4 year postseason ban. Vacate all wins from 1998-2011. $60M fine. 5 years probation. Plus other requirements.
 



Re: NCAA Announces Penalties!!!

I just heard the words "consent decree". Penn State has agreed with punishment, so objections are a moot point at this point.
 
Re: NCAA Announces Penalties!!!

BTW, Regional HBCUs like Howard and Hampton should be flying up there trying to somewhat recruit some of those players like those schools did SMU.
 
Re: NCAA Announces Penalties!!!

All I can say is WOW. And one more thing. . . OMG . . .

They hung Penn St. from the highest tree with the strongest rope and choked the life out of that program.. Worse than the death penalty .. .

Players can transfer anywhere without sitting out..... they more than likely are headed to other BCS schools. How would they benefit going to a lower level school who isnt going to a bowl game anyway?

Not.

They could have taken all of their scholarships, fined them $600M, with 10 years of probation and it would not have been worse than the death penalty.

SMU still hasn't gotten over the death penalty.

Teams like USC, Miami and Alabama were given pretty stiff scholarship redutions, and came right back to win or be in contention for National Championships.

I won't even get into the embarrassment, and stigma the Death Peanalty would have caused.

Trust me, this ain't even close to being a death penalty.

They should....and are you Grambling fans Happy to have the record back that way?
 
Re: NCAA Announces Penalties!!!

Deuce,
I disagree. Teams like Bama, USC were given those penalties for recruiting violations and such. The Penn State scandal is much worse. On every level. Even after the penalties are served and paid, the stigma will linger on for YEARS. I honestly don't think they will rebound (back to the level it used to be) in MANY, MANY years. (if ever)

I'm a big proponent of you don't know if you don't try. Hampton and Howard should be putting their names in the hat RIGHT NOW because we already know Saban and Company are going to go fishing at Penn State.

and by going off on how Spurrier acted during SEC Media Days last week...He could very well break Robinson's record. Spurrier said he felt "no pressure" so he may be around a while.

True, but it doesn't hurt to stick your name in the hat. Both me and you know Saban is getting his fishing pole out.

Saban has 5 star type players on the 3rd and 4th team.... he dont need nobody from Penn State. Bama STACKED.

That I agree with... Plus you CAN'T recruit those players... If they contact you, you can have dealings with them but you cannot initiate the contact... Gotta know your NCAA rules...

4 year postseason ban. Vacate all wins from 1998-2011.

DIZZZZZZZZAMMMMMMMMM!!!!!! The 4 year postseason ban will slightly hurt but their program sells out their home stadium so they'll still get millions of revenue $$$$$ from games, <b>donations</b> :read:, et al. The win vacating deal is HUGE.

Congrats to Coach Robinson for getting his all-time winningest record back, for what it's worth.

And, HILL is right. BAMA is stacked @ the 3rd/4th level w/ nothing but 5-stars, so there's no need for them to "fish." They have those types knocking down their doors to get in. I hope the PENN ST family gets through this trying ordeal. :(
 
Re: NCAA Announces Penalties!!!

If the NCAA did an "FBI type" investigation on all of the "great" coaches.... we would have none. Even at the HBCU level... if they did an investigation of John Merritt.... Tenn State feelings would be hurt. EVERYBODY now knows what was going on at Tenn State.
 
Re: NCAA Announces Penalties!!!

If he breaks it I don't have a problem with that. But if he breaks it cheating, lying and underhandedly, he IMHO just like Paterno should have to give it back.
