You are a bunch of cheating wainches.

The NCAA is ordering Abilene Christian University to vacate 10 football victories from 2007 and placed the track program on two years' probation with school-imposed scholarship reductions.

Yeah, this was some really desperate stuff:

"During the Christmas holidays in 2006 and 2007, Hillcrest Church of Christ held parties for some of the international students at the home of an ACU assistant track coach. During those parties, 15 ACU track athletes were given gifts, including small appliances, DVDs, CDs, food items, personal items and cash donated by the church. Before those parties, another assistant had asked the head track coach for a list of international athletes who would be in Abilene during the holidays. Also, the NCAA said the head coach attended the parties and was aware of the gifts received by the athletes.

[football]...According to information provided by the NCAA, an assistant coach, who had previously coached one of the two recruits, helped the student enroll in an English correspondence course at another school and helped him complete the enrollment process. The assistant coach paid the postage and mailed the assignments to the institution to be graded.

The assistant coach, plus another assistant coach, allowed the two recruits to use their computers to complete their respective correspondence work so they could be eligible to play at ACU."

The 'cash payment' was a $545 loan to a sick international athlete who didn't have health insurance, and my understanding is it was or is being paid back. The help the football players got was the use of a coach's computer (no allegation he helped with the assignment) and two $.42 stamps. Some really, really big-time stuff here.

For this they got essentially the same penalty OU got for the Bomar mess. ACU self-reported; OU got caught. Makes lots of sense to me.

meh, ACU will still beat the crap out of asu next year....and the next....and the next, even with all of the sanctions.

with the current state of affairs... yes.

I would agree with cat's comments

punishment for these "violations" far outweigh any comparables out there....

The NCAA needs to severely punish the weak, so they can gloat about how they do hold schools up to certain standards.

It would be stupid to think that the NCAA would farily punish powerhouse schools with name brands.

The NCAA did however do a good job of PR and making it look like the took necessary actions against OU. However, anybody with any sense knows that OU basically got away with much much more than what the punishment was for.

karma for the school that scores 93 points in a football game, then during the kickoff as time expires runs a Cal style play with a bunch of laterals trying to score a touchdown so they can get to 100 pts.

They sure did have some incredible athletes at the NFL combine this year, I wonder what else they may be doing to improve their odds of success?

<karma for the school that scores 93 points in a football game, then during the kickoff as time expires runs a Cal style play with a bunch of laterals trying to score a touchdown so they can get to 100 pts.>

They didn't "run a Cal style play." The kid who caught the ball moved up the left sideline, looked like he was trying to run the clock out and then at the last second turned and lateraled. It went from there. Shouldn't have happened, but it was spontaneous, not planned. That's not the coach's style, at all.

Was it karma for giving the black student body president a noose on his chair?

and now that student body president is impeached for his conduct, many are speculating that he put the noose there....

ACU Racists are pushing him out
