Recall that when Will Franklin and Patrick O'Bryant were found to have inadvertantly received "extra benefits" by the NCAA, they were suspended for multiple games. Recall that the NCAA said there was no room for negotiating or appeal. The "extra benefit" rule is a hard and fast rule, the NCAA said. POB's penalty was 8 games (30% of the team's schedule) for extra benefits exceeding $1000, and Will's was 6 games (20% of the team's schedule) for extra benefits less than $1000. And recall that exhibition games did not count. The penalties were assessed against games on the regular season schedule.
Well, here is yet another example of the hypocrisy of the NCAA, and an example of how their darling, money-making D1 schools, and their stars are treated differently.
The NCAA just ruled that Kentucky freshman, and preseason SEC Player of the Year, John Wall would be eligible this season, if he paid back nearly $800 in expenses he illegally received on recruiting trips. He has agreed to pay the money to a charity. And he was suspended for just 2 games, one of them an exhibition game against Campbellsville, and the other game against Morehead State. So he will miss only 1 meaningless early season game!
