Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 1480481, member: 40"] Kudos for making a well reasoned first post, and welcome to the board. But there is virtually nothing in your analysis that I agree with. A governing body making an example out of someone with penalties that don't fit the infractions is the definition of excessive punishment, especially when the penalties are capricious, arbitrary, and out of whack with precedent. Sorry, I am not willing to accept that we need to get hammered because it is acceptable for the NCAA to make an example out of us, when their modus operandi is to look the other way as other teams cheat with impunity. And that's why the University has legal recourse, if the NCAA doesn't rule favorably on the appeal. Justifiably so -- the NCAA makes Roger Goodell seem like an impartial arbitrator. [/QUOTE]
