Alabama A&M Facing Athletics Penalties

[grizband]

This doesn't bode well for the school!

"The NCAA alleges Alabama A&M miscertified 101 student athletes:

From the article, here are the penalties the NCAA prescribes against the university:



Five years of probation from September 11, 2018 through September 10, 2023
A vacation of records in which student-athletes competed while ineligible
A 2018-2019 postseason ban for the baseball, men's basketball, football, and men's golf teams
Scholarship reductions the baseball, men's basketball, football, and men's golf teams
Recruiting restrictions for the 2018-19 academic year
The university cannot recruit two-year college transfers who would enroll during the 2019-2020 academic year
The school will also have to pay a total of $48,000 in fines

On the HBCU board, someone alluded that TSU, JSU, and Southern have faced similar charges. Panther, you are clearly more educated in HBCU schools, is this something additional programs could potentially face?

They did but they won the appeal due to a clerical error by the NCAA.

Southern got killed by penalties due to an error by their athletic department which killed their APR scores. The tried to appeal knowing that there was an error but the NCAA denied them. Southern has the highest GPA and graduation rate amongst football players in the SWAC so everyone knew that the APR stuff was bogus. Jackson State's APR issue was VERY similar to Southern's. Texas Southern's was completely different, they intentionally played ineligible players during their 2010 SWAC Title run.

Like UNC will ever receive more than a wrist slap, to much money would be lost if they're ineligible for postseason.

This ^^^^^^^^. But I would add that there was intentional "stuff" occurring @ SU which had to be rectified (former employees doing documented illegal stuff).

That's what led to the "house cleaning" in the athletic department.

ASU33 and Panther88, thanks for your information and perspective.

Guaranteed. I'm not recalling too much but I thought there were some who were prosecuted? (state employees)
