Doesn't work that way. Don't know why people have it in their heads that it does.
Anything we self-impose counts towards whatever the NCAA comes down with.
No. It doesn't.
The NCAA takes it into consideration when levying punishment. That's it.
Exactly. So if they want to give two, but we we've given up two what do you think happens?
It depends. If we're looking at major sanctions, they might tack a post season ban on, regardless of what we''ve done. If they aren't, there's no guarantee that self imposing again will lessen any scholarship reductions.
Once again, the NCAA doesn't say, " well, we were going to give you a two year ban, but since you already took it, you're cool."
COMO? So they say, " we think you deserve two years, so **** your two years; here's two more?
They don't say well, we were going to give you a year postseason ban plus 16 over 4, but, since you took two years of your own accord, we're just going to give you 12 over 3.
Nobody is really saying it work likes that. The argument for-- and mind you I haven't declared my own position on this-- is about spreading the sanctions around instead of taking a lump sum on the chin. IF, I have to take 2 Post-season bans and X schollies over Z years i'd rather have a part of it out of the way if I can. [/COLOR]
Doesn't work like that. The NCAA takes it "into consideration" when deciding punishment. Lots of examples of schools surprised by the NCAA adding additional punishment onto self imposed sanctions.
That just means that NCAA's punishment was greater than what the institution self-imposed.
