Message: [QUOTE="jordoo, post: 2222024, member: 569"] There are a few factors. First we self reported, that is just plain stupid and every kid is born knowing not to do it. You deserve a penalty for that. Second the NCAA has had it out for JB for a long time and he doesn't hold back with his words, they hung around for 7 or 8 years trying to get enough to end his career. Third its easier for the NCAA to come down harder on smaller private universities than large public ones. There is no real political backlash because there isn't much state or fed dollars involved. In general though I feel that the University should have done a better job and if they couldn't and the NCAA was just not allowing for negotiation then they should have filed with the courts. The NCAA has no defense for its inconsistency, process of information gathering or decision making. Its a sham every time they go to court. [/QUOTE]
