What is the death penalty?

The repeat-violator legislation (so called “death penalty”) is applicable to an institution if, within a five-year period, the following conditions exist: (a) following the announcement of the major case, a major violation occurs, and (b) the second violation occurred within five years of the starting date of the penalty assessed in the first case. The second major case does not have to be in the same sport as the previous case to affect the second sport.

The minimum penalties for repeat violators of legislation, subject to exemptions authorized by the committee on the basis of specifically stated reasons, may include any or all of the following:

  1. the prohibition of some or all outside competition in the sport involved in the latest major violation for one or two sports seasons and the prohibition of all coaching staff members in that sport from involvement directly or indirectly in any coaching activities at the institution during that period;
  2. the elimination of all initial grants-in-aid and recruiting activities in the sport involved in the latest major violation in question for a two-year period;
  3. the requirement that all institutional staff members serving on the NCAA Board of Directors Management Council, Executive Committee or other committees of the Association resign their positions, it being understood that all institutional representatives shall be ineligible to serve on any NCAA committee for a period of four years; and
  4. the requirement that the institution relinquish its voting privilege in the Association for a four-year period.

Good re-cap of Big Cat Weekend

(even if i don’t agree with your negatives about what happened at Toomers Jerry – WDE!) 

The positives: Well, for starters, the same positive we could take away from the Limo Gambit: once again, this staff has proven that if it can’t outwork its opponents on the recruiting trail, it’s going to do its damnedest to outthink and out-innovate them. Maybe it ends up working, maybe it doesn’t, but you get the sense that as long as Curtis Luper and other assorted sharp cookies like Malzahn and Taylor are around, there won’t be any stops not pulled out, no tricks left in the bag. If you’ll pardon yet another cliche: if they’re going down, they’re going down swinging.

BIG CAT WEEKEND

“Whats up Nick Saban? How you doing? Wait til we get here” – Lache Seastrunk (Rivals.com #1 Rated runningback in the nation)

Sony PSP Go = Really Cool

Sony PSP Go

Sony’s struggling handheld gets a much-needed shot in the arm with the new PSP Go ($TBA). Being officially introduced at E3 2009 this week, the slider-gamer sports a 3.8-inch display, 16GB of flash storage, Bluetooth, and a Memory Stick Micro slot. Gone is the UMD drive, making it about 40% lighter than the current PSP. The Go will also offer PlayStation Network support and integration with the PlayStation 3.

Question: What causes bama fans to get ticked off and bama media to write articles about AU violating rules?

Answer: BIG CAT WEEKEND

Although NCAA rules (Bylaw 13.10.6) bar the introduction of visiting student-athletes during any function, videos of the event posted on two Web sites show the crowd cheering as the players are introduced by name, position and hometown. The man yelling the introductions does not appear on the videos, but assistant head coach Trooper Taylor is shown leading the crowd in cheers immediately after the introductions.

Introduction of student-athletes would be a secondary violation and would not affect the athletes’ eligibility.

NCAA Bylaw 13.10.5 prevents schools from publicizing an athlete’s visit or allowing the visitor to “participate in team activities that would make the public or media aware of the prospective student-athlete’s visit to the institution (e.g., running out of the tunnel with team, celebratory walks to or around the stadium/arena, on-field pregame celebrations).”

This can’t happen…Auburn can’t be allowed to do this…how many recruits were there? Well guess what, we did…and we’re about to own the state again come November. Spin your propaganda all you want bama media machine, your about to be SOL (Thanks Lache). Bottom line, everyone is talking about Auburn (again) for the second time in the offseason, get off our jock bama.
