ADDENDUM, just speculation but does

[coach66]

It make sense that the NCAA would pause
and apply additional charges once some involved
have gotten out of school and out of Oxford. It somewhat
makes sense to me if said player or players lives would have
become very difficult.

You had me at addendum...

eta: and my spidey senses tell me this is more than speculation.

The NCAA moves like a turtle anyway. Several will graduate before they are finished investigating.

Folks are less likely to cooperate when it impacts their playing time and ability to market themselves for the league. once they achieve success and move on, they don't care as much.

 

[Hump4Hoops]

That's also my fear.

The Tunsil stuff will be almost forgotten, and a few more recruiting classes will have come and gone before any real punishment is doled out.

 

[engie]

I'd agree if they were just in the investigation phase.

But there is a letter there. The clock is started on punishment coming. And while that one obviously doesn't contain everything -- I'm pretty sure it does have the academic fraud.

How much will they ***** that the penalties (only in my dreams will the penalties be as bad as they should be) shouldn't affect the players there when the penalties come down? I hate that argument

 

[RocketDawg]

Wasn't USC punished well after Reggie Bush left school? They can't do anything to Tunsil now, but they can certainly punish the school.

And OJ had to give up his Heisman many years after winning it (that's probably not an NCAA award, but it's sorta analogous).

Eric Dickerson and Craig James were gone from SMU by the time the Death Penalty came down.

Makes me think of "The U Part 2". Somewhere in there they had an interview that asked Al Golden "do you think it's fair y'all are being punished for the sins of previous administrations?" His answer..."Do I think it's fair? No, but those are the rules."

The ncaa isnt concerned about punishing the perpetrators as much as they are about trying to control the future actions of the school decision makers.

Anyone think SMU higher ups dont consider what happened every timr they hire someone?

 

[coach66]

Good point, I just can't imagine what the

Big 3's life would have been like in Oxford
if they turned states evidence and it was announced
in October 2015. They would have been run out of town.

And then Craig James went on to raise a little ***** of a son that matches his whoa is me, I am special attitude. With that being said, Leech was probably in the wrong, but man up dude.

You carefully skirted around the L word.
