That's a bit drastic...

It's basically where the NCAA will ban the school from competing in football for at least 1 year. It would be a devastating blow money wise and they will have a hard time coming back from it.

All of the big programs do this. People need to get their head out of the sand and realize crap like this has been going on for decades.
GO BUCKS!

all the programs are guilty its just a matter of who gets caught
but they all are guilty
the only way to beat it is to legalize it. it's like prohibition. if you can't enforce the law and people are just going to do it anyway you may as well legalize it.

That's it? If it's one year, that doesn't as deadly as the phrase indicates. Maybe I'm just not seeing the big picture with the long term effects.

SMU got a one year ban. All the coaches were fired (or left), all the players left, all the support people left because the school isn't going to pay them to sit around and do nothing.
By the time they were eligible to even play, they had no players and missed the entire next season just trying to put together a staff and team.
Nobody wants to go to a team that can't compete for a Bowl Game let alone a Conference Championship, or play on tv. So when SMU finally did play their first game they basically fielded a Junior College squad and got destroyed in the SWC.
It spiraled from there.

This will never happen to the U because there's too much money to be lost by all involved parties (ACC, NCAA, TV, Miami, etc)
