发帖数: 764 | 1 Lane Kiffin and USC are still appealing their scholarship penalties.
The Reggie Bush situation resulted in the Trojans being ineligible to
compete for the conference championship or play in a bowl game for two years
and the loss of 30 scholarships over three years.
Because an appeal is pending, USC hasn't yet (and may not) feel the full
effects of the scholarship reductions.
Now, I realized a long time ago that the NCAA is inconsistent in how it
doles out punishment. For example, in 1994, Texas A&M was put on probation
and not allowed to contend for the Southwest Conference championship because
players were paid for work they did not do at a summer job. In 2006, three
Oklahoma players, including then-quarterback Rhett Bomar, were found to have
been paid thousands of dollars for work they did not perform at a local car
dealership. The NCAA docked the Sooners a couple of scholarships for two
years.
I'm sure the NCAA could offer an explanation about why virtually the same
offenses resulted in much different punishments, but it all smells of
fertilizer to me.
Heck, just look at last year. Last August, the NCAA found that Georgia's A.J
. Green sold a jersey and immediately suspended him for four games. Last
December, the NCAA found that five Ohio State players sold memorabilia (in
some instances, for more money than Green received) but decided those
suspensions (for five games) wouldn't go into effect until the 2011 season
and allowed the players to participate in the Sugar Bowl.
Apparently, the NCAA could see a difference in the transgressions, but I can
't. That's why I'm doubtful Ohio State will face the same sanctions as USC.
Logically, it would seem Ohio State would receive at least the sanctions
that USC did. The Bush scandal involved much more money, but it also
involved one player. The Ohio State scandal involves five players, and coach
Jim Tressel, who also will serve a five-game suspension. But Tressel
originally was given a two-game suspension by Ohio State and "volunteered"
to have it extended to five only after an appeal to reduce the players'
suspensions was denied by the NCAA.
Jim Tressel and Ohio State could face even stiffer punishment than USC.
We know Buckeyes quarterback Terrelle Pryor, tailback Dan Herron, wide
receiver DeVier Posey, offensive tackle Mike Adams and defensive end Solomon
Thomas broke NCAA rules by selling memorabilia to the owner of a Columbus
tattoo parlor. We also know that Tressel had knowledge of this before the
2010 season, yet chose to keep quiet and played the players anyway. He then
lied to his bosses about being aware of the situation. Tressel even
contacted Pryor's "mentor" to warn him that the owner of the tattoo parlor
was the subject of a drug investigation.
The NCAA is tough on those who break the rules and lie about it. In 2009,
Oklahoma State wide receiver Dez Bryant lied about a meeting with Deion
Sanders. Apparently, his untruthfulness was the only major grievance, yet
the NCAA suspended him for the majority of that season.
The NCAA punished Tressel for lying, too. In June, he must attend an NCAA-
sponsored five-day compliance seminar. It will be held at a waterfront
resort hotel in Tampa.
Now, that's taking a hard line, isn't it? | H*****r
