Re: U of I Recruiting Violations

That was fast... What's gotten into the NCAA, they usually drag this stuff out for years?

good question. i wonder if it they want to get it out of the media so questions about other schools dont start popping up. as lame as it is, this story was all over non-sports outlets due to the "celebrity" factor.

i dont understand how ohio state boosters can give Troy Smith CASH and he goes on to win the heisman and play for a national title, yet other schools get dinged for something this minor.

Agreed. The entertaining part... the story was on the radio here in Columbus and generated some laughs. They couldn't believe that the NCAA would care.

That seems a bit conspiratorial. I think the more-logical answer is that it was such a minor violation that they decided not to pursue any investigation/penalty.

What about the movie with Jon Cusack and Bobcat Goldtwait (sp)? What was that...something like One Crazy Summer? Pretty stupid, but kind of funny when I was a youngster.
