FSU and Alabama Public Infraction Reports

Brian has done an excellent job finding and posting two Public Infraction Reports for schools with similar violations to Michigan's. I looked around the internet a little, and found a summary of Alabama's last few run-ins with the NCAA and the report from Florida State's recent violations.

These cases were both much more severe than Michigan's, so I wanted to show what the upper bounds were for the NCAA right now. Alabama's is interesting, because the school and its boosters did some crazy shit and lost only 21 scholarships from 1995-1997. This is a huge penalty for some bad stuff, including $24000 in loans and a lack of institutional control.

Remember, major violations is a technical term, not necessarily a description of awfulness. I'm posting this mainly because I thought there might be interest in this after the morning email.

It's all John Navarre's fault.

I still have some irrational fear that we get screwed by the NCAA. I realize that example after example of this stuff is provided from Alabama to FSU to tUofOSU but damn, why am I worried?

Because it's natural to think in extremes. We'll be fine, although the board will explode with righteous anger regardless of the penalties. I'm hoping for a combination of vacated wins and scholarship penalties the team can retroactively apply to the past couple of years when they weren't at full strength, but I expect practice time reductions and maybe a couple scholarships.

It's all John Navarre's fault.

It would be irrational for UM to be punished for checking that it's students were in class. It is perfectly rational however that once your are accused of murder [armed robbery, but really they are the same thing, as far as FREEP is concerned] you are automatically guilty. Get with the program.
duh.

I dont think vacated wins will happen. I think the interview with the compliance guy said that eligibility has to be in play for wins to be vacated.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a reduction in scholarships, some reduction in practice time, and some coach and AD-specific penalties that don't really affect the day-to-day operations. Maybe also some limits on recruiting, but I'm not sure how that would work if no recruiting violations were identified. But I'd be surprised if wins were vacated, and while I have a fear that UM will ultimately get screwed somehow, this certainly won't rise to the Alabama and FSU levels.

UM wont get screwed.If the likes of USC/FLORIDA/ALABAMA dont get screwed for their doings we wont either couse we are just as big if not bigger than them. Be confident Michigan is one the best universities with some of the smartest defending it. Im not saying we will get off without nothing im just saying it wont be as big as some you are thinking

The NCAA is about as consistent as Morgan Trent is a lock down corner. That's why I fear the ruling to come.
