Four games... yeah, not sure if it impacts us unless we need the strength of schedule.

MURFREESBORO -- MTSU quarterback Dwight Dasher has been suspended four games by the NCAA, per a ruling handed out this afternoon.
Dasher, a senior, violated the NCAA’s amateurism legislation by accepting a loan from Murfreesboro resident Oliver Donnell. He was ruled ineligible by the NCAA for preferential treatment. The university can appeal the decision
Dasher, the Sun Belt preseason offensive player of the year, has sat out MTSU’s first two games. He will be suspended two more games. Dasher will be eligible to play MTSU’s home game against four-time defending Sun Belt champion Troy on Oct. 5 on ESPN2.
“Middle Tennessee State University respects the NCAAs decision but we do plan to make a formal appeal,” MTSU athletic director Chris Massaro said. “The appeal process is already under way and we feel there is enough mitigation to warrant a three-game suspension.”
Donnell and Dasher agreed that a $1,500 loan was given to the quarterback. Donnell said Dasher used the money for poker games.
