I thought the NCAA was a bit frustrated as Tunsil did not work with them as much when they were investigating pre-Draft issues? On the one hand I'm with Laremy as nothing positive can come personally through doing anything more than you already have.
However, Reggie Bush has been purged from the history of USC. Their Hall of Champions does not mention him. Not once. He hasn't been back to campus since returning his Heisman Trophy.
Couldn't the NCAA require the institution to disassociate the player from the program as a punitive measure for failing to cooperate with investigators or an investigation after you leave the institution due to declaring for the pro ranks or using your eligibility up?
I'm genuinely unsure how Tunsil feels about OM. But if they vacate and get punished at all because of violations relating to impermissible benefits provided to him, I could see that as a tool at the NCAA's disposal. The question is would that potential outcome coerce Tunsil?
For me it would but most fans have a much different sense of fealty towards their alma mater...

The whole erasing history stuff really pisses me off.
I mean literally no one will remember tunsils name here in 3 years but people like Reggie bush who won the heisman should be recognized. That was the most amazing runs I've seen my entire life. And I hated USC

Funk - You are correct to a point. However, Tunsil and our compliance officials went to Indianapolis and apologized for Tunsil's "reluctance" to be more forthcoming with information.
The 7-game penalty received NCAA's blessings and good wishes. I believe the meeting in Indy was after the 5th week of suspension.
