The NCAA routinely made Ole Miss and State the example for decades. Even though it benefited us in getting Jackie Sherrill out of Starkville, it’s still bullshite the punishments they received

We got penalized because a trucking company paid around 200 bucks extra to some players that was revealed during a nasty divorce and though we self sanctioned the ncaa drug their feet for 4 years before addressing it which killed recruitment leading to 2 losing seasons.

Us “lesser “ programs get screwed every time. That’s one reason our program doesn’t take chances on players who are great but have underlying issues, imo.

One of the level 1 violations we got punished for during the Freeze era was because of a player sleeping on his position coach's couch for two nights after getting kicked out of his GF's apartment. We self-reported it to the NCAA and then had the player pay an amount of money agreed upon by the NCAA to the coach as compensation. The NCAA still included that in the investigation.

It's the same level of violation as if the coach would have bought the player a house.
