NCAA Sanctions Miami

[Landshark]

A loss of three scholarships per year over the next three years.  No further bowl bans.  A couple thoughts on this:

1.  Miami got off easy because they had already undergone self imposed penalties and sat out of bowl games the past two seasons.  Consider that "credit for time served"

2.  The NCAA did this to save face because of the time and money put into an investigation where they broke their own rules.  They had to go easy but had to do something.

Don't forget. They also sat out of the ACC title game. I was hoping for no additional penalties. But I can live with the punishment handed down. Go Canes!

I think that the Canes are elated just to have this over with.  I'm not super up to date with the NCAA and sanctions, but can you just punish yourself, in hopes that the higher-ups with be extra lenient later?

You must certainly can.  A lot of times, the NCAA will be more lenient if you work with them and self impose penalties.
