Yeah, it's easy to pick on the "little guys," isn't it?

So, Montana self imposes a 4 scholarship losses three years in a row because Gerald Kemp played in games he shouldn't have and because meals from boosters were an issue?

SELA self imposes a two years of 3 scholarship losses and one year of four losses after allowing 18 ineligible players to play one year and 17 ineligible players another year?

How freaking incompetent does Montana look now?

Right on par with some of the coaching.

So your complaint is that we were tougher on ourselves and held ourselves to a higher standard? We are MONTANA, our standards should be higher and we should be tougher on ourselves than other programs. You are not great because you do what everybody else does.

Maybe RE favored a big penalty to help justify his actions firing the HC and AD. Certainly, he doesn't mind losing schollies.

Meanwhile, down in Miami, Florida.....

Dumb question but who exactly "architected" the penalties for Montana? Engstrom, Haslam, the law firm representing us or a combination of those and why? Or do we really know how the negotiations went down?

"The report said in 90 percent of the cases, ineligibility resulted from the timing of a degree change, and that 86 percent of all ineligible athletes wound up graduating. Most would have remained eligible had they been properly advised about NCAA deadlines for changing majors, the report stated."

"The scholarship reductions include:

• Football from 63 to 60 in the 2013 and 2014 seasons, and to 62 in 2015.

• Men's basketball from 13 to 11 this season and to 12 for the following two seasons.

• Baseball from 11.7 to 10.7 for the 2014 and 2015 seasons.

• Women's basketball from 15 to 14 for this and next season."

"During the 2007 football season, Southeastern allowed 18 players to compete while ineligible, and 17 the season before. The men's basketball team had a high of seven ineligible players during its 2006-07 season."

"The report asserted that certain former compliance officials' misunderstanding of NCAA rules, turnover in the athletic department and records that went missing, possibly when they were moved during a renovation, all contributed to compliance problems. The report specifically cited former compliance coordinator Greg Harrod's "apparent misunderstanding" of NCAA rules while he worked at Southeastern from 2000-06."
