Cal-Poly hit with NCAA probation for extra book money
Pretty straight forward. Apparently some book stipends for players were “excessive” or over the allowable limit. School to vacate wins where ineligible players paid. Guess this is what happens when you don’t get caught on wiretap discussing payments to players. The NCAA is such trash!

I’m on mobile. Apologies if the format sucks!
Played, not paid, Freudian slip. Still can’t edit the OP. Sorry, not sorry.
Reading more books is contrary to the NCAA's core mission of exploitation.
Probably purchased one too many Frappecinos at the campus bookstore for the NCAA’s liking.
To be honest giving more money for a books stipend sounds like a smart way to cover up paying your players given that at a school like Cal Poly athletes being students is actually a thing. So it wouldn't seem odd that your players need more money for books.
Someone had to get in trouble for the FBI wiretap. Guess it was Cal Poly’s turn
That'll teach them to play skool....
If Cal-Poly had more banners, no one would have said anything
LSU dying of laughter right now
What do you mean? Cal Poly is being punished BECAUSE of LSU. Serves them right.

Because of NORTH CAROLINA; get it right!
Wonder what USC did to get the book thrown at Cal Poly
My first reaction to this was that USC must have done something horrible.
Poor kids....at North Carolina they wouldn't have had to waste the stipend on books either.
We all knew Poly was dirty.
How dare you say that about UNCheat...sheeesh
Shakes head in disgust.
Let this be a warning to LSU!

I think you mean let this be a warning to Cal Northridge.
So Cal Poly gets penalized for giving players enough money to buy books. And UNC gets off scott-free for sending 'students' to admittedly fake classes.
Seems about right. The NCAA is a completely fucked up institution...
NCAA is irrevelant and a new system should be set up - I don't see how they don't punish Izzo, Coach K, LSU, Kansas, AZ, etc for cheating or other violations. But punish a decent school giving money for actual school related items, while other players families are getting houses, cars, job.
Welcome to Political Science!

Somebody had to pay for LSU's recruiting violations. Justice has been served.
Exactly... because we all know if we held a candle up to LSU to see what was going on, we'd probably ignite the fumes in the stadium, and it would explode!
Just sayin'...

I guess it's back to Ampipe for that Djordjevic kid!
How's that possible? Damn... I needed an extra loan just for my books, they ARE EXPENSIVE!
Or maybe they were black market books, with test exploits in the margins? Hmmmmm
