Thanks again, Felton J.

The NCAA has put Oklahoma on three years of probation and issued a $15,000 fine for major violations in its men's basketball program.


The Division I infractions committee also vacated all 13 wins from Oklahoma's 2009-10 season, took away a scholarship and limited recruiting efforts.

Most of the penalties had been proposed by the school, which said former assistant Oronde Taliaferro broke NCAA rules by failing to report that a player had received an impermissible extra benefit and by lying to investigators.

I cannot forget those last two years of Felton J. fast enough. Did I mention there's a new season starting tonight at 7 p.m. televised in OKC/Tulsa in on Cox channel 3/703? GO LON!

Wow! Jeff In-CAPEL-ble sucked worse than we thought. He didn't win a single game in 2009/10. He sucks worse than John Blake.

Basically, no penalty. Good deal. The monkey is off Kruger's back.

About the three years probation - what does that mean exactly? Are there any post-season penalties - or - do we just need to be clean for the next three years?

The only postseason penalty we got out of this ordeal was not being good enough to make the postseason :(

We basically need to keep our nose clean for three years... and as simple as it may sound... we aren't very good at it :(

The loss of the scholarship and "limited" recruiting efforts are essentially the same as a post season ban. If Lon can get us through the next three years with some dignity (and I think he will), then we didn't get it too bad considering the violations.

We got off light again. NCAA always takes it easy on OU. :D

Much worse. If they had labeled us a repeat offender, which we were, we would have faced much stronger penalties.
