I figured that's what they were going to get...I accepted that penalty was coming about a month ago, it is what it is.

Sounds like the Trojans' 04 season will be wiped out too, making them the best zero-peat dynasty of all time.

Does that mean OU can claim a NC?

It's the football one, the basketball one might be worse....

USC is in a pretty s3rious transition period, hopefully it won't hurt recruiting to bad since it's not a death penalty ban.

At this point, I'd be fine with just moving the needle. It's half equal and half slightly unequal right now? How about we move to 2/3 and 1/3?

When you consider the athletic department income for most of these schools is way above 50-60 million total from all sources, What is 2 or 3 million, really?

I think that issue is just an irritation to Nebraska, its not why they are apparently leaving. It's simply because the Big 10 is rich right now, and the Big 12 is locked into a lousy contract through 2015 or whenever it expires.

Sure the Big 12 might eventually get a lot closer, but thats a long time to wait and they probably are also concerned that if they let this opportunity close and the Big 12 falls apart in a couple years for some other reason, they are screwed.

this has nothing to do with the topic but can you explain your avatar? is it a Canadian dude jumping off a boat into a shark's mouth? amirite

And we know why Pete Carroll bailed when he did. This ****ing guy ends up smelling like roses.

**** up a team.. then move on. Sooo shitty.

Holy ****, it's a loss of 20 football scholarships. Wow.

Whoa if these reported sanctions are true this is ****ed up, it says loss of 20+ scholarships...

Looks to me like the NCAA is going over the top to appease people who wanted SC to be punished. Expect a serious appeal on this and some of it to be overturned in court if true because some of this is WAY over the top.

I have no idea. I saw it somewhere, cropped it to fit Chiefsplanet size and KB standards, and used it. It is apparently a popular avatar because I see it occasionally on other boards.

It is like my signature, it has no point except I think its funny. A lot of people dress up their signature and avatar to mean something profound or unique to them. My signature and avatar mean nothing to me, other than just something to amuse myself.

It's so excessive you'd think there was video of Carroll handing guys envelopes of money.

It's incredibly ridiculously over the top, so here comes the appeal and legal fight..

Uh.... whoa.

Peanut sighting. Holy shit.

If UCLA every wanted to live up to his potential as a football school, now would be the time.

I knew SC was over the salary cap...

By the by, Memphis + Louisville + Cincinnati are available and bring awesome basketball, top 50 markets, and improving football programs. Just, you know. Just saying.

Colorado, Nebraska, and Mizzou bolting was kind of my dream scenario, but if the even crazier stuff happens this might be too enormous a shakeup to really end up benefiting Memphis much at this point.
