What odds would you require?I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

Why, Lou? Why?
NCAA places South Carolina on three years probation
ESPN.com news services
The NCAA placed the University of South Carolina on three years probation for infractions involving the football program.
South Carolina admitted to 10 NCAA violations committed under former football coach Lou Holtz in a report released in July. The NCAA added a penalty against the former senior associate AD, whose activities were central to the case.
Five of the violations were classified as major.
The school proposed two years of probation, a reduction from 56 to 50 paid campus visits for football recruits this year and next; and a loss of two football scholarships for the 2006-07 and 2007-08 academic years. The NCAA accepted the school's self-imposed penalties, but added a year of probation.
The July report was prepared jointly by the NCAA enforcement staff and the university and has been forwarded to the NCAA's Committee on Infractions, which can accept, reject or modify the proposed penalties.
The school found violations occurred when prospective student-athletes were given impermissible tutoring sessions and offseason workouts from 1999-2002.
South Carolina was also found to have a lack of institutional control.
"These are serious violations that are not in keeping with the values of the University of South Carolina and our athletics programs," University President Andrew Sorensen said in July. "They certainly cast our university in a light, which no one in the Carolina family condones."

I'm looking forward to the OSU-Michigan game. Should be a great game.

Why would that surprise you, Dan? Didn't Lou leave Notre Dame under an extra benefits cloud, too?
I hate Iron Bowl week, by the way. Productivity grinds to a halt. The state media and every sidewalk Bama fan in the state throw out more blissfully ignorant opinions than my stomach can handle. By the end of Monday, I'm just ready to play the damn game and get it done with.Solomwi is very wise. - Imran SiddiquiComment

Just looked it up, and the infractions from the 1999 Notre Dame case did indeed "begin" under Lou's watch, in 1994. Of course, that's as far back as the NCAA can go since they hold themselves to a five-year statute of limitations, so there's nothing to suggest it wasn't happening before 1994, as well.Solomwi is very wise. - Imran SiddiquiComment

Not that it really matters nationally, but BYU (Franky
), has been tearing it up for the last few weeks offensively. 3 of their 4 losses have been to Top 25 teams. Notre Dame, TCU, and Boston College.*

Do the sanctions against South Carolina include a ban from postseason play? Because if they do, and Georgia finishes the chokejob this weekend against Kentucky (which I doubt they will, but still...), things are gonna look mighty interesting all of a sudden.CGN | a bunch of incoherent nonsense
