Message: [QUOTE="General20, post: 1480115, member: 724"] I think our disagreement is mostly semantics. I agree with you that Syracuse was punished more harshly than peer schools with worse infractions. I just think that the correct way to fix it is not to punish Syracuse less, but to punish those other schools more . . . and frankly to catch more of the obvious rule breakers. The NCAA's punishments - including Syracuse's punishment - have no teeth, we will be competing for a national championship next year with zero lasting negative effects. The other half of this that nobody has brought up yet (but I have a feeling we are all on the same page) is that the NCAA's penalties hurt the students and the fans but fail to punish the actual cheaters. If you really want to stop cheating you fine the guilty schools money . . . and lots of it. [/QUOTE]
