I think the juggalos were one of the few schools that blatantly changed their COA numbers (which is a university wide thing, not just applicable to athletics) upwards, so they could give foosball players more money than anyone else. Schad said it's the highest in the country.

Remember, this is UC we're talking about. They will totally ride it too long and too far until it becomes a national embarrassment. AD has already backed Tuberville, and the idiot President is probably too busy tweeting about how Cincy is the most bestest and awesomest college in the whole wide world all morning to even know what's going on.

So much for their Friday night recruiting special. The fact that any university has a staff that considers this is reason enough to tell them to go fuck themselves. I hope that this has never even been a consideration in Columbus.

That was well established long before the current episode.

Absolutely. What makes juggalo, juggalo is that apparently the AD and university President are also morons who find nothing wrong with his scheme. And that's what it is, a scheme to keep players on the field while pretending to discipline them.

As an aside, the juggalo athletic department lost $27M last year, among the highest losses in the country, I eagerly await the fine for the AD and Prez.

I didn't realize that Mike Bohn is their athletic director. The dude pretty much buried Colorado football with the Dan Hawkins (admittedly a hire that looked good when made) and Jon Embree (an unmitigated disaster) hires.

Inside College Sports: Can Cincinnati get away with fining its players?

Cincinnati coach Tommy Tuberville and Virginia Tech defensive coordinator Bud Foster gave voice to a theory some people have believed for a while: Cost of attendance (COA) is not so much the new value of a scholarship as it is giving new money to players in exchange for athletic participation. Tuberville and Foster said this week they have considered withholding cost of attendance stipends from players for disciplinary reasons, causing some athletic directors across the country to cringe.

While Cincinnati is standing by this idea, Virginia Tech athletic director Whit Babcock quickly walked back Foster's comments and said a proposed fine system won't happen. Taking any money "out of cost of attendance would not be permissible and I shut it all down," Babcock told The Roanoke Times on Wednesday. The Richmond Times-Dispatch on Thursday showed a television monitor outside the Virginia Tech players' lounge that listed what appeared to be a fine structure and named players who had been assessed fines. Presumably, coach Frank Beamer must have had a say in these fines, which included $10 for missing a team breakfast or tutoring session, $45 for missing a class, $100 for drawing a personal foul penalty, and $100 and the loss of four tickets for improper equipment. The maximum fine could be $1,600 for a seventh offense. The screen showed five players had been fined a total of $330.

"If you're not paying them, why are you fining them?" asked Michael Hausfeld, the lead attorney for Ed O'Bannon in a case that could allow athletes to be paid for use of their name, image and likeness. "This goes to the whole concept that the players are theirs as servants to the master. You want to punish them? Give them some rights. There has to be some sort of balance in the relationship."

Cont'd ...
