So panel re hear or en banc and or we are done.
To the guy who just mentioned Carolina they haven't had their hearing yet

Wasn't UNC hit for something very similar to what they have under investigation now 5-10 years ago? I know they got basically nothing for the football investigations or the prior NCAA one.

I believe you are right and it led to Butch Davis going gentle into the good night

It is irrelavent as the NCAA restructured their punishments for infractions around 3 years ago.

Need to wait the full 14 days, then appeal, that gets us further along into March and increases the chances that this season will not be affected. Hopefully, they have given this message to the players so they are not freaking out. Let them know this season is not in jeopardy.

This will be a whole new committee with a new set of eyes to conduct the appellate hearing. For that reason alone-it might be worth the appeal-but generally they are required to accept the facts found by the lower committee as true.

Even if the facts remain the same can they rule on whether or not the punishment was too harsh?

If this is "really" true then there is NO explanation as to how penn state got completely off the hook since there has been nothing to contradict what the initial committee found

You forget, it is the NCAA they play by two sets of rules.

I don't think the Committee found anything on Penn St. because NCAA investigation was impeded by ongoing criminal investigation assertions of 5th Amendment privilege by accused. I believe that case was a negotiated settlement where the NCAA simply accepted Penn St.'s private investigation report and self imposed sanctions. The State then questioned in Court the power of the university President to waive Sovereign immunity on behalf of the State-and further agreed alterations were made in the sanctions

One could expect nothing less from the NCAA. SMU and all smaller schools will receive out of proportion penalties as compared to the Big Boys.

Stallion you kind of hit the nail on the head. State Universities, we'll agree to whatever you want, but if you hit us too hard, oops we never waived sovereign immunity. Private Universities, thank you sir, may I have another.

can't remember exactly but I think it was a fine of about 60 Million? Maybe 100 Million, and 45-50 lost scholarships and 2-3 years no bowl
