Joke of the Day: NCAA Could Consider DP on OU
Posted: Mon Jul 30, 2007 10:04 amfrom an article by Embele Awipi in The Californian:
Did the NCAA go too [deleted] the Sooners? The last major schedule wipeout I recall is Alabama's 1992 national championship. Thanks to the idiocy of Antonio Langham, their title and wins over two seasons were wiped from the books.
The NCAA is going old-school with a penalty that seems actually like a penalty. The major consequences aside from scholarships were banned from live TV or going to bowls. Nowadays, those punishments are rare.
The increase of compliance departments over the past two decades has become a first alert to potential violations, which has led to displays of mercy by the NCAA.
There also was the "death penalty" given to Southern Methodist. The Infraction Committee's head mentioned that it could be considered again if the Sooners break any more rules in the next three years, the ultimate example of college football being "scared straight."
