3 years probation forfeit 13 wins

I wish they would vacate the time I spent watching them play after Midnight in Alaska.

that series was ugly

It sounds like we got a good deal from the NCAA. In the big scheme of things, losing one scholarship for a program that was already on probation is relatively minor.

My guess is that if Capel had still been the coach the penalties might have been worse.

i doubt it since he was not mentioned for any wrong doing and because the NCAA has started the thing with punishments following coaches to their new destinations.

 

[Sam]

Weren't you already on probation when these violations occurred?

Yes, OU was already on probation, which is why OU is lucky it was so light. Now with Kruger coaching I don't think there will be any further violations.

It is truly an era in college sports of holding million-dollar coaches accontable. Goodbye Jim Tressel, goodbye Butch Davis, goodbye Felton J. Capel III. We are getting rid of you now before the NCAA drops the ban hammer on us because we don't want what happened to USC football to happen our program.

It is times like this when we should hug Stoops, Kruger and Sherri just a little bit more (if that doesn't creep em out, heh). I think we have a solid trio finally in our top programs. Even if there isn't BCS bowls, Big 12 titles and Final Fours every year, that's worth something these days.

The "real" punishment was waiting an extraordinary amount of time for this to finally come down. At least now other schools (cough osu) can't use it against OU in recruiting.

i find out that if they get caught by breaking the same rule they can have the sports program suspended for 1-2 years

According to this, we dodged that with this argument:

In reporting the Taliaferro case in July, Oklahoma admitted to two major rules violations but asked the NCAA for leniency despite its second serious infractions case in the last five years. The school conceded it does qualify under the description of repeat violator — having two major infractions cases within five years in the same sport — but said previous cases show those penalties "are not appropriate in this case."

"This is an isolated incident involving a single member of the coaching staff, who clearly knew his lack of action to prevent or report the violation was not acceptable," the university said.

The NCAA agreed, saying "the violations in this case were serious, but limited" to one player and Taliaferro.

Fire Jeff Capel!

Ah, so a slap on the wrist. It took them that long to take a scholarship away?

I understand what you're saying, but it was not just a slap on the wrist. The time it took for the NCAA to decide OU's fate, cost us a lot more in recruiting and adverse publicity than the penalties outlined here. No one will ever convince me that the NCAA infractions committee didn't intentionally drag their all-too-powerful feet to make us suffer.

Nevertheless, I'm glad it's over and that the University and everyone associated with our basketball program, including fans, can finally move on.

I said the same thing. The NCAA can cover up the Cam-Scam over night but took this long to decide on this.
That was the real punishment. Waiting...

When the does the scholarship loss take an effect...this year, next year or the year after. If this year than we got lucky. If next, who loses their scholarship...if the year after than that will be good as well.

+1. Annoying as hell, good thing Coach is still doing his thing on the recruiting trail.

 

[CMSOONER]

So how long do the limited recruiting efforts last? Will it just be for one season?

I read what you said after posting my own thoughts. Not surprising, since we have been on the same page for a very long time.

It gripes my butt, too, that the NCAA investigated (yeah, right!) the Newton play-for-pay scheme and came back with a quick decision so he could contine to play, while it took them nearly three years to render a verdict on the Gallon/Taliaferro case. The politics surrounding this whole affair is what makes me so angry I could bite a nail in half!

I don't see how the NCAA should have handled it any different. TMZ just broke the story in 2010 AFTER our season was finished. Tiny left school before our next game so there was no player eligibility for them to determine.

The investigation just wrapped up and OU submitted our proposed sanctions on July 28 of THIS YEAR. The NCAA announces their decision right before the open of the next basketball season.

All this anti NCAA garbage is nonsense. The NCAA did exactly what they should have done in a time frame that makes perfect sense.

The allegations against Cam Newton were made during a football season when his team was bidding for the national title. If he was involved they wanted to know to prevent him from playing. That was never the case with Tiny so there was zero reason for them to expedite the investigation.

It'll be interesting to see how O-State treats this in the "overall record" section of their BBall media guide.

They are free to expunge whatever they want from that season... if we are free to expunge their Big 12 tourney victory over our Elite Eight team in BG's final season

Agreed. Besides, wasn't it only recently that Coach T started cooperating? Makes it hard to have an investigation when one of the few people involved won't talk.

 

[sybarite]

I placed the NCAA on permanent probation a number of years ago. I hope that the rest of the sports world eventually catches up.

I missed something. Didn't the NCAA make what Sampson did legal this year? Didn't they make what they accused Wilkinson of (providing scholarships to players that had completed their eligibility until they graduated) legal?

Give it up to Joe C. He has done a fantastic job with the basketball program. 2013!
