NCAA accuses Alabama State of 668 rules violations

Death penalty. Changing grades without instructor notice to keep them eligible??? Buh-bye.

Bingo. Fucking with grades--behind the backs of the academic administration, no less--is the worst thing you could do, other than maybe blatently paying players.

I really hate it when stuff like this happens.

So let me get this straight - it's ALABAMA STATE that is the worst offender? And of course it's the one that the NCAA is going to crack down on.

I think it's pretty easy to see that larger more prominent sports universities (USC, Ohio State, Texas, etc.) are breaking the exact same, if not more, number of rules. But the NCAA is all about the money, and if USC goes down the tank (god forbid!), then the NCAA is a monster and cruel.

But if they ruin Alabama State, they're staying true to the rules that they set... but it's Alabama freaking State and 7 people are upset.

It's just bullshit.

The NCAA needs to make it clear or not clear - if you cheat, will you be punished? It can't have a sliding scale for how much money that particular school gets.

It's just like the NBA playoffs this year. Some of the roughest fouls I've seen in the post season. There were suspensions last year, but now that it could be Boston Los Angeles in the championship, you can bet that there won't be even a whisper of a suspension for either of those two teams.

If the NCAA has evidence of top schools changing grades, they will go after them. The top schools all have enough major violation reports in their history that its difficult to claim the NCAA doesn't punish the big dogs.

And the death penalty is not the right way to go. Why punish the kids as well? Better to force the institutions to fire the wrongdoers.

Because they can't. The NCAA has zero control over who institutions hire.

Few penalties they can levy on the school will fail to have some negative effect on the kids. Postseason bans? Forfeited wins? Somehow, they'll pay too. It need not be so bad....the NCAA has in the past allowed players to transfer without the usual one-year sitdown period as a one-time special case. They did that for Alabama when they were hit with those relatively severe penalties a few years back. I think if Alabama State were hit with the death penalty, the NCAA would do that here too.

Show cause orders.

Show cause orders.

In English...

In English...

Among the penalties the NCAA can levy, it can require an institution to show cause why it should not be subject to further penalties if it fails to take appropriate disciplinary action against athletics personnel. It can also attach a show cause order to personnel themselves so that any school that hires them will be required to show cause why they should not be penalized.

I'm going with methomps on this one, he's a lawyer.

Or a liquor store owner, I don't remember which.

But, either way.....

I think I'm going down to SDSU to fill the void left by the DEA sweep. Like Forrest Gump when the storm took out the other shrimpin' boats.

I say we nuke the State from orbit...it's the only way to be sure.

Dryden is right. They should give the 'death penalty' to 'Bama. They sure as heck aren't going to give it to USC, when all they did was turn the other cheek when their stars were given free LA houses, and $30,000 cash (I remember when a buck would buy a pitcher and a burger-good times).

Course if the NCAA did that, they'd start Civil War II, and the SEC states would all secede from the Yankee States, and start their own country.

:gobucks3::gobucks4:Come to think of it, that'd be a good idea. Raise the USA's IQ by several points.
