Books for sale - NCAA Investigation of Alabama

Did I misread something? Are they now saying the NCAA is claiming "lack of institutional control"? Everything I've heard said they werent being accused of that.

 

Mal Moore will not be the AD at Alabama much longer.

 

He is barely the AD anyways. Dave Hart is already in charge of the daily operations.

 

Not a Bama fan at all but this sucks they self reported and co-operated yet at USUCK they just act dumb and say " we didn't know Reggie was living in a huge condo and driving a brand new Navigator" and we are not on control of agents and private individuals who have no relationship with the university. Seems it is better to claim ignorance than to self report and tell the truth.

 

This came out about the same time as Bama self reported. Ball State was not under repeat offender status at the time and their sanction was greater than suspending a few players. That is where I am confused about the claim that the NCAA accepted Bama's self imposed penalties. I don't know how many players or sports were involved at Bama, that was redacted from the documents that I can see.

INDIANAPOLIS -- The NCAA put Ball State on probation for two years and cut three football scholarships because of misuse by athletes of a textbook loan program.
The penalties announced Tuesday by the Division I Committee on Infractions also included a reduction of money available for men's tennis scholarships and a restriction on the number of hours per week allowed for softball practice.
The infractions involved 89 athletes in 10 sports from the spring semester of 2003 to the end of the 2004-05 school year. A separate investigation is ongoing involving former men's basketball coach Ronny Thompson, who resigned in July amid accusations that he and his assistants broke NCAA rules by attending voluntary offseason workouts in 2006 and 2007 and lying about their involvement.
The unidentified athletes in the textbook investigation obtained $26,944 in books for classes in which they weren't enrolled. In some cases, they obtained more than one copy of a book, which they gave to others.
The university, which began its own investigation more than two years ago, accepted the NCAA findings without a formal hearing before the infractions committee. The probation will run through Oct. 15, 2009.

 

The same Dave Hart who oversaw this?

The Florida State football team faces forfeiture of wins, four years of probation, scholarship reductions and other penalties due to former staff members' involvement in what the NCAA described Friday as "major violations" stemming from academic fraud.
Nine other programs were also penalized -- baseball, men's track and field, women's track and field, men's swimming, women's swimming, men's basketball, women's basketball, softball and men's golf -- and face the same sanctions. Overall, the case involved 61 athletes.
Football coach Bobby Bowden was ready to enter spring football practices with 382 career victories, trailing Penn State coach Joe Paterno by one win on the all-time list. The sanctions will force him to forfeit all wins during which ineligible students competed in 2006 and 2007. It is not immediately clear how many games will have to be forfeited.
The football team will be limited to 83 total scholarships in 2008-09; 82 in 2009-10; and 84 in 2010-11; the maximum usually allowed by the NCAA is 85. Florida State self-imposed the loss of the two scholarships for 2008-09, and will self-impose the loss of three scholarships for 2009-10. The NCAA added an additional loss of scholarship from the maximum in 2010-11.
The NCAA determined that a former learning specialist, academic advisor and tutor gave "improper assistance" to Florida State athletes who were taking online courses. According to the NCAA, the former learning specialist typed portions of papers for at least three athletes and also provided answers to an online psychology course quiz by instructing another athlete to complete the quiz on behalf of the athlete enrolled in the course.
The committee stated this case was "extremely serious" because of the large number of student-athletes involved and the fact that academic fraud is considered by the committee to be among the most egregious of NCAA rules violations.
Florida State's probation extends through March 5, 2013.

 

No a different one. You will read about him in the March edition of Operation Red Dog Monthly.

 

They have textbooks at Alabama?
