No forfeits anymore. They'd vacate. Not an auto W for the teams that lost to them.

What's Sankey talking about?

You have to remember Miami case was under the prior penalty structure besides what was also mentioned, the investigations itself was compromised. They self imposed a 2 year bowl ban including the 2012 ACC championship game as well as several other self imposed penalties which the NCAA sited as part of the reason they did not hit them as hard on the loss of scholarships which was 9 over 3 years. They also received an additional 3 years probation. Without full cooperation, hard self imposed bowl bans for 2 years and a tainted investigation, Miami would have had much stronger penalties
These guys don't have to respond to the NCAA. They have absolutely zero subpoena power..... they could simply decline to respond. Just dumb on their part for talking at all.
Let me help:
"People have talked about institutional reputational harm [due to lengthy investigations]," said SEC commissioner Greg Sankey, who chairs the Division I infractions committee. "But I'm also concerned that when issues arise and we take years and years and years to get at the issues, it sets a tone for the rest of the membership that maybe they can try some things but maybe it will take some time to catch up [with penalties]."
Sounds like he's saying that lengthily investigations almost make it worth cheating to build a foundation and catch up with other teams.
Yeah, he's saying that, and I think he's also saying that such a protracted investigation period puts penalties so far in the future that it doesn't really matter. It's the "here and now", not 5 years down the road that seems to be important. I agree with him that there's no logical reason for taking so long.
Define "These guys"....
If you're an athlete in the NCAA, you have to respond or you're ineligible whether guilty or not. Same for coaches.
If you're talking about step daddy tunsil or someone not directly in the NCAA purview, then you shouldn't talk bc you have nothing to gain or lose. Step daddy chose to talk bc freeze smeared his name publicly and pissed him off.
