It's beyond ridiculous. This is non-scholarship football. Make them play on the road for two playoff games that they would otherwise be hosting. Seed them 9th instead of 1st. Let their first four opponents pick one player from the team to be suspended for that game. Suspend the head coach for a few games. Give them a reasonable punishment.PartyBear said:
It is ridiculous but it is also pretty dumb for Fredenberg to have done.
UMHB's downfall was that they didn't claim that any student on campus could have borrowed a car if they had just asked to do so, and therefore wasn't a special benefit for athletes.Yogi said:

Haller gave Wheeler $172 in meal money, ostensibly to be used for Wheeler's car payment. Wheeler had actually quit the team in early December, so he was not entitled to the meal money, which was for players to cover the Christmas holiday, during which time the dorms and cafeterias were closed. He shouldn't have done it, but Wheeler was only technically a player because the term hadn't ended and he was not officially withdrawn from school. He was really an ex-player who was never going to practice or play again.Stefano DiMera said:
That was the exact violation in our first basketball scandal. Jim Haller paid for John Wheeler to go back home for a funeral.

I thought it was Darryl Middleton who lost his mom, and somebody (C. Pack?) bought him a plane ticket home to NYC to the funeral.Stefano DiMera said:

He did. Ultimately killed him. https://books.google.com/books?id=vrkDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA48&lpg=PA48&dq=john+wheeler+baylor&source=bl&ots=bcLsb6Pjng&sig=ACfU3U31jbVUAB4tXQuSHvHBW8HP_XXt2g&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwixhtmcrpLlAhV_HTQIHXLiALcQ6AEwBnoECAkQAQ#v=onepage&q=john%20wheeler%20baylor&f=falseRD2WINAGNBEAR86 said:Stefano DiMera said:

I remember Big Bird! The dude was 7' and something like 150 lbs.
Looking back, I would bet Wheeler had Marfan's Syndrome, the same disease Isaiah Austin was diagnosed with.
NCAA does not care one bit for Rhule, and won't be asking him what he thinks of their proposed sanctions, before they make them official.Timbear said:
If anyone can stave off NCAA penalties, it's Rhule. He has done a truly masterful job in repairing Baylor's reputation.
Exactly, which is what terrifies me about what they still might do to Baylor.Yogi said:
What it comes down to is this:
UMHB's football program does not bring in enough money to the NCAA for the NCAA to care...
Any information on when "once" will be?Yogi said:
You know what this means, though?
If the NCAA did THAT to Baby Baylor, we are absolutely ****ed!!!!
My guess is that TCU will be the "one true champion" of the 2014 football season once The Association gets done with us!

What NCAA rules did Baylor break?Jorkel said:
Should have followed the NCAA rules and this would not have happened and if you don't like it you do not have to be a part of the association....
Jorkel, the suit would not be about whether the rules were broken or not (unless that is contested in some way). The suit would be about the level of punishment dished out to a small faith based institution for a very minor offense v. what the big state schools get away with having done much worse.Jorkel said:

I hate the NCAA for a lot of reasons and petty stuff like this is one of the reasons.
Yeah, If they had only played an ineligible player like KU did with Darrell Arthur they would get to keep the title.gold rewards said:Jorkel, the suit would not be about whether the rules were broken or not (unless that is contested in some way).
