Hmmm, since the APR takes into account graduation rates, I wonder if some of those bigger teams are so low because many of their student athletes get drafted to the NFL and NBA after their junior and freshman years respectively. The big basketball programs are probably especially prone to this, what with the kids only needing one year of college before being eligible.

Well I looked at the 2009-2010 APRs. Most of the football programs under a 930 APR are already on probation or penalized. None of the schools in the SEC, Big 12, or PAC 10 are under 930 for football. Oh wait, except Washington State. That's embarrassing. For basketball, Indiana, Arkansas, LSU, and USC are all under that limit. So yeah, I think basketball is the big offender. |

Utah looks pretty good this year. I expect they'll be in the top third, and could win the Pac10 |

Not so fast. I think FSU would want to jump at the opportunity to remove itself from a dying football conference. The ACC has nothing to offer them and they lose recruits by the barrel-full because Florida plays in the SEC and they don't. |

Listen up, Corso... ( ) FSU won't jump to the SEC quite yet. They'll want to stay in the ACC and remain the big dog for as long as they can, rattling off ACC championships until the ACC becomes even more of a nonfactor than it already is. Then they'll probably go to the Big East in a massive restructure of the superconferences for a 4 team play off. Personally, I think the SEC is not going to allow any teams to join until the very last minute because of pressure from internal schools. Take Texas A&M for example. You can bet that Arkansas was jumping up and down in righteous indignation about the Aggies joining because Petrino can go to Texas and say "Why would you play for A&M? Their TV contract sucks. Ours is awesome. For real.". And the same is going to come from Florida (and Georgia and others) about FSU (or anyone, really). |

ACC is where they play basketball. Not sure why the hell Miami jumped into it though... I like the idea of 4 super conferences with a 4 team playoff. That would be fucking great - but you damn well know Notre Dame would still be the Independent whining about a berth.  SEC, MWC, PAC, NEC. And make it an amateur league and pay the guys. A man can dream... |

While I do have a sense of some school loyalty to the Hurricanes (2002-2006) and having many of those names in the article in the class I taught, Cane football and basketball has been largely irrelevant this decade save 2002. About all this will do is distribute a few recruits to SFU, FSU, and FL with the sanctions and loss of scholarships. It's not like they were going to contend at any time in the near future.
I do feel bad for Golden though... walked into a shit storm he knew little about before taking the job. Ugh.

This could kill Miami altogether. They've never been loved by the establishment and the NCAA is probably looking for a good bug to squash. |

Now that I have completely read through the yahoo! document I shall revise my previous statement. Miami might just be the first div I program to be completely dismantled. I mean holy shit, I breezed through the article and thought it was going to crush them out of a few scholarships and lose bowl eligibility for a few years. The school might just lose whole teams now. They might be able to retain intramural sports at this point. Make sure to get your WHOLE HEAD in front of the shotgun. Fuck me. EXACTLY. "if there is anything worth doing, its worth doing right."  |

Just looking at it on it's face, their coach needs to walk away from his deal with Miami. Do it right now while nobody blames you, and all the kids who signed should get a free pass from the NCAA.

Or wait till the football program gets dissolved and take your contract money and live on South Beach for a few years. oh and this right here is priceless:  Donna Ukelele is not a person I like on any level and knowing her arrogant ass, this pic holding the neon evidence has to sting. She can feign ignorance all she wants, but I am hopeful she goes down in flames. |

Damage control already...of course, this is just Donna trying to keep her job. No idea how she has not been forced to resign yet, but it better be in the mail. Good to see pictures of my former students on the news. Of course it explains a lot of why they were missing class all the time.  The only way I see them not getting the SMU cockpunch is the fact they were not currently under probation. However, in terms of today's heavy handed (and rightly so) rule enforcement, this may end up rewriting some of those penalties. Can't wait for tOSU vs tU game...

I thought "Football is a War" down there in Miami. Maybe Kellen Winslow was just pissy because he wasn't getting benefits.

Yes, but they were under the "repeated violations" double secret probation during that time, which is what you have to have to get the death penalty. |
