UL Recruit Gets $2100 in extra benefits but only 3 game susp

[BTID]

Like former besieged coach Jerry Tarkanian once said, "The NCAA is so upset about the recruiting violations at Kentucky that they decided to give Cleveland State the death penalty!"

Good one BTID!

That is the truth!

How much did BU via Star pay their guys?

[tornado]

The NCAA ruled that the overpayments from Star to the players were not known to the BU people, and that they were done inadvertently.

This differs tremendously from the intentional payments, free cars, unrepayable loans, free housing, and even female companionship given to recruits and rostered athletes that has been proven in various other extra benefit cases to have come directly from someone within or with strong ties to the programs.

I am curious what any of this matters. Can anything good come of it for BU fans?

It's a message board, McBeam, you've been here before.
you know that if it interests anyone who wants to post and discuss then it does matter.

I issued a challenge, and generally I even give away a prize, and would be willing here, too!

Find one example of the NCAA going after a BCS school the way they have after the littler schools. Just one, and it has to be a minimal extra benefits violation that incurred the MAXIMUM stated penalties within the rules.

I have given numerous cases where they have softened the penalties and given less, but none that nail the numerous extra benefits violators who are BCS guys the way they went furiously after BU.

Come on....just one example....I am waiting.

and I am waiting for you to answer what good can come out of this. I do not disagree with the premise that BU was treated more harshly......I am simply asking what it matters now.

I realize its a message board, but it seems that certain discussions just get trumped on and beaten into the ground just for post count purposes or something.....
