a guy on a BTN show last night made a good point. If the NCAA is going to start handing out this type of punishment for such unbelievable violations schools might as well go ahead and try to circumvent the rules and live with the penalties for a couple years. The benefits would probably be much better than what the NCAA would hand down for the violations.

That's a great question. I've been wondering about that myself and haven't seen it discussed. It almost seems like after they hammered USC (basically for being defiant about their cheating) even though they couldn't really PROVE much and got criticized, they've been more legalistic about things. Manziel seems like the best example because it's inconceivable to anyone with one or more firing neurons that he didn't get paid for the act of signing thousands of identical items for memorabilia brokers, which act was undisputed, but they just threw up their hands and said "can't prove it" when they couldn't find cancelled checks, email acknowledgments or photos of money changing hands. In the past, I'd think they'd have reached the obvious conclusion based on the circumstantial evidence, but now they hide behind something like a criminal "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard.

Yet a few years before that they went after the kid at Boise State for knitting $5 hats and selling them.
That was "NCAA illegal" b/c, they proposed, nobody would buy the hats if he wasn't playing football for Boise State.
But the Notre Dame safety boxing professionally in NYC was sanctioned by the NCAA. Can anybody honestly say he would've had that opportunity if he didn't play for a big-name nationally recognized school?
What really pisses me off about the sanctions we got is the vacated bowl game -- they deliberately cleared us to play that game. The NCAA brought in millions off of that game -- they wouldn't have made nearly as much if our players had been suspended beforehand. Once the game was over, and they had made their cash, they retroactively declared that it should be vacated.

There's so much corruption, the NCAA should have an investigation on themselves.

Will they NEVER learn?

Former Miami defensive lineman Dan Sileo has gotten himself in trouble again, this time in the wake of Florida State's dominating 41-14 win against the Hurricanes on Saturday night.

Sileo did not take kindly to a gesture from one of the Noles, and offered a $1,000 reward for any Miami player to take running back Devonta Freeman out "in six weeks;" referring to the possible rematch against Florida State in the ACC Championship Game. Unfortunately, the picture Sileo included was of defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan, who also wears No. 8.

Sileo deleted the tweets, but TomahawkNation.com saved them and reposted the message on Facebook. According to the 640AM website, Sileo hosts an afternoon show on the station. The former Hurricane was already fired once this year, by WQAM in March, for continued controversies during his time as a radio host...

Sileo later said that the $1,000 offer was a joke, and he apologized on Twitter.
