgate. No additional evidence has arisen and nobody at 1280 has additional evidence.
Some wonder why Anae sometimes gets a little short with the media. I wonder how he manages to not call them idiots everyday.
