Iowa Hawkeyes (Official Thread of The Under)

They absolutely did. The ruling (something like $30 million) IS the buyout. Remember when that ruling came out? "Unprecedented hammering by the NCAA", or something like that. They'd never before given a punishment that high (according to my memory of the news). The only reason it was that high (dollars-wise) is because the cheaters were willing to pay it and keep their wins and championship.

Remember when MLB's umpires talked about "their" strike zones? And no one minded, because they were consistent. Yeah, that pitch was 4 inches outside the plate, but he's been calling that strike all evening, and all season. Fine - I don't like it, but at least be consistent. The NCAA has not been consistent at all.
Who was it that had communications with Deion Sanders ~10 years ago? Some wide receiver. Well, he was ruled ineligible simply for not being truthful with the NCAA.
North Carolina lets its players take bogus classes - "introduction to cartoon-watching". No problem.
Some basketball coach (Utah, maybe?) buys some pizza to share with a player whose father just died. The player loses eligibility.
Miami boosters buy hookers and boats and coke and all the things for their players. We'll let them off with time served after self-imposing 2 years' post-season ban, after it was obvious that they won't make any impressive bowl games.
Chase Young wants to borrow some money from a family friend (not a booster) so his girlfriend can go watch his bowl game (and he paid the friend back), and he lost 2 games of eligibility.
Cheaters up north get caught illegally stealing other teams' signals. Just throw some money at us and you can keep all your shit.
Iowa contacts Cade McNamara the day before they're allowed to, and they have to vacate wins.

What's the thing people are saying, now? "Make it make sense." None of this makes any sense.

I think we at BP grossly underestimate scUM’s TV/media drawing power. Hit the cheaters with a penalty equal to the crime and you lose a ton of eyeballs for four or five years. Think about the ratings for the IU v the buckeyes prior to Cignetti v the ratings with Cignetti.
