    May be salt of the earth. But he rode Magloire to a job, which implicates Magloire. And is more than a bit scummy.

    Sorry, Elliotte. But no other way THAT guy gets THAT job at Kentucky...and conveniently leaves when Jamaal did.

    If that hotel was Sam's playpen, then it's a miracle he didn't start breaking his legs at an earlier age.

    It wasn't called the death penalty then, but it was effectively what caused UK's 52-53 season to disappear.

    UNLV talking about improper recruiting, Wow, that's awesome. We were the same school that had J.R. Rider, who spelled his own name wrong on a test.

    Does anyone think that any major program will ever get the death penalty again?

    No. I really believe that, at the time, the folks at the NCAA had no idea SMU's football program would be so completely destroyed by shutting them down for a year. And after seeing what the shutdown did I don't think they have the stomach to do it again.

    People forget that the SMU ban was only for one season - 1987. SMU voluntarily shut down for 1988 because it needed an extra year to get the program up and running again.

    The NCAA could very easily have shut Baylor basketball down for what happened there but they gave them half a death penalty instead - One season of no non-conference games.

    SMU would have been required to forego all home games in '88 - that's why they took a pass that season.

    A basketball program can recover from being shut down (Baylor and Tulane being the most recent examples) because the squad sizes are so small. Once you nuke a football program, it stays radioactive forever.

    People forget what a dominant program SMU was in the early 1980s. They've never recovered and never will.
