So no postseason stuff for two years correct?

"The school said it received "erroneous advice from the former director of compliance, who advised that the staff could send text messages to parents but not prospects."

I think there is some erroneous advice going on in more than one program

Just a little stiff isn't it? If we did it based upon misinformation, then Auburn and OSU should get the death penalties--they knew it was wrong. What penalities did Tenn. get? Just the coach?

Probation, not post-season ban.

I don't think "Probation" necessarily means no postseason. My guess is the minimal stuff already carried out by SMU to self-punish is the penance, and we promise to not f up again in the next two years or else. Like deferred ajudication.

Major violations, my [deleted]. Doesn't sound like they're losing scholarships. Doesn't sound like there is a postseason ban.

I would suppose there is distance they can travel and phone records will be monitored daily and stuff like that.

I wish the NCAA would just internally blow up.

I'm so glad Jerry Tarkanian whipped their hides in court in the 1990s.

We continually "ban" ourselves from post-season play.

LOL, the biggest mistake we made here was being honest. Some of this stems around Geary's mysterious departure last year. This isn't even slap on the wrist stuff

How does this compare to Tubbs's fireable violations?

Geary's departure and I guess that of the current CSU-Bakersfield Athletic Director also, who was the compliance guy referenced in the write-up
