Objectively, if we got hit with these sanctions

I think we'd regard it as severe.

We'd have had an awful 2017 signing class.

2018 would be awful as well.

We would have fired our favorite coach of all time.

We'd be stuck with Hevesy as head coach.

We'd be facing losing an entire signing class of schollys over next four years.

Our recruiting network would be hampered to do their bidding.

We'd be viewed as a laughingstock and a dirty program by the whole nation.

Fitz, Aeris, several others would be transferring out.

I think I'd be sick about it.

I'd suggest that most here thought the sanctions were fair when the scholarship total was 24 but that most think they are light at 13. You don't seem to have realized the latter point yet.

Ah, I read differently this morning on ESPN.

They only lost 13, half of which were already enforced in past classes.

Thats the main surprise, especially when you compare to recent cases (USC) and the penalty matrix.

They only have 4 more schollies to serve up in the next class. Serving up 6 in this one, which was going to be a loss regardless.

They got off incredibly light. Barely more severe than ours in Jackie's exit in a similar circumstance.
