The 'sips caused it before.

I'd assume Bama is causing it now.

Because we're such a huge threat to their dominance....

In hindsight one of the mistakes made during my years at A&M was the decision by the University to drop the journalism program. If you look at news media in sports and otherwise, those universities with a strong journalism alumni base write and share their perspectives with a broader forum than those without. Set us back a bit IMO.

I think this latest probation is just one of the final steps of our hazing ritual to join the SEC.

Because minor recruiting violation >>>>>>>>>>> rape

North Carolina got away with murder. Total academic fraud. Former players confirmed the allegations while Roy "dog face " Williams blatantly lied. They out lawyered the NCAA spending 30 million in attorney fees and beat them. We just roll over and take it in the tush. We need to grow a pair, especially with such a bs offense.

---

Maybe bc what we're "taking in the tush" is just a pin-*****. It's literally the lightest hand-slap possible. For f's sake we got fined $5,000... For an athletic department that makes millions. Why is everyone making such a big deal out of this?

---

The penalty is not the problem, it's the damage to our reputation and the negative publicity. It was an isolated incident and minor in scope but ESPN and the DMN treat us like we're serial rapists.

It doesn't seem to be having a negative impact on recruiting.

Take a look at who's on the NCAA Div 1 Rules Infraction Committee. Then you can ask yourself why tu and OU never get called out on rules infractions.

http://www.ncaa.org/ncaa-division-i-committee-infractions-roster

Jody Conrad's, tu former women's basketball coach and now Special Assistant to Athletics at tu

Jason Leonard, Executive Director of Athletic Compliance it Oklahoma

Why can't TAMU get on this committee?

---

It's also interesting that Stan Wilcox, NCAA Executive VP of Regulatory Affairs, was previously the VP and AD at Florida State.

There was bad blood between Wilcox and Jimbo at FSU.
