Was supposed to be a 3-year ban, but when the NCAA realized academic fraud was involved, they reduced it to 2.

It's the new math.

I didn't think the NCAA even knew how to spell "academic fraud".

How does the NCAA play any games - THEY HAVE NO BALLS. What a sad, sad organization.

I just heard a loud giggle coming from Chapel Hill.

Giggle? You'd best get your hearing checked. The sound I heard was ROTFLMFAO. :mad:

Maybe this will take some heat off of Cleveland State.

The NCAA announcement is here (http://www.ncaa.org/about/resources/media-center/news/ole-miss-lacked-institutional-control-football-program), and the Public Infractions Decision is here (http://www.ncaa.org/about/resources/media-center/news/ole-miss-lacked-institutional-control-football-program). In good news for Rick Pitino, the head coach only received a two game suspension:


Head coach restrictions. The head coach was responsible for the violations committed by members of his staff. He failed to monitor certain aspects of the recruiting process as set forth in Violation IV.O, and he did not monitor the actions of boosters supporting his program. Members of his staff engaged in numerous Level I, II and II violations, while football boosters continued a decades-long disdain for NCAA recruiting rules. Therefore, pursuant to Bylaw 19.9.5.5, any member institution hiring the head coach as a head football coach during a one-year period, December 1, 2017, through November 30, 2018, shall suspend the head coach for the first two conference contests of the 2018 football season.

However, the charges against the head coach were “Level I-Mitigated.” Maybe he cooperated. Pitino doesn’t seem to be mitigating anything.

Actually, in late breaking news, the NCAA has decided to impose additional sanctions on UNC--they have assessed a technical foul on Daniel Ewing.

"...decades-long disdain for...rules." Snicker, snicker.
