You guys got off incredibly easy with the Cam investigation AND the Eric Ramsey case which for all the wailing and gnashing of teeth resulted in almost no schollies being lost. Alabama had to give up 21 wins and forever because of a stupid textbook "violation". The exact same textbook violation that Nebraska committed recently and received zero penalty for. Only very recently has the NCAA started giving Alabama the same benefit of the doubt they've afforded Auburn for the last 20 years.

Two year post-season ban, no television for one year........or a few schollies.....which is worse?

quote:

The NCAA infractions committee hit the school with one of its toughest penalties in recent years in the wake of charges that a former player received cash from Auburn coaches and boosters.

Auburn was placed on two-years' probation and will be banned from postseason play for the next two years. In addition, Auburn also received a one-year television ban, a seldom-used sanction in the 1990s. The ban is for this year, but it may be pushed into next season because of the school's contractual commitments.

Got off easy with the Cam investigation? Not sure being the center of a witch hunt for something you were deemed innocent/no proof of is easy.

The Eric Ramsey debacle had us post season banned during an undefeated season, lost scholarships and no tv. How in the world do you think that is an easy punishment?

Alabama just had a coach admit to loaning money to players and received zero punishment. The same offense was committed by Auburn under Pat Dye and cost them 2 years TV ban and bowl ban. Alabama fans have absolutely zero room to talk
