Message: [QUOTE="stamfordhusky, post: 3216457, member: 649"] Not sure that is true. Based on the NCAA records, there has been a slight decline in the past 18 months in D1 schools found guilty of major violations. But 2016-17 had a much higher number of violations than any other years going back at least a decade. If 2019 is the start of a decline, it will be due to harsher punishments directed at coaches, more smoking guns due to cell phones/texts/etc, more money at stake for the D1 programs, and better enforcement agents. Here are the number of D1 major violations per year - for all sports - as reported by the NCAA for the last decade: 2019 (six months) 8 2018 15 2017 20 2016 23 2015 13 2014 8 2013 9 2012 10 2011 15 2010 14 2009 13 Note: Each violation shown above represents one school that got nailed. It often was for multiple sports however. [/QUOTE]
