Point out where in the NCAA rulebook there is a differentiation between a free meal and a free blowjob (or lapdance, or whatever). They're both impermissible benefits.

You said dollar amount didn't matter...it does. And the type of infraction will indeed determine the level of punishment.

For some reason when I think of "Death Penalty", I think of no more football ever. I thought SMU was without football for longer than that.

They had to cancel their 1988 season on their own as well, lost all of their players, and then moved their home games to a 23,000 seat toilet, so they were basically garbage for 2 decades...though they were still members of the SWC.

Yes, that is a VERY severe punishment.

Imagine having no games for two seasons, all of your players can transfer without sitting out a year.

Then imagine trying to recruit new players to a team with no returning players except the handful that had no better options and with the incoming recruits knowing they will never play a bowl, never play on TV and play on a team whose roster is 2/3 as big as their opponents.

Oh and you have less time and fewer coaches to recruit with.

That sounds like pretty much what Miami deserves...I would say a 2 year bowl ban when they come back, though, would be sufficient. 10 years probation would also fit nicely.

...and then, in their first year back, they got to watch Andre Ware and Houston drop 95 on them. They were a HS team playing D1 football for a number of years.

Only when it's Jim Tressel versus a clearly overmatched Northwestern team.

When Houston does it against a post-death penalty SMU team comprised entirely of walk-ons, it's OK. SMU had it coming.

Please let us know where those things appear in the rule book.

EDIT: Just found out that the NCAA eligibility rules, which used to be Google-findable, no longer are.

Just one more giant step for NCAA accountability and transparency. :roll1:

Mark Emmert is a horse's ass.
