This is a follow up article to my original analysis of NCAA football penalties through the years. Â Although I had planned to get this out earlier, life has intervened. Â In the end, though, it’s perhaps instructive to look one more time just ahead of UNX’s pre-Halloween date with the NCAA. In this analysis, I will […]

NCAA Football Scandals – Penalty Analysis
As we approach the end of October and UNX’s date with NCAA destiny, I wanted to do a little research on actual documented NCAA penalties to see if I could properly set my expectations. Â There’s a lot of misinformation out there, things like “UNX had 9 major violations in the NOA – that’s the most […]
‘Acts that are likely to demonstrate a lack of institutional control’ [Updated 2pm]
There is just so much stupidity out there — in some pockets of the population — and so much misinformation….and so much biased personal opinion being shared as something close to fact and reality… …that we thought we would do some folks the service of attempting to limit their embarrassment and ignorance by sharing a […]
UNC Scandal: Context and Perspective
I saw an interesting proposal on PP last week (rswilli?) for a survey predicting the final outcome of the investigations currently underway at UNC. The choices were: – Slap on the wrist – Brick to the head – Hammer of Thor – Wrath of God Before you make a selection, maybe a little rational discussion […]
N&O: NCAA’s Wilson should not be involved in UNC probe
It appears the local media has taken off the gloves…finally. From Luke Decock of the N&O: No matter whether the NCAA eventually uncovers wrongdoing within the North Carolina football program – agent-related, academic or otherwise – there’s one conclusion that can be drawn right now about the investigation of the North Carolina football program. The […]
Message Board Reactions on the UNC/NCAA investigation
I have followed message boards of different college programs around the country for almost 15 years(mainly NC State, UNC and Wake Forest). Message boards are often ridiculed by the print/television/radio media, coaches, athletic directors, and even message board posters themselves. While sometimes these forums are criticized for good reasons, in regards to major news stories […]
BREAKING NEWS: NCAA INVESTIGATING UNC FOOTBALL
Obviously, much much more to come on this breaking story: UNC is under NCAA investigation for its football program. While not much regarding the substance of this investigation has yet come to light, for some time, murmurs have surrounded the Carolina football program and the practices of some of its coaches. Apparently, these are not […]
Crime Pays Best in College Athletics
The NCAA cites USC for a loss of institutional control, and once again you’re reminded that there’s no segment of American life in which crime pays quite as well as big-time amateur athletics. Video: Dee discusses USC violations No incentive not to cheat in college athletics Everything below this line is quoted from the previously […]
And you thought a 96-team NCAA Tournament field was dumb
Just when you thought the NCAA couldn’t go more crazy, it did. Thursday afternoon the NCAA Rules Oversight Panel approved three rule changes — two for 2010 and one for 2011 — that in some cases could potentially change the outcome of games based on a completely subjective decision by a referee. Beginning in 2010, […]
Recruiting practices take spotlight
Just last week SFN highlighted the difference between local recruiting budgets in this well-received entry. Almost simultaneously, the University of Tennessee’s football program came under scrutiny for the use of its Hostess Program to ‘lure’ recruits to the University. We started talking about the news in real time in this thread on our message boards. […]
