Brackey's proposed penalties for latest allegations

[JohnGalt]

With latest news of the courtship of Cox, etc. by agents and representatives external to MSU, we should look ahead as to what this means for the football program and MSU athletics, as a whole.

Some things are certain that we know going in. Under Bracky's Compliant Rules of Compliant Compliance, MSU will surely have to forfeit all games in which the perpetrators participated. Not a problem--MSU faithful (as well as Bracky's superiors) understand that this is a given. Done.

But another question left to answer is exactly how many games this season and into the future will MSU have to forfeit for our negligent institutional control. Is this season and the next sufficient? Seems a bit lite, but Bracky will likely propose that the team clean highways in orange jumpsuits during the planned game times to make sure the penalties are enough.

What about fines? Penn State reportedly had to pay $50MM for covering for a Michael Jackson on its coaching staff. I think we can safely say that Bracky can do better than this precedent. Let's say somewhere in the $45-47MM range. I know, it's a bit aggressive, but hope springs eternal with MSU football.

Our baseball team had several players drafted, so clearly there may have been some illegalities along the way. Combined with the perennial water drain-off concerns at Dudy Noble and their potential implications with the EPA, I think disbanding the baseball program for a decade would give MSU time to take a good look in the mirror and get our house in sound moral order.

Since we may be sued under Title IX for discrimination in only shutting down a men's program, women's something will need to go to prevent dragging MSU into costly litigation. In addition, to really make sure our hands are scrubbed clean, pick the women's program that loses the least money as a precaution. Have to think ahead or MSU athletics could suffer.

These prophylactic measures, plus doing away with the vet school, will ensure that Bracky makes MSU pay for these heinous infractions by taking it right up the ass.
