Wouldn't it be sweet if...

[preacher_dawg]

The NCAA announced the death penalty or something close to it for OM an hour before game time.

 

[RightOfCenter]

That would be awesome. It would anarchy in the grove and stands would probably be empty.

 

[GloryDawg]

They would have to bring in the FBI to get Leo out of Oxford. It would be just like James Meredith all over again.

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

I know it's been talked about them getting death penalty like SMU and most say it won't be that bad. I would be interested to see a comparative chart of SMU's violations and OM violations. What the 17 did SMU do worse than OM to get the death penalty. Repeat offender?

UM is not getting the death penalty. To even be eligible for that you have to have been found guilty of major violations within the last 5 years. That option isn't even on the table. I do think they're going to get penalties that people nationally will still be talking about 10-20 years from now, like the USC probation or the Penn St case.

Yep. The death penalty is for repeat offenders only. Says so on the NCAA website. That's not even possible, according to the NCAA rules.

 

[patdog]

They're not getting the death penalty. But they might wish they had.

 

[Strike.sixpack]

The only way for the repeat offender death penalty to be handed out is if new major violations happened and are discovered after Oct of this year. That is the start of the clock because the WBB and Track penalties started. It does not have to be with the same sport.

The NCAA can issue it on egregious cases without the repeat offender status. They discussed it with Penn St.

 

[preacher_dawg]

Well of course, I didn't say I think it would happen, but wouldn't it be nice? At least give me my dream, especially after this past Saturday.

Btw, I don't think Ole Miss will get the death penalty, but I thought it might be possible because they had the letter from the NCAA, and still continued their cheerfulness in the last recruiting class. I'm beginning the penalties will be harsh.

 

[Moe Cabelle]

Hell, who would want them to get it? I'd rather pound them for a couple of decades and reverse the caught years, get us back on top as it used to be. I want them to wish they'd have gotten it.

Wild *** Guess here:

21 scholarships over 3 years.
3 years probation.
Vacated wins for games in which Tunsil played in 2013-2015.
25% reduction in recruiting visits.
25% reduction in evaluation days.
Show causes for 2 asst coaches.
Official Reprimand for Freeze. The NCAA will say Freeze was unaware of violations in recruiting, but the committee will note it is the head coach's responsibility to know the rules and ensure staff and coaches comply with them.

They will rejoice.

This is similar to what other schools have gotten, including Oregon when Greg Sankey was part of the enforcement committee. I don't see a bowl ban as a foregone conclusion due to us being in the SEC and the money/TV contracts in place.

Mainly I see it this way because frankly this is how **** is going for us lately.

 

[Rezpup]

In the Oregon case the head coach got a show cause in spite of "not knowing" about the infractions that occurred on his watch.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

I will be really disappointed if that happens. And if that is indeed the case, then we need to fire Bracky and start playing the game with the big boys too

 

[TheStateUofMS]

I don't mind dealing with a hypothetical scenario, as long as it's somewhat possible and this has literally a zero percent chance of happening.

They will go in front of the COI and the COI meets at certain times of the year, and Egg Bowl week isn't one of them.

So, this is a fantasy.

 

[patdog]

I'm taking the over. At least 30 scholarships lost and a 2-year bowl ban. 50-50 on a show cause for Freeze.

 

[Bulldogg31]

I know Kelly got a show cause, but this is Freeze and Ole Miss, which means I'll believe it when I see it. :|

 

[campshelbydog842003]

Less than 30 scholarships is very unlikely at this point IMO. They aren't giving out immunity for a mild punishment. The NCAA wants their ***.

 

[Cherokee]

Add a 4 game suspension to Freeze and it sounds about right.

The NCAA may just give them the Death Penalty for ***** and giggles.

This is crap. If this happens, we should cheat.
