So...is it getting possible (possible not probable)...

nt

my guess-- 4 yr probation, 2-year bowl ban, 30 scholarships, a couple of show causes

It is my understanding that players on a team that receives a 2+ year bowl ban can transfer and play immidiately. That is the death nail. Players will bail. Recruiting will be very limited.

Don't forget that UAB just "death penaltied" themselves and are back now. It CAN happen.

What? UAB didn't self impose the death penalty. They did away with football for a year because of funding and the board of trustees. Not over violations.

That was my guess about 6 months ago. It's worse now.

I know that. But "same difference" (I've never typed that before). They killed their program for one year and came back.

When someone shuts you down, you move on to other things. You get into hunting, fishing, water polo, etc.. You find other things to fill your time.

When you don't get shut down but stink, you hold onto to the hope that things are turning around only to be continuously disappointed.

This is what I want to happen to them as a MSU fan. I want to blow out their walk-on legacy All-Stars 70-0 in the Egg Bowl about 5-6 times in a row and relegate them to Vanderbilt status or worse.

I want them to get blown out every SEC game and Vanderbilt to be considered ?an even match-up? for them. I want them to be barely competitive when they play the Citadel.

I don?t want to play USM or Alcorn in the Egg Bowl.

While the death penalty is unlikely, ask any "remaining" SMU fan whether they would have preferred a heavy probation instead of the death penalty. SMU "owned" Dallas and North Texas. Now, no one cares.

If they got the death penalty, they would likely get kicked out of the SEC. Think about it.:)

OM would love to be a private school that is not only out of the SEC but also the "first ones" to pull out of the NCAA. Now, they are on the same level of higher than Notre Dame.***
