Baylor gets WHACKED by the NCAA......

Look, in response to Badger...

What you said is true, and we knew that the NCAA was going to impose some sort of offical sanction on us. We were prepared for that. What we weren't prepared for was this degree of punishment which, all things considered, just isn't fair or reasonable.

The players that Drew has recurited knew that NCAA sanctions were coming, but I don't think anyone was really prepared for this kind of punishment.

If someone thinks I'm looking at this situation through green and gold colored glasses then please by all means correct me. I haven't heard a good (i.e. non-aggie) argument that these NCAA sanctions are correct and justified.

 

its those green and gold colored glasses, after your rogue tennis program which I might add destroyed all of the NCAA's faith in humanity was given a free pass, they couldn't let you guys get off with two slaps on the wrist

 

A player was killed.

The Baylor University administration had it happen on their watch.

Sounds pretty reasonable to me to not be able to play non-conference games for one year.

 

That is like the Olympics blaming Israel for getting their athletes killed at the Olympics since after all it did happen during Israel's watch.

 

A person was murderered in the state of Oklahoma last year

The State had it happen on their watch

Sounds pretty reasonable that I shouldn't have to pay state taxes next year.

 

okay, how bout this for a good argument...

The punishment was Baylor's idea, the ncaa just accepted it. So you COULD say that Baylor SHOULD have told the ncaa "no broccoli for a year" instead of "no non-conference games for a year." Considering how tough Baylor has had it, the ncaa might have been generous

On the other hand, da Bears could have also received the death penalty, and dang it, that would have been two less wins for the Sooners this year! (three if we meet at the Big 12 tourney!)

 

Er, not really. Because I missed the part where the terrorists were part of the Israeli national team.

I'd say nice try, but it wasn't.

 

How about this one? They were both members of the state, shouldn't the state be punished?
