College Football V: Bowls Are Done; Carry On My Wayward Sons

With no "lack of institutional control" penalty being alleged, it basically sounds like the NCAA is telling Tressel to fall on his sword.

Edit: LOL. The other article in the Columbus dispatch today has Tressel contacting an FBI agent about the emails...but not his own compliance office.

a while back, Mike and Mike had an ex-coach (Davie?) on who said the first thing you do in that situation is walk down the hall to the compliance office wothout even thinking, even if it is just cya. With all the reasons a college coach could lose his job, why would he risk losing it for something so stupid? This isn't a guy trying to get to the top and it isn't like OSU would stink without a few players...sure they would be better with them on the field but to risk your whole career in that circumstance is just mind boggling...you'd think the coach would protect the program and their multi-million dollar salary at the expense of some players who broke rules on their own...an upfront admission and some work by the school and they might have lost a few players for the games prior to the Big Eleventy conference games. Now the players will be in the NFL eventually and Tressel and Mike Haywood can join Leach's staff at a junior college in Kansas.
 
Yeah, that is a good point there about the attendence for UMASS. Even if they get only 30,000 at their Gillette game, they would only need to get about 11,000 for their true home games to hit the 15,000 average attendance mark.

Not that it matters much as long as you have one big booster who's willing to buy blocks of the cheap seats up so that you can average 15,000 tickets sold for the games.
That's how schools like eastern Michigan does it.

"After meeting with Janoris Jenkins today, we both felt it was in his best interest to move ahead to the next stage of his career," Muschamp said.

Heh. Too bad there won't be an NFL to play in this fall. Smooth move, Jenkins...

Nebraska is lucky that the Big Ten expanded last year and not this year, since they just got booted out of the AAU.

Seems kinda silly to me that they're not going to count campuses within the same metro area as one campus. I mean yeah, I can see em not counting Nebraska-Omaha as they're kind of a seperate school from Lincoln, but yeah, a medical campus within Lincoln, yeah, that should be able to be counted.
 
Re: College Football V: Bowls Are Done; Carry On My Wayward Sons

Interesting... Cornell is also a land-grant school that does tons of USDA research and has a separate medical campus (4 hours away in NYC) - I wonder if they are scored the same way as Nebraska was, or if Nebraska was singled out for some reason. I'm guessing Cornell's main campus could still qualify on its own, though, so hard to say.

The Med Center's in Omaha, not Lincoln. And the regents themselves treat the UNMC as a separate entity from the other 3 campuses.

So Pete Carroll drafts Richard Sherman. If you can't beat 'em, draft 'em!

Boise State's under investigation by the NCAA. A horde of minor violations, adding up to about $4,900 in football over 5 years (not offering gas money and recruits crashing in player's rooms and other stupidity.)

However, the women's tennis team was playing people who weren't even *enrolled* at BSU, so the NCAA has whipped out the "Lack of Institutional Control" on them.

Pac 12 gets a TV deal.

$2.7 billion over 12 years from ESPN and Fox. Fox and FX are now going to start showing college football on Saturdays apparently.

So Fox and ABC/ESPN (with the occasional CBS game) will be competing head to head in primetime on Saturdays. Sounds like an epic win for the viewer as both networks will want to fill their slots with marquee matchups.

Edit: According to Darren Rovell, that's $18.75M/school/year if they split it equally. Nice payday.

Do you have a link to that? I'm quite certain that there are a number of Vandals that would like to know about it. Well- they probably do....
 
Re: College Football V: Bowls Are Done; Carry On My Wayward Sons

From Darren Rovell: Total impermissible benefits from Boise State are $4,934, which to ex-Fiesta Bowl CEO John Junker is coffee money.
 
Re: College Football V: Bowls Are Done; Carry On My Wayward Sons

Boise State is just small enough to get the Death Penalty...gotta show everyone who is boss!

Hell, Ohio State guys probaly made more than that just with a few signings and a quick sell of their golden pants.
 
Re: College Football V: Bowls Are Done; Carry On My Wayward Sons

Here's the BSU report- the vandals had a link to the original USA today story- http://i.usatoday.net/sports/college/football/2011-05-02-boise-state-ncaa-letter.pdf

http://content.usatoday.com/communi...011/05/boise-state-football-ncaa-violations/1

Minor value, without a doubt.

But I gotta ask one thing- what kind of housing are you getting where you only have to pay only $93 for just under two weeks of housing? Especially if you get transportation thrown in??? Either the market was really depressed in Boise in 2005, it's really cheap dorms, or they are dumps. Excluding the transportation, that's less than $8/day for housing. I know my single room in the middle of nowhere was $300/mo 20 years before this happened.... This comes out to less than $250/mo, and it's only part of a month.... It's as if Hotel 8 was living up to their billing in Boise during the summer of 2005.
