BREAKING -- Alcorn State receives penalties for NCAA Infractions


Are you reading the same thread as I? "Vacating championships" "Giving rings back" "Paying Celebration Bowl payout back"
We violated NCAA rules, it appears that to be irrefutable, but surely you didn't miss the obvious joy and the posting frenzy that ensued from PV_Sigma's thread. Unadulterated HATE.
Well, everybody's been joked about with APR, especially JSU. Alcorn can't and shouldn't escape the same fate of jokes.
 



No I'm saying it could have happened in one of the non-championship seasons during that date range.



Football could have done it in 2011, 2012 or 2013 instead of in 2014.


This is basically what happened
 
Here is what I think is funny, the NCAA fined the university $5,000 but said retain the money and use it for rules education. I agree this really looks bad but it business as usual. This was all self reported by the university is my understanding so in all honesty we got off rather light by NCAA standards. No scholarships loss, no bans on post-season play, etc. "No programs were eliminated, and no programs are currently subject to a post-season competition ban as a result of the penalties. The probationary status simply means the department is subject to additional reporting to the NCAA in terms of policies and procedures."

The report lists the reason for the non-compliance as an "administrative oversight." There was no evidence of malicious intent, no willful deception. As much as it pains me to admit it, this was ignorance not cheating.

In other words, par for the course on HBCU campuses who continue to hire and retain willfully ignorant people who are incapable of fulfilling the requirements of their job function. :D I sincerely hope this trend dies a thousand deaths soonest. smh
