The NCAA erasing 21 Alabama football victories from 2005-2007 doesn't exactly help any Bama fan's argument right now. This was in recent history.

What Alabama fan anywhere in this thread claimed Alabama was squeaky clean? No one that I'm aware of. You trying to act like Alabama's textbook case was some SMU level scandal by citing the fact that 16 sports got probation doesn't make it so. Literally the ONLY reason the textbook case was even considered a major violation case was because those "infractions" dated back to 2005 which was in the 5 year window from the Means case. Therefore, repeat violator no matter how silly or minor the violations were.
The textbook "scandal" was the equivalent of kids getting an extra toy in their Happy Meal at McDonalds because of a glitch in the computer system running McDonald's promotions. The vast majority of Bama athletes unknowingly got extra unallowed school supplies in most cases worth less than $50. Four or five of the football players resold their used books at discounts to other students which you can do as a regular student but not if you're an NCAA athlete. Nebraska had the exact same textbook "scandal" in their athletic department but received no penalty because they weren't considered repeat violators.
The Means and Langham cases were much more serious violations. Just want to clarify the textbook case wasn't even remotely in the same universe as the Means case and trying to compare the two is laughable.
