Maybe the ACC will throw them out. Sometimes I crack myself up!

Well, we all know the ACC would never let go of FSU - too much money there. But wouldn't it be cool to see them punished somehow?
Not sure what the punishment would be, of course, but it could get interesting.

I believe Rick N. found out that coaches and players aren't supposed to gamble and that it was a sacred rule. It seems that RN was treated much more harshly for gambling than recruiting violations. Hmm, gambling more serious than recruiting mischief. Lack of institutional control. Isn't FSU a repeat violater? Hmmm.

You will NEVER see another school slapped with the DP EVER again! You can take that to the bank.

you know I'm not so sure about that provided said school had a Chairman of the Board Of Trustees who was idiot enough to authorize the continued payment of players after a serious probation. Once again SMU's is the worst factual example of lack of institutional control in modern history and I still say that we deserved everything we got from the NCAA-just not the Kenneth Pye Penalty.
