2019 Recruiting Thread

I know that we like to act like they got slapped on the wrist (and they did from a scholarship standpoint), but between the cloud of the investigation, losing Freeze, diminished fan support/donations/attendance, the cost of defending themselves, the 2 year bowl ban and all of the less sexy sanctions, it was a huge blow to their football program. If they were to get caught again, inside the repeat violator window, it would be disastrous. I'm not saying they won't cut any corners, but they absolutely will tone it way down for the next few years.

I don't know if you are a Beverly Hillbilly, but the loss of 8M in bowl revenue and 2-3M in legal fees is a major hit to me! The unofficial visit restriction (if it can be enforced) is a major handicap as all other schools can offer unlimited visits. Time on campuses is an important recruiting tool.

Don’t they get that money at the end of their suspension though?

That's why I said only 8M. They get 2 years @ 8M/year (if they lose the appeal) or 16M, at the end of probation they get 50% back, but they lose the other 50%. At least that's how it used to work.

Ok i see now. That makes sense.
