Message: [QUOTE="zeekay, post: 260842, member: 905"] a) Not all school are equal. There is a huge separation between mid majors and BCS level schools. They live in different worlds and not in NCAA fairy land. Just by the virtue of big time athletics, schools like UCONN and Syracuse will have more students leave early than someone like Siena. Seriously how many bball players will leave Siena before their senior year? This makes it a lot more likely that they finish their work and thus less likely that they get punished compared to BCS schools. b) Punishment is out of proportions. Schools like Siena who see the tournament once every 10 years will not be impacted if their APR is somehow screwed up. The year they get banned they probably weren't making the tourney anyway. UCONN and Syracuse are in the tourney every year so a ban can easily mean millions of dollars in damages to the school. Completely uneven punishment scale. APR sucks. [/QUOTE]
