Today the NCAA is handing down the sanctions for the Oklahoma football program, right now rumors are a 2 year bowl ban and a loss of scholarships. I'll post the actual sanctions when the NCAA releases their decision.

 
A 2-year bowl ban? That sounds insanely harsh. For what?

Whenever I hear about NCAA sanctions, I feel the need to go *cough* USC *cough*

Alabama had a similar penalty for similar infractions 5-6 years ago. Crippled their program and made it impossible to win right away like they wanted. Shula was put in a no-win situation.

 
Gosh...ouch.

In determining the penalties, the Committee on Infractions considered the university's self-imposed penalties and corrective actions. The penalties, some of which were self-imposed by the institution and adopted by the committee, are as follows:

* Public reprimand and censure.

* Two additional years of probation to be added to the conclusion of the institution's current probationary period. As a result, the institution's extended probationary period will expire on May 23, 2010.

* The institution permanently dismissed two student-athletes from the football team at the point when it determined they had knowingly and willfully been involved in receiving payment for work not performed. The third student-athlete had been previously dismissed for violations of team rules (self-imposed by the university).

* During the 2006-07 academic year, the university did not re-award or reallocate the financial aid awarded to the two dismissed student-athletes, resulting in a reduction of two scholarships in football (self-imposed by the university). The university shall further reduce football scholarships by two for each of the 2008-09 and 2009-10 academic years. This limits the university to a total of 83 football scholarships for those two years.

* Vacation of all wins in which the two ineligible student-athletes competed during the 2005 football season. The individual records of these student-athletes shall be vacated as well. Further, the university's records regarding football as well as the record of the head coach will be reconfigured to reflect the vacated wins and so recorded in all publications in which football records for the 2005 season are reported, including, but not limited to, university media guides, recruiting material, and university and NCAA archives. Finally, any public reference to these vacated contests, including the bowl game, won during this time shall be removed from athletics department stationary, banners displayed in public areas and any other forum in which they may appear.

* The institution disassociated the dealership's manager who supervised the student-athletes at the center of this case. This period of disassociation will be for at least five years (until Aug. 21, 2011) (self-imposed by the university).

* The committee further requires that the dealership manager be restricted from supervising or otherwise overseeing, in an employment capacity, any of the university's student-athletes during the five-year period.

* The university will reduce the number of football coaches who can recruit off campus by one during the fall 2007 evaluation period (self-imposed by the university).
If OU does loose 2 years without a bowl what would happen if they won the big 12? Would the north winner go to a BCS bowl?
They probably would be denied the conference championship game and the south #2 would go in their stead.

What does their probation period entail? It didn't mention a bowl ban there, unless that's what a probation period is. In any case, it's until 2010. :o

1. Forfeit all wins in 2005 (8) meaning they were 0-12 in '05

2. 2 Less Scholies for 08--09 and 09-10 ( 4 total)

[meaning a total of 83 scholies instead of 85]

3. 1 Less Coach can recruit thru 2010

4. Public censure

5. Disassociation with Big Red Imports for 5 years

6. Probation thru 2010

"failure to monitor" rather than "lack of instituitional control"

this is it.

 
It doesn't appear they are going to ban them from bowl games, just forced to forfeit every game from 2005 and lose of schlorships...

So our are 2005 Huskers now 9-3? chuckleshuffle

Doesn't it just mean they were 0-0? I thought they "cleared" the 05 records, rather than forfeit each game. That would be overkill.
