Miami sanctions

[stevestevens]

Lol.

This is not going to put fear into any team.

[James]

USC is even happier now I am sure. 

 

Pretty obvious that it was a bit personal with SC since the school didn't put any self sanctions on themselves. Kind of hard to say that the Miami situation wasn't much more widespread than what happened at USC. 

 

Simply put, the NCAA needs to go away. 

[AngelsLongBall]

LOL.  Not surprised in the least.  The only thing that may shine more light on the NCAA is McNair's lawsuit, which I've been told the NCAA is pulling all favors in terms of trying to get it thrown out

[stevestevens]

What they did to McNair is terrible when you consider Miami's staff is all still coaching and tressel could still get a job at a lot of colleges.

I love how the Trojans are so bent out of shape.

 

You guys can thank Mike Garrett.  He refused to cooperate at all with the NCAA and it cost SC huge.

[Tank]

roy firestone said something pretty well on his facebook page about all this yesterday. he has no issue with the ncaa handing out punishment to those who committed violations, but if something happened 5 years ago, why punish today's kids for it?

I am not a Usc fan by any means but you would have to be a complete Usc hater to deny the injustice in these rulings

I see you're still not getting it.

You'd find that definition under "nate"

[nate]

It is really easy for me to understand.  These other schools got caught, admitted it, and self sanctioned.

 

USC got caught, denied it, threatened the NCAA, were total arrogant pricks about it, and they fell on their swords.

I don't like USC.

 

I completely agree.

 

USC got absolutely jobbed beyond belief in retrospect.

...and that's absolute bullcrap. The NCAA shouldn't be in the business of operating emotionally like that.

[nate]

It has nothing to do with emotion.  The other schools cooperated with the NCAA investigation.  You always get leniency for cooperating.

 

Two other things.

 

Miami was a struggling school during this era.  USC was a juggernaut.

 

USC was already on probation when they got caught again and hired a scummy coach with a past for NCAA violations.

Hey McNair since you might have known about bush we are going to drag you through the mud and ruin your coaching career.

hey Frank Haith we can verify that you took money and are a complete piece of shit who has no respect for our rules. Please sit out five games.

All because one ad decided to bend over and hold their legs and the other did not. Sounds fair.

[mtangelsfan]

It's impossible to expect a UCLA fan to see anything clearly when it comes to USC.  It's ok Nate, I don't blame you.

 

Regardless, USC got their medicine.  While I think there is clearly a bias, Haden just needs to shut up and let the punishment run it's course. 

[RallyMo]

USC was unjustly punished relative to how everybody else is, even if you consider their arrogance.  I don't care how complete or non-existent their cooperation was.

 

Furthermore, even if Miami was cooperating even more than could be possibly expected, the nature of the activity there was so much greater in terms of ridiculousness that they should have seen penalties at least on par with what USC incurred.

 

The NCAA is a joke. They act unfairly. It's bullcrap.

[AngelsLongBall]

What Miami did was the real life version of Boats N Ho's.  That's...that's kinda awesome.

[Bruce Nye]

I think the NCAA realized they botched the investigation - didn't they fire the initial guy?  But 3 scholies for 3 years?

 

Take that!!!

[HaloCory22]

Good lord, Nate. The hate is strong in you. You can't honestly believe what you're saying... Right?

[stevestevens]

Take that!!!

9 schollies for 3 years (3 each year) . Cmon, that is big time.

Basically saying "hey ncaa teams, do whatever the hell you want, just make sure to wipe our butts and kiss our feet when we step onto your campus."

[Tank]

the ncaa just should have suspended usc for the first half of their first game, like they did with johnny football.

 

THAT'S how you learn a lesson.

I could take his post and make it into a piece that would garner almost unanimous support from fans of almost every school.

 

It's never good to begin with a middle finger (and one that's only being given because he doesn't understand the nature of his haters) to readers that would otherwise fully side with you.

 

What a whiner.

 

I really did love reading this work of absolute brilliance that he produced last year:

 

http://lostangelesblog.com/origin-of-arrogant-nation/

 

What undoubtedly highly hilarious and very successful television comedy does this guy write for? I ask because his satire is absolutely top notch. I'm serious. There is nothing better than his origins section. He might want to consider taking it down... unless it's actually satire.

 

He might like to crow about USC's academic status, but it sure seems to me that this particular bit of USC achievement has absolutely nothing to do with him.

 

He's a bit of a numbnutz.

I saw a whole bunch of those t-shirts at the salvation army with the tags still on. I thought toilet paper was a better option but they went with the t-shirt.

[stevestevens]

Is that guy wearing a black cat t-shirt in the photo on the top of the website? Thoughts on that rally?
