Message: [QUOTE="bballbeadle, post: 1648916, member: 548"] Yes, BUT. The NCAA is anything but compassionate. We know they are hypocrites. The system is totally distorted. Capital punishment is supposed to deter capital crimes. Doesn't work, but at least when the criminal is caught,s/he is the one who is punished. (I am not for the death penalty but am trying to make an analogy here.) When school infractions are discovered - or self-reported - the NCAA usually can't punish the offenders because they are long gone - so they punish the innocent. I believe they do this without qualm. It will be interesting to see, Alsacs, if they do anything at all to show compassion. What I despise about the NCAA is their sheer vindictiveness. It is because of this vindictiveness that schools pull the pre-emptive trigger in an attempt to appease them. [/QUOTE]
