Is it a good thing or a bad thing that the ruling has taken so long? I'm completely stumped as to why it has taken this many months now. What could they possibly be deciding on that would take so much time?

I don't think it's a good thing. I think they're trying to justify nailing us to the wall despite all their indiscretions.
 
hard to say. seems like quicker would be better to me though.

some have suggested that there may be behind the scenes negotiating of sorts with the idea being that the NCAA fears a lawsuit. I dont believe that though and think they are just trying to **** us
 
It aint good, tell you that much. I am willing to bet a wigger's gold teef and chains that there are holdouts for at least one more bowl ban and major scholarship reductions. The whole thing is a mess. PSU got ruled on twice before we got ruled on once. Think about that.

It is what it is. I don't think it's necessarily good or bad. Most of the people on the COI are college administrators themselves--and they take summer family vacations just like everyone else, have unforeseen family or professional difficulties just like everyone else, and delay their work just like everyone else. We're still within the "normal" time frame for an investigation of this size. If we go into November or December without any word, then I'll start to get a little worried.
 
I think it's a good thing. I think they know they can't give us much more in penalties so this is their way of doing it.
 
Honestly If you couldn't understand from the get-go that the NCAA has an agenda against UM you are completely blind. The NCAA was/is trying to bury us at all costs during the investigation. They lost a ton of case workers due to their incompetency and recieved massive public humiliation from our case. Their plan is still to bury us. Simple as that.

In a perfect world this case would of been dumped 3 years ago when people realized that this is all based on the word of a convicted felon. A felon who lied to millions of ppl and scammed millions of $.

The case has affected 3 recruiting cycles.

IMO they are purposely dragging their feet. They know we are on the rise and gaining serious momentum. I would not expect a decision until late December.
 
I think the PSU ruling has to be very favorable for our case, either in court suing their asses or in our initial punishment. No way that they can reward Penn State for their administrative response and not us, we've been as on top of it as possible.

On face value it is a bad thing but I think there might be another motive. I think we very well might get time served but the NCAA will stick it to us by not announcing til after NSD or there may never actually be an announcement and this just fades away over time.....
 
This was bad when they got caught trying to fug us....Hope everyone on the COI catches the most sever strain of swine flu and diarrhea.
 
I thought I read that the COI will meet in late October. I suppose that's when we will hear something. I don't think the time it has taken means anything other than the NCAA is more inefficient than other organized crime organizations.

Ooooops. Did I say that?
 
Anything more than a pat on the back for being so cooperative, acknowledging the punishment already self-imposed, and the complexities of the case, with minimal further punishment is too much. The NCAA knows Miami will go HAM on them if they try to do anything more. Miami has already self-imposed more than was needed, based on the final accusations by the NCAA.

It could be that UM challenged so much of the allegations and evidence at the hearing that the COI had to look at all the information again. Just my theory based on nothing.
 
Personally don't think it ends up being bad. From what little I've gotten to know, and also based on the fact that it is clear the agenda was to nail us to the wall. If they had what they needed to drop the hammer and cripple the program, they would've done so. There would've not been any delay, if you got the pingon, you drop the hammer.

I believe what we have here, is ***** *** sour grapes, they had evidence, they had proof, but due to their own incompetence and unethical behavior could not use it. Simple case of someone ****ed that they know they had **** and can't use it. So all they are resorting to is delay tactics as a form of punishment.

Again, with the overzealous manner in which they went about this, if they had the ability to drop the hammer, they would've done so already. In my humble opinion
 
COMPLETELY THIS. They are going to try to throw the book at us but don't want to completely sink their own ship while doing so.

There is absolutely no telling with these guys. Nothing they've done indicates using any logic whatsoever, other than wanting to ruin us. Don't expect anything benign out of them.
 
Whether its ultimately good or bad I have no idea. As some have speculated I believe there is still disagreement among the COI members and they are still thrashing that out. I also blame the delay in acting on the typical inefficiency of quasi-governmental and academic institutions lack of a sense of urgency for anyone or thing but themselves.

In the long run I think they'll settle pretty much on time served with some minor recruiting and scholarship restrictions. Anything much harsher will result in actions that will ultimately prove to be severely detrimental to the NCAA, and more importantly (to the NCAA administration), would probably result in a complete housecleaning of senior staff. I believe they'll consider self-preservation above all else, even their butt-hurt.
 
they messed up so much that they are trying to figure out anything to pin on us, im pretty sure they didnt like us doing the bowl bans because they werent the ones enforcing it, now that they messed up on their investigation trying to make something that wasnt really that bad in the first place into something horrible, if its something more than scholarship reductions then this is going to court, the NCAA is trying to flex its muscles any chance it gets when its something that doesnt involve a SEC school (but thats a whole different story)

I'm thinking their ship is sinking anyway, they're trying to stay afloat. They're just trying to figure out how best to do it. Think about how many ***** ups: Johnny football, psu, no cam, the lawsuit over unauthorized NCAA use of athletes' images for profit, conference realignment, real long list here....too long to continue

The NCAA has painted itself into a no win corner: harsh penalties? after all perps are gone from the U, self imposed sanctions, model cooperation, and clear unethical investigative tactics, self corroborating proof, etc, NCAA looks the jackass

No penalties, NCAA looks the p#ssy

The best option to public ally impose "harsh" penalties that th U has already imposed, recognize the old bad and new good of Miami

But Emmett is running scared, dead man running IMO


Emmett trying to keep his job, is IMO, gonna float the proposed penalties past board members at theOctober meeting, to take their pulse to see how he can best save his own ***.
