Just for comparison, what's the conference record for all the other teams dealing with a suspended coach and scholarship reductions?[/I][/B]

I asked you how the scholarship reductions effected our aforementioned record relative to the 25-0 start.  You conveniently chose to not answer the question, ignored it, and deflected it by adding another separate question.  I'll answer it though.

I never said nor implied that JB being suspended didn't have any effect, I believe it did.  And, yes, I believe the self-imposed ban demoralized the team somewhat, however, there is absolutely no way you can say unequivocally, as a matter of proven fact, that we would've won more games had the ban not occurred. We were a serious bubble team prior to the self-imposed ban (hence all the national publicity that this was a lame move because Syracuse was questionable to make the tourney anyway, etc.)  I also recall that many felt that possibly they would play more inspired because of same...treating every single game for the remainder of the season as the last.

Again, I'm interested in the actual recruits you claimed we lost due to the sanctions.
