>>The NCAA specifically accuses former assistant football coach David Saunders of wrongdoing related to manipulation of ACT scores and cash payments to one recruit. The matter is considered a “Severe Breach of Conduct (Level 1)” by the NCAA.

UL has acknowledged the ACT-related infractions for at least five of six student-athletes involved, but it refutes some of the language used by investigators and denies that any cash exchanged hands.

The Cajuns already have self-imposed various penalties, including vacating its entire 2011 season, which included nine wins and a New Orleans Bowl win over San Diego State.

Other self-imposed actions include but are not limited to:

— terminating Saunders;

— a two-year probation period;

— reducing initial football grants-in-aid (scholarships) by three in 2016-17 and three more in 2017-18;

— reducing total grants-in-aid by five in 2015-16, by three in 2016-17 and by three in 2017-18;

— reducing off-campus recruiting by 40 days in 2015-16 and ’16-17;

— reducing official visits by recruits to 44 in 2014-15 and 38 in 2015-16; and

— withholding unnamed players from competition.

UL said in its response to the NCAA that the school also considered imposing a postseason ban for 2015, but they ultimately opted against that.<<

Meanwhile in Baton Rouge and the rest of the SEC, chuckling. One possible exception in Nashville.

And Oxford, Miss. Saunders was part of the Ole Miss staff a few years ago when they magically started pulling in 5* recruits, including kids that other schools all backed off of for academic reasons.

ULL had the Player of the Year in Mississippi, and not one SEC school recruited the kid because he wasn't going to get in. He magically got a 28 on the ACT (like 1100 on the old SAT scoring model) and got in to school.

And in breaking new, UNC just found out that there were potential violations on women's golf team and thus have to delay their response of the NCAA violations leveled against their men's basketball and football programs another 6 months (to the tune of the chant at the Rent, 'another UConn 1st Down'). I am joking (maybe).

LSU must have done something really bad to get ULL in this much trouble.

These jokes never stop being funny.
