The sarcasm is dripping profusely Mark. This is part and parcel for $EC football. I think Vandy's football program may be the only school in that conference that has not been on probation.

This could change. I heard a rumor that Vandy had a recent covert recruiting effort that involved sending a couple nerds with pocket protectors to a comic book convention.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- No matter how many games the University of Louisville men's basketball team wins this season, there will be no tournament reward.
The NCAA banned the team from all postseason play for one year Tuesday and placed the school on three years' probation following a year-long investigation into rules violations in the men's basketball and women's volleyball programs.
The Division I Committee on Infractions announced its penalties for the nine violations involving NCAA rules governing extra benefits, recruiting, financial aid, institutional control and ethical conduct.
The committee imposed other penalties as

Convicts and felons? You mean like convicted rapist who went to jail as a teenager or do you mean starting offensive linemen who stay up all night drinking and then go driving and kill people...while they were on there way to go deer hunting with high power rifles no less?

For every example you can show on Louisville there are at least two that can be shown on Kentucky.

Do you miss Mumme and Bassett buying players and going 1-10 with them. That is the funniest thing ever...the football program couldn't even cheat well enough to get a winning record. LOL

I am heartbroken over the UT investigation. They are my FAVORITE football team and has a rich tradition of excellence and gave us Peyton Manning to boot. I really hope this all goes away and they are not penalized because I would really hate............................................BL AH BLAH BLAH!!!!!!!!!!!! Could not happen to a better team if they get banned for life, 2 years, 1 year or even a couple of weeks. Pretty much the only team in the SEC that I won't root for in a game when they are not playing/beating the Big Blue is UT. The only good thing in Tennessee is Dale Hollow Lake, The One Stop / Punisher Lures and the Headrick Family, Ollies Restaurant's Catfish and El Ray's Mexican. All the rest of TN can move to Louisville and then I will have an even bigger reason to not go there than I already do.

Really? Just a few years back Memphis was caught cheating in volleyball and track. That is a recent one, people get caught cheating in various sports, it just doesn't happen as often as it does on the two major sports.
