The NCAA slapped Georgia Tech's wrist after their investigation revealed multiple violations in football and basketball-
On the surface, it appears they hit Georgia Tech hard, but there are no losses of scholarships, and no ban on postseason play, so the penalties are relatively minor compared to some of the recent penalties on smaller schools for more isolated violations.
One more interesting piece of news-
Iowa State reinstated center Jordan Railey to the basketball team after his arrest for disorderly conduct in April.
He was suspended for Iowa State first 3 games. It will be interesting to see if that includes exhibition games.
Railey had already served a 2 game suspension last January when he was charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated at 2:50 a.m. Jan. 1, following a rollover, single-car accident that occurred when the 18 year old player fell asleep behind the wheel.
Wow, 2 alcohol related incidents within a few months of each other, one while he was just 18 years old, and the second just days after he turned 19, and no mention in any of these articles about the underage drinking problem. And all he will miss is 3 meaningless early season games. He still gets to travel with the team on their trip to Italy in August and play. It really sounds like the law and the team are going easy on this kid. If a kid had 2 alcohol related issues under the alcohol policy at some schools, he would be gone.
