NCAA Comes Down Hard on SMU

[friar82]

Now I'm no Larry Brown fan, but I did take note of the fact that the NCAA has come down with a verdict already, on the case of violations at SMU. Brown has only been there since 2012...making for (in my mind) a process that was expedited, when compared with the manner in which the NCAA conducted itself on Syracuse and UNC (which after DECADES of abuse, has yet to get its verdict)

Thinking exactly the same thing '82 - what the heck is going on with the Carolina Blue "investigation"...it has to be one of the most prolonged violations in NCAA history, right?

I'm pretty sure the NCAA sent someone to Dallas as soon as Brown got the job knowing that he was going to mess up. This investigation was probably years in the making. It's funny how they have sanctions imposed and Syracuse gets to choose when they want their penalties to start. 9 schollies is a lot to lose by the way too.
