Alabama finally receives its 24-hour notice from the NCAA on textbooks – The Rap Sheet – al.com
BamaOnLine.com – UA to forfeit games in textbook case
Wow, Bama gets away with murder. Simply amazing. Lack of institutional control. Lets Play Word Association
NCAA? United Nations/ a Paper Tiger / League of Nations/ Obama and North Korea
Bama? Football’s version of Nazi Germany invading the Netherlands
Newest “sanctions”? Appeasement. Peace in our time-Neville Chamberlain
Mal Moore? Aw shucks, we got caught again (wink, wink)
Red Elephant Club? Nazi Party
Regardless. This is a shot across the Cheaters Bow. It is in the Bammeroid DNA to lie, steal and cheat. This lack of action will only embolden them to do what they do best and that is to buy human beings. Frankly, they just ain’t that smart.
Alabama actually got a Preliminary Letter of Inquiry from the NCAA regarding investigation into textbook scandal back 10 months ago (i.e. students from football and possibly other sports given textbooks to sell to other students and make money. Bama covered it up, despite FOIA requests
from newspapers). The PLOI falls in the 5 year window of the Unversity’s last run in with the NCAA.
There are now indications of a second investigation, covering numerous other violations of NCAA rules, 22 students. There will be a second PLOI sent to Alabama from the NCAA, or the NCAA will add it as an appendix to the first letter. Because Alabama’s violations occured while still under sanctions after last investigation, Alabama is looking at big time NCAA sanctions, although people in the know say they would not likely get the death penalty. The word is the possibility of no home games for at least one year, multiple years of probation, and significant scholarship cuts for football as well as a complete one year shutdown of one women’s program.
This will be bigger than the Albert Means deal. Seven SEC schools and 2 ACC schools have turned Bama in for numerous recruiting violations which seem to revolve around the greeting policy of “bumping into recruits”.
Apparently Saban has made a habit of the incidental bumps turning into all out recruiting during dead periods and non-contact time frames.
Throw in a leer jet ride from Florida for a recruit during an unofficial visit and the NCAA is not happy. They have been seething since Alabama took their bowl ban from a few years back and turned it into a field trip to Hawaii.
The PLOI #2 will contain a couple of dozen Major violations….note that textbookgate is only ONE major violation. The NCAA has twenty three investigators……four are assigned to Alabama at this very moment. Not good.
