2025 scUM Shenanigans, Arguments - NCAA: no wins taken away, no postseason ban

[Gatorubet]

I don't want to jump into conspiracy mode but yes the distance between the findings and the punishments is so far apart that you have to at least think some shady dealings swayed things here

FSU north apparently. But if covering up diddling kids doesn’t move the needle for the NCAA, I don’t see their excitement about things like this.

So let me get this right…

This was discovered during the season but “we need due process! Don’t punish the kids”.

Then due process is done and it’s “well you can’t punish the current team because they did nothing wrong”.

What a crock of shit. Fuck these assholes.

Kentucky and Arizona State got worse for far less. This is right up there with the worst integrity issues in sports and they got a penalty that’s typical of minor recruiting violations

*chigan got away with it. They are officially the OJ Simpson of college football.

Just can't help but feel the fines are a payoff to the NCAA. I know it doesn't work that way, but there's a feeling I'm having that, provided any University in question has deep enough pockets, the only punishment for any future infraction/cheating will only be monetary.

Really feel like something beyond just proper punishment has been lost today. The soul of the game has been compromised for money. And that connection my soul had to college football fades further and further.

This will go hard on UNLV.

 

[NFBuck]

That does it for me and CFB.

The fallout from this I can imagine is going to cause even more friction between the sports programs and the compliance departments. Why even have compliance departments anymore if you can just write a check to cover any wrongdoing?

Random person at work: "Hey LovelandBuckeye how you doing today?"

Me: [guy on right]

 

[scarletngray]

An entire fan base celebrating that their team got away with cheating, cover up, collusion and
conspiracy. Classy.

 

[lvbuckeye]

Fuck em.

 

[Thump]

Already have pre-orders in for all 5 meals at Taco Bell tomorrow.

2nd meal consumed.

The irony, a post-season ban is probably the ONLY punishment that is meaningful in this era of college football.

 

[1926Buckeyes]

Is there any reason they won’t continue to scout in advance? Moore is disposable and Ellison’s 9th wife getting him to spend money on the football makes any fine meaningless.

Plus they know what mistakes were made this time and how to hide it better. Coach cheats and wins, leaves for NFL, new coach coach gets hired and you can’t punish the kids so…A $20mil fine every 4-5 means nothing for rich boosters.

 

[buckeyemania11]

An entire fan base celebrating that their team got away with cheating, cover up, collusion and
conspiracy. Classy.

This all just reinforces that at this time they are the dirtiest program in America and it's really not even close
