re: Discussion Thread for McClover/Keys allegations and purported HBO story

No the NCAA rule on statute of limitations reads similarly to how legal statute of limitations laws read. If something is obscured the statute of limitations does not begin to toll until the obscured knowledge becoems public.

The reason is that schools self-report themselves. A school could elect not to report certain items and then the statute of limitations expires. That's why the NCAA like the law has a "soft cap" on the SoL. They (the NCAA) may find something that has concealed while investigating something else.

So in essence the SoL could be waived for as long as a period as so desired. In Auburn's case since many of the principals that were invovled with the Eric Ramsay case are still associated with Auburn the NCAA could hit Auburn with violations from the nineites if it can be demonstrated that there was a pattern and the events were not isolated from current ongoing allegations.
