This whole thread is "I've heard, rumors are, etc, etc."
Let me play, I've heard that it is....USC again.

Those are blogs and sport forums, sure they have have "facts" on their sites, but if those are facts, why had no other news media source picked up the story? Why are no other SEC papers or sport writers really picking this up?
I've seen nothing legit on this. So, until I see someone of authority saying shit is about to go down, I remain skeptical.

I have no problem with them bumping it to 5 and saying "rather than miss the bowl game, you're sitting an extra game next year." I'd also have had no problem with them saying "you'll sit the bowl game and the first 3 next year."
as long as their is a precedent for the punishment being given i have no problem with it. don't want any punishment? don't do any crime. and if you're not sure if what you're doing is kosher, look it up. accidental violations are still violations.

Though I don't agree w/ letting the 5 Buckeyes play in the Sugar Bowl, the punishment was following the NCAA by-laws. Also, I doubt the NCAA had enough at the time to do anything with Newton. The NCAA doesn't have subpoena powers, so they only have what the FBI can give them at the time to work with.password;695676 wrote:This just goes to show that the NCAA is a joke and all they were concerned about was the implications it would have on the National Championship game and its revenue.This was the year of looking the other way with the Newton pay for play scheme and then they suspend the Ohio State players 5 games next year when they should have been suspended as soon as the violations were made public.They are only concerned about money and that will never change.We all know that Auburn would have had their butts handed to them if Newton was ineligible and Ohio State would have been Embarrassed again on the grand stage without their players.They did not have a problem punishing USC for Reggie because his parents may have accepted money or a home.
Before anyone throws a temper tantrum about my Ohio State comment, you have to be fair with the punishment regardless of what the school name is.
