what casual fans perceive as a major violation are deemed as secondary in nature by the NCAA. So fans want the hammah to come down when the NCAA sees it as secondary in nature and only punish with a slap on the wrist. Is there an example of what you perceive as an injustice

However repeated secondary violations of the same nature or INTENTIONAL violations are major violations.

Given the fact that Bama reported the Davis-Fluker situation in May, you'd have to expect that they touched base with their coaches about violations.

Harris signed a statement once a year saying that we has/would report any violations "he has knowledge of" and also had to pass a test. He knew exactly what he was doing was in violation of the rules.

He is a paid employee of UA. He is a member of the athletic department and coaching staff.

Compounding his breaking of the rules with the loan, he failed to report it and as a member of the coaching staff allowed a player to participate in four games knowing he was ineligible (I think that makes 20-straight counting Fluker)

Yes, for HCD his correct punishment is to be suspended a game or two. Relatively minor.

But for Alabama, bc Harris is a paid employee and football staff member THE UNIVERSITY intentionally committed the violation, failed to report it and allowed an ineligible player to play.

Along with Fluker playing a full season after taking money from an Alabama booster who was working for an agent and playing for a whole season, Bama should be punished. Vacate all wins where ineligible players played, lose 2-3 scholarships and 2 years probation. Disassociate Davis from the program
