If we assume one payment was for $3000, who said it was only $3000 overall? There could be a lot we don't know, but I hope not.

I actually think its going to be worse than that. More like the death penalty considering the severity of the accusations and we would be a repeat offender.

One that was making $180,000.00 per year to RECRUIT. THAT was the mistake. You want motive and a reason to keep something from Jeff and everyone else...there it is in a nutshell.
Personally I think Jeff is a good enough recruiter on his own merits to get good players. Focus on getting the best teaching assistants and move forward in the program.
True
I don't know if Coach Capel knew about the cheating or not. I don't think we'll ever know. I personally don't feel he should be fired. That being said I don't know if he outlasts the probation that OU will most certainly get hit with. It may be too much for him or the university to handle.
It wouldn't surprise me if they get a punishment similar to Baylor awhile back where they don't play any non-conference games and only conference games as to not affect the rest of the league. Certainly post-season ban is probably going to be part of the punishment. I don't see how this turns out good.
There's been more cheating in the OU basketball program the 6-8 years than 3 seasons worth of Desperate Housewives.

Stupid individuals! How can anyone in their right mind cheat while they are on probation. Capel is too smart to be caught up in this mess. This will cost him his job and also cost him any shot of running a big time program ever again. I do not believe Capel knew about this. I think he has too much class. I do think however that he should have been a little suspicious when it started raining Mickey D all americans in Norman.

You really think the punishment could be that severe?

The Baylor coach tried to hide a murder. This was just over 3000 bucks that our coach may or may not have known about and that player is no longer here and the NCAA looked at the issue during the season and cleared him.
Tony calls it satire, I call it the troof

Really, Rom? You think Jeff Capel must not be involved because he is "too smart" for that to be the case? College athletics history is littered with very intelligent people who broke the rules to get an edge.
To be honest I am not sure there is a single sentence in earlpearl's post that I agree with, but that was the most absurd, IMO.

Here's an idea. Capel had said a while back that he wasn't planning on filling all scholarships, right? Well, what if he's worried about the NCAA taking a couple away as punishment, and he decides to fill them up to circumvent that.
Could the NCAA take a scholarship away from a kid that has done nothing wrong?
I wonder if Capel's trying to beat the NCAA to the punch?
Complete conjecture, of course.

Well you have certainly picked the right thread.
Not trying to be an ahole at all. Actually I was throwing Capel a bone. It could be that a rotten apple will spoil Capel's cart before he makes the pie is all. Like I said I think Capel is a solid guy. His only failing may have been to give a particular assistant to much room. Yes, this is all conjecture.
Someone needs some kleenex.
