Is Ole Miss salary cap above or below Bamas
- Thread starter RUfanSinceAnderson
- Start date
Bama doesn't need to pay for players anymore since all the top guys want to go there. Ole Miss however were doormat until they started cheating by paying for commits and paying more for those players not to transfer. They are currently under investigation.
Prairie View better worry about sanctions
I hate FSU but watching Ole Miss makes me sick. They are filthy but thats par for the course in the SEC
I believe Bama does give them money/perks just like I believe Duke and other blue bloods do it in hoops. If this wasn't true I'm not sure how many kids would choose Bama and get nothing when they could pick Ole Miss and get money, an apartment and a car.
What ever happened to the "death penalty" days of the NCAA? Remember what they did to SMU? Great 30 for 30 on that on ESPN a few years back.
My understanding is that the NCAA is loathe to use the death penalty, given what happened to SMU's program, which collapsed and has never risen again. That is one reason why I doubt that the B12 is seriously considering them for expansion, though their name still appears on the list of candidates remaining in the hunt. I believe that is more of a courtesy to a fellow Texas institution.
There was a lot of discussion about applying the death penalty for Penn State, given that their problems had carried on for more than a decade (now we know it's more like 4 decades) without being addressed, which would normally qualify as repeated infractions. But the NCAA chose to deal with them as just one infraction, which saved the school from death penalty consideration. This may have been a case of "too big to fail" since shutting down such a large program would have repercussions beyond the campus, and would have affected the entire B1G as well in terms of TV contracts, if nothing else.
Maybe that's part of it, but my cynical take is that scheduling would be more of a reason to avoid it. For example, what if UNC got the death penalty? Looking at their schedule, what happens to the ACC season, how do Georgia, Illinois, James Madison and The Citadel fill their schedule, and what happens to that Chik-Fil-A Kickoff Game? Too much money at stake.
It was kind of ironic that ESPN was running the SMU 30 for 30 opposite of the Ole Miss vs. FSU game.
