Joke of the Day: NCAA Could Consider DP on OU

[MrMustang1965]

from 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."

Riiiiiiiiight. OU could break every rule in the book for the next three years, and the infractions will be determined as "minor" and "unrelated to past transgressions." No way the NCAA ever hits a big money-maker with the ultimate sentence.

The DP is only an NCAA bogey man these days. OU won't get any more punishment than Bama ever got. At watcing the agony of executing SMU, football for any all practical purposes may have banned capital punishment. Guess our 20 year exile has benefited other schools, but not us.
