And yet, North Carolina got off with no penalty after 18 years of academic fraud

almost exclusively for athletes. This was spread out over more than 200 classes and thousands of student-athletes. It helped many hundreds of UNC basketball and football players stay eligible.

Apparently, SFA is 2020's Cleveland State:

“The NCAA is so mad at Kentucky they're going to give Cleveland State another year of probation.”--Jerry Tarkanian

Kansas must have done something really bad.

Marvelous

5/26/20 9:55am

Haha, I was about to say “man, that reaction to Duke violations was swift”

5/26/20 2:59pm

And Penn state, Arizona, UNC, and Kansas got slaps on the wrist. Ridiculous.

Wow! that was quick

In 2040, Duke will be slapped on the wrist for paying Zion.

The university agreed with all the allegations

I'm actually hearing from Texas(SFA) people that it is "just" a postseason ban

5/26/20 9:59am

Yet Arizona duke etc are still good

The NCAA is a joke.

From Nacogdoches paper

Or ESPN

5/26/20 10:49am

Apparently playing 82 ineligible players is a bigger deal than 52 molested kids

it's horrible from a personal standpoint, but the Penn State issues had nothing to do with competition

I understand completely. SFA absolutely deserves sanctions.

CaliWG

5/26/20 10:25am

You're right about the seriousness of Penn State's crimes.

5/26/20 10:41am

So state bars & medical boards should not punish members who commit crimes?

CaliWG

5/26/20 11:35am

The purpose of a Bar or Medical Board is different than the NCAA.

5/26/20 11:41am

Completely disagree. The difference is foresight.

CaliWG

5/26/20 11:51am

I think the difference is scope.

5/26/20 12:00pm

The members of the NCAA are the programs themselves, not individuals

CaliWG

5/26/20 12:16pm

See, I think that's a matter for the actual justice system.

5/26/20 12:21pm

Yes it did. They covered it up because of competition.

The Penn State administration should have done something

Wow- Arizona really made them mad I guess.

Rookie mistake. If they just would have allowed some of the non athletes to

So basically they let a lot of athletes play who weren't academically

JuicyJam

SFA reported some classes that were not applicable to the students Major(an elective) and that brought there numbers.

5/26/20 10:37am

Wow somewhere Jerry Tarkanian is shaking his head, laughing at the NCAA

Why have none of the schools involved with the Adidas payment scandal been punished?

Correct me if I'm wrong...I thought the death penalty was a shutdown of the

You're correct.

We talked about this very issue in our podcast this week!

And it didn't even work out for them. They still sucked.

Four NCAA tournament appearances in five years from 2014-2018, including 2 wins.

That's what I get for not reading it. I was thinking football. I figured 82

That's hardly the death penalty

Bummer. I've become somewhat of a fan of SFA since I watch them every March

5/26/20 12:14pm

And yet, North Carolina got off with no penalty after 18 years of academic fraud

5/26/20 1:05pm

3 years probation is the death penalty? Lol click bait

5/26/20 1:23pm

This might not be the best time to make this point because 82 ineligible athletes is a ton, but when are smaller schools
