[SIZE=18px]All I have to say is thank goodness the NCAA is rooting out the truly dirty deeds that are being engaged in by the really dirty programs.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12px]"The  circumstances  surrounding  the  impermissible  financial  aid  are  unique in  that they occurred when student-athletes moved off-campus after the start of the semester and UMass did not readjust their financial aid.  The student-athletes fell into two categories: (1) student-athletes who continued to receive a telecom fee associated with dorm phones after they moved off-campus and (2) student-athletes whose on-campus housing  was more  expensive  than  their  off-campus housing.   Eight student-athletes  received  the  impermissible  telecom  fee.   Four  student-athletes received  the impermissible higher housing rate. One student-athlete received both. [B][I]In total, UMass provided a little over $9,100 in impermissible aid to the 12 student-athletes."  [/I][/B][an average of $758 per student athlete]

"Further, although UMass' financial aid monitoring process did not detect the financial aid overages for 12 student-athletes over a three-year period, [B][I]UMass financial aid distribution and monitoring processes properly awarded aid 98 percent of the time during the relevant time period.[/I][/B]  Although there is not a percentage threshold attached to when a failure to monitor is demonstrated and when one is not, basedon the totality of circumstances of this case, UMass did not fail to monitor. "[/SIZE]

Let me guess, another program that self reported.

When are they going to start penalizing the programs that are actually cheating...you know intentionally funneling real money to their athletes?   Instead they continue to spend lots of time and money on penny ante B.S.??
