This is what I think of the NCAA

Let me get this straight...
Tech was uncooperative in part because we failed to voluntarily sit a star player out of the championship game over a possible $312 violation? The NCAA doesn’t deserve that kind of cooperation. They say it’s not the crime but the coverup, but when the stakes of such a negligible “crime” are so steep, a “coverup” is inevitable. Tech is in trouble for failing to respect an institution that doesn’t deserve respect.

It makes me weary to think...
I am going to waste my time deciding the finer points of who knew what when. Perhaps I am wrong but I find it hard to believe anyone in authority at Tech would deliberately cover up a violation. I suspect they either thought their players were innocent or that the fine points of an NCAA rule were being applied before all of the facts were in.

Wow..
If punishments are proportional, then Ohio State needs to bend over and get ready for the 100 Million $ reaming. $312? Seriously?
Either that
or the NCAA has to openly admit that the reasoning for these insane penalties is their ego getting butthurt for not getting 100% cooperation from a university that doesn’t consider $300 gifts from boosters a crime worthy of forfeiting a conference title.
THWG!
Correction
Potential gift from a booster. It could have been from the cousin…or the cousin’s roommate. The NCAA has chosen not to believe the cousin story because they think Tech told him to say that.
If this had happened five years ago...
you would have lost a scholarship and been put on double secret probation.
Welcome to the new era of disproportional and seemingly arbitrary punishment.
Death
It feels like we just got prison-shower-shanked by the NCAA. They were all suspicious and crazy-eyed like, “Yo, homes. There somethin’ you not tellin’ me?” And we were all “What? Me?! Um…I mean…lemme find out…?” And they were all “Times up, sucka! shankity shank shank gurgle splatter shanky shanks”
And here we lie….
Or maybe it’s not that bad.

?????????
Am I the only one noticing the rather large amount of UGA fans coming out and supporting our disdain for today’s NCAA retardation?
You aren't
There are several of the rational ones on many boards I frequent basically saying ‘wtf?’ and holy crap if the NCAA applies punishment proportionally, OSU, UNC, and Auburn are going to get murdered.

If the fines are kept proportional
And, assuming that Cam didn’t go to Mississippi State because Auburn paid AT LEAST $180001…
Auburn will pay nearly $5.8E7 in fines.
Also gonna add...
…that our players had better come out ready to stomp a mudhole in everyone this year. I see this as an opportunity for all the guys to adopt the Julian Burnett “I am a tinier man than you therefore you deserve to be left boneshattered and bloodied for even thinking about touching my football” mentality on the field of play this season. I say we upset someone…or everyone. Let’s win the ACC and then the B1G and the SEC just for good measure. And then burn down all the stadia we play in that isn’t ours. And then steal everyone’s left shoe.

I'm already wondering how soon it'll be till DRad files the appeal.
Because there’s no way you don’t in a case like this. I’m kind of hoping it’s simply this: [picture redacted] with the caption “suck on deez nuts,” but DRad will probably be more thorough in eviscerating the NCAA’s fairly weak case.

Can you believe...
…Mark Bradley of the AJC is trying to get GT fans to question Radakovich’s leadership like we’re gonna call for his head over this?!
How many "F*&K the NCAA" banners will we see at games this year?
I wish they had a mascot we could drag behind the Wreck.

Oh yeah......

Can we expect to see
a new NCAA by-law that prohibits speaking, displaying signs, wearing apparel, or making written statements in an on-line medium that would tarnish the reputation of the glorious NCAA in the coming years?
THWG!
OH, and F*&K Clemson and their 2009 ACC Championship!
Monopoly + Monopsony = A real screw-up.

Wait, can we pre-Vacate BeBe's dropped pass against u(sic)GA??
by DressHerInWhiteAndGold on Jul 14, 2011 8:09 PM EDT reply actions
Already done.
That game was vacated as well. So the books will show that we’re still .500 against them under CPJ. Silver lining?
Pretty sure only wins get vacated.

Funny how that works.
You have to vacate all wins in this time period. Just so happens your only win was the conference championship.
We at the NCAA are thoroughly grateful that you also believe in coincidence.
THWG!
Essentially, the NCAA are trying to be the bigger dicks here.
Clearly they have no idea who the hell they’re dealing with.

I mean...
…they said games post November 24th. The journalists said that included GA, ACCCG, and the Orange Bowl. Are the journalists giving me MORE false hopes?! They’ve done enough today…..
drinking and angry!

....and your whisky isn't clear...
…it is bitter; filled with bile, mud and blood. Recriminations abound, 3,000 lbs. of sugar won’t make this medicine go down.
A spiteful, hate filled weekend is on tap; BREAK OUT THE KRACKEN and JAGERBOMB cocktail, set it afire, drink it through a straw made of a hollowed out thigh bone.

I was out sailing yesterday and missed the report until this morning.
I am shocked and sitting in a state of disbelief. Surely we did not do these things. Tell me this is not true.
Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going?
Yeah, I'd break out the boat today,
but I’d probably hoist the Jolly Rodger and go on a piratical binge whilst listening to Midnight Oil and Metallica.

Generating list of songs dedicated to the crap sticks at the NCAA for Friday's play list.
I’m listening to the voices in my head, and they are PISSED.

Hello, we are from the NCAA, and don't get "combative" with us, or I'll pull out my wand...
See, I’ve got it right here in my jock strap.

Pretty sure...
…I saw like nine of those guys in a starbucks last night. Why was I in a starbucks last night? I avoid alcohol when I’m mad. And mad I still definitely am. But yeah….the tweenyboppers were all dressed like british school children and this guy.
you sir, are a disciplined individual

As an Alabama fan I commiserate with you guys.
You got unfairly shafted. And over a piddling amount.
It basically is the NCAA venting on you guys for the stonewalling of others.’
Or as the OP said, “You failed to respect an entity that deserves none”.
I’m especially sorry for your 2009 ACC championship. The NCAA had better make OSU toss their salad. That’s all I’m sayin.
