OT - SIAP: Georgia Tech gets slammed by NCAA
So, 4 years of probation and 2 years of recruiting time reductions.
For 312$ and one tipped off player about an interview
Just thought it might give some perspective on the whole "I wonder if OSU is going to get off easy"
Comparison
OSU had 5,000 dollars in impermissible benefits, directly lied and impeded on the investigation being started and finally did not even take more than 2 years of probation.
To qoute CCR:
I see, a baddd moon a risin.. I see trouble onnn the way..
but... but they're fully cooperating. And... and.... and they got rid of Tressel! That's enough, right?
/s
Yeah, but that punishment is pretty light, I'm sure OSU would be thrilled with anything close to that. Probation means nothing unless you get caught again, and losing "recruiting time" doesn't mean all that much either.
The punishment is pretty light, but it could have been even lighter if GT had cooperated.
...doesnt have prior violations either, do they?
Yeah, the noncooperation really killed them.
But I thought Ohio didn't get the repeat offender tag.
The NCAA did cite Georgia Tech as a repeat violator, and the NCAA report says that "the committee also took into account the fact that the institution is considered a repeat violator" when determining the penalties.
As for OSU, in their response to the NCAA notice of allegations, they admitted that they are subject to the repeat violator bylaw, but they argued that repeat violator penalties were "inappropriate" in their case. We'll see whether or not the NCAA agrees with their argument.
I was doing some reading today on the latest OSU troubles and I read that the OSU players actually got $10k. With the NCAA asking for the next 3 years tv schedule I see some very heavy hammering coming their way in a few weeks.
I was not aware of this...is there a link? I was getting tired of seeing Ohio on tv anyway.
But I enjoyed the mauling of their mascot.
i am desperately hoping for scholarship reductions and a bowl ban-i want them to be losing on tv as often as possible
Where is this NCAA tv schedule talk and is there actually a realistic shot at a tv ban? I think that would hurt their own and everyone else's in the B1G income
forgive the high level of ignorance here but would a tv ban mean that tsio would no longer be on TV? resulting in the UM tsio game not being televised or does that mean that they would simply not recieve any funds from the networks?
I know nobody thinks they will get a tv ban because it punishes the other teams too much. My idea is to give tsio a 1 or 2 year tv ban and make them pay the other schools the estimated amount to cover the revenue lost by not being televised. Sure it's harsh but it would be a great deterant to other schools.
Do you know what the TV revenue is for the OSU-UM game alone? That punishment would be crazy. We're talking millions of dollars they would have to pay, in addition to the millions they would lose.
How is this "slammed?"
For one, the recruiting stuff - limited official visits and all that - is basketball and unrelated. Had something to do with staffers supervising a tournament they weren't supposed to be. Actually that part seemed fair.
But GT earned itself "repeat violator" status by having this happen before November 2010, and they vacate one win - par for the course in an ineligible player case - and go on probation. That's it. I think they got off easy. Super easy. Probably less easy than they would've had they done things right in the first place, but it seems to me the NCAA has this notion that vacating wins is a really tough penalty and will be a major deterrent. Earth to NCAA: no it won't.
these violations would have been considered secondary, and the NCAA likely would have wrist slapped.
Since they didn't cooperate they were considered major, hence this is not a lite sentence in my opinion.
