Message: [QUOTE="HuskyBballFan, post: 255057, member: 1761"] Uconn had a really bad score in 2010, for which they were punished with a loss of 2 scholarships (since those were the rules at the time...bad APR = loss of scholarships). In October of 2011, the NCAA changed the rules and said that now bad APR = no postseason. The only problem is they applied this new rule retroactively to old scores. As soon as they changed this rule, Uconn had a 0% chance of qualifying since the 2010 score was still being used, so even a perfect score in 2011 wouldn't have brought them over the new threshold. The biggest Uconn complaint is if you're going to change the punishment structure, at least do it on a "go forward" basis. You can't change the rules and apply them retroactively. The law doesn't even work that way, but the NCAA is allowed to do it? [/QUOTE]
