Remember when Pryor and others "promised" to return for their Sr. seasons and a five game suspension and then played in the Sugar Bowl vs. Arkansas? I think they should definitely be forfeiting that victory now.

What a joke the NCAA is

You're right about the kids being guilty - I'm not trying to let them off the hook.

But from the standpoint of simply stopping it, punishing the kids won't do it. Each new 18 year old is going to have to find out for himself, the easy way or the hard way, once they walk through the door. The boosters on the other hand, who have nothing at risk but their "donation," will continue to do it until he knows there will be ramifications.

I just think it is shameful that innocent kids coming into a school 2 or 3 years after an investigation is complete get punished for the sins of their predecessors. But since it takes 2 to 3 years, or more, for the NCAA to act, there is nothing legally they can do to the guilty players other than vacate their awards. It all is done bass ackwards in my opinion.
