The NCAA is deferring all future penalties, and collectively enforse them, of all recruiting violations of all colleges and lay them all to Cleveland State.

I'd really love to know what penalties Minnesota would get for the same infractions. Maybe about a 5-year post-season ban and about 5 scholarships/year taken away? Sounds about right.

The sad thing is pre-ESPN and Jim Calhoun, UConn was nothing. Complete zero. And now they can get away with murder unlike MN and many others.
 

I have to admit, my first thought was,

"Yes, that 3-game suspension will sure team 'em a lesson."

Pretty much any punishment that doesn't include a NCAA-imposed postseason ban, I don't pay any attention to it. Coaches can talk all they want about how hard it is to be docked scholarships, recruiting visits, phone calls & all that stuff, but postseason bans are the only penalties that will serve as a true deterrent. To me this just sounds like business as usual for UConn.

And no, Minnesota isn't picked on by the NCAA. We got what we deserved.
 

Hmmm, the article says that Calhoun dismissed a player in question for violating a restraining order against a woman. Huh, I guess that player wasn't grabbing 10+ boards a game :)
 

No Excuse BUT

Calhoun does what many Div I coaches do.

He just got caught doing it.
