5. Provide vastly upgraded new car, "loaners" to key players, recognizing that if he gets caught, he may have to miss s few games, but at least we'll have him the rest of his college career.Quote:

I think reasonable minds disagree with this. We are better. We've won without it. Championships won without being earned are not championships. But they are for some.Quote:

That's not what CJ Johnson said....!!!!!Quote:

A large portion of the top end recruits are looking for something and you can't really compete for a NC without a decent amount of that type talent on your team.Quote:

I have heard so much stuff on what the ncaa can and cant do. they have 8 level ones i think, i mean if that is not enough to get a couple years bowl ban then what is.
If the setback is, "no less" than where they were before, then it encourages cheating. What do you think their fans prefer...several continuous years of sucking with no end in sight, or a few years of sucking, followed by a few years of top-notch-recruiting, high-end bowls, highest ranking since integration, a SB trophy (albeit it a watered-down one), followed by a return to exactly where they were before the cheating?Quote:

It's taking a long time because like a police investigating a crime scene every time the NCAA has packed up their bags to leave Oxford they have tripped over the body of a dead prostitute on the way out of the door.
It's not because OM has such a beautiful campus or that OM's compliance staff "invited" them back.
No, it's because the more the NCAA digs the more they find. That's why they sent an NOA, received a response and are STILL INVESTIGATING.
OM will be hammered just because of the sheer volume of infractions. Unlike the past the NCAA now has a matrix to follow for punishment.
Even by a miracle of the false prophet Hugh Freeze the best that OM can hope for is mitigated circumstances on every violation. That's unlikely because what excuse can you make for all these "mistakes". But even if that were to happen the mitigated punishments would still add up to substantial penalties.
Remember Level 1 means that the violation "threatens the integrity" of amateurism. They threatened the integrity of the sport 8 times and there is more to come after the completion of the ongoing investigation.
Anyone saying OM isn't going to get hammered has either been deluded by the NCAA's past, OM's "superiority" or is blowing smoke up your butt.
