OT: Notre Dame football sanctions and the NCAA

N. Dame critical of NCAA after appeal denied

It's clear that people don't know up or down when it comes to these rulings. One could make the case that ND got off lightly. $5k? Vacate some wins?

Funny that the Pres. of ND may be pointing a finger at the UNC case, but when he says no other school gets punished the way ND does, he forgets how APR works.

"To impose a severe penalty for this retroactive ineligibility establishes a dangerous precedent and turns the seminal concept of academic autonomy on its head. At best, the NCAA's decision in this case creates a randomness of outcome based solely on how an institution chooses to define its honor code; at worst, it creates an incentive for colleges and universities to change their honor codes to avoid sanctions like that imposed here."

Why did ND's pres. wait so long to comment on the APR sanctions against UConn?

"...In compenstion, the NCAA vacated Notre Dame's 2009 loss to UConn, because we like to f ** k UConn over whenever we can."
