Dude really said it took Miami 2 years. What???? You're just looking at the raw record. Impact went WELL beyond that...
Ya'll really expected Miami to be on top forever
When Dennis Erickson bounced it was already going towards rebuilding. Should I blame last year performance on the impact of sanctions.
Every dominant team eventually has down years. Miami's down years was expedited by the sanctions, and even then they only had ONE losing season. Yes, I know they were getting spanked by FSU, yes they lost to ECU. However, in 1998 they did manage to pull a huge upset against UCLA.
Did Miami not have NFL talent on those squads? As far as I know, Edgerrin James ran all over UCLA to dash their Fiesta/Title hopes.
It also happened to be a time where FSU was dominant and Miami was at a downturn.
How is it 6 years?
They got slapped after the 1995....
1996 (One season)
1997 (two seasons)
1998 (three seasons)
1999 (four seasons)
2000 National Title
That is some impact right there boy, I tell ya
Plus, many of you are acting as if this isn't going to be appealed. Sanctions are always appealed. The penalties are too harsh considering it only involves 2 players.
Ohio State never returned their title and they played with an "uneligible" Freshman

Not saying it'll happen but if there's any case that can be somewhat overturned it's this one. These sanctions are extremely harsh considering the facts. There is a LOT of dependence on circumstantial evidence. I think it's reasonable to think that the 2 year ban can be reduced down to 1 year.Originally Posted by GUNNA GET IT
have yall heard how impossible an appeal is now since the rules changes?
I hadn't followed too closely. Aside from your view as a U$C fan, how do you know there was no proof of association with the university/anyone within the athletic department and that it is just circumstantial evidence? Obviously you're going to find and attach yourself to the viewpoints that feel this penalty was too harsh and should be overturned but what is the actual basis for it?Originally Posted by after h0urs

Stewart Mandel puts it best:
"You'd be hard-pressed to find precedent for a school hit so hard over activities by parties with no association to the university. It's not unreasonable to think it will find sympathy from the Infractions Appeal Committee, which, in 2003, overturned the second year of Michigan basketball's postseason ban despite four former players taking $616,000 from rogue booster Ed Martin. But such reversals are rare.
If anything, it sure seems the committee is trying to set a new precedent. It's holding USC responsible for the sins of not just Bush and Mayo, Ornstein and Guillory, but all the star athletes and seedy brokers everywhere whose misdeeds go unreported. They spent four years building their case in order to use it as a global deterrent.
...One thing's for certain: After keeping fans waiting in the dark for four years, the NCAA delivered a powerful resolution. But it sure seems the end result was less about the organization punishing USC than it was about flexing its muscle to the rest of the country."

If you have the time, I suggest that you read the 67 page report. In the report there is no proof of association from anyone within the university. The only person that was included was RB coach Todd McNair, and the only thing they got him for was that he knew Bush was getting benefits.
No one else was involved.
Of course, there was involvement when it came to the Basketball team, since Tim Floyd was directly involved with giving OJ Mayo money.
However, in the Reggie Bush portion they only cite circumstantial evidence.
It's not about being a USC fan, it's all in the report that is on ESPN/SI/LA Times/Yahoo Sports front page.

The coaches — along with USC Athletic Director Mike Garrett — appeared at a Northern California Trojans Club function just hours after learning from the NCAA what penalties they'll be dealing with for the next few years.
Garrett wasn't at all contrite.
"As I read the decision by the NCAA," he told the group, "… I read between the lines and there was nothing but a lot of envy. They wish they all were Trojans."
