[QUOTE="FanUND, post: 1188734, member: 583561"] With the exception of the SMU football death penalty years ago, devastating rulings by the NCAA have been extremely rare. How Pete Carroll's USC teams avoided it remains a mystery -- [B]convicted felons[/B]! [B][U]FELONIES!![/U][/B] Pete: [I]"Somebody's gotta defend these guys."[/I] What's missing in the mix regarding Louisville is the conference's response. Why hasn't there been an independent investigation by the ACC? The conference should have taken a stand and immediately barred the Cards' participation in the conf. tourney, which Louisville itself (belatedly) is declining participation in. On the subject of the ACC looking the other way, let's not forget that last year, [I]Sports Illustrated[/I] reported extensively on the joke of academic policies at North Carolina. A travesty on the term "student athlete." Yet there's been NO punishment of the program or Williams by anyone, AT ALL! ACC basketball is rapidly approaching the status of SEC football, as far as severely punishable violations that routinely get swept under the rug. I'm more familiar with the football end of things, but the UNC basketball report was [I][B]exactly what everyone suspected & feared[/B][/I]. Look for example at Oklahoma State football in their conf: another death penalty candidate that continues to fly under the radar. [/QUOTE]
