[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 512540, member: 2175"] Hardly. About 300 bucks of clothing. A violation but hardly to the level of scandal. And the title was vacated, by my recollection, not because Thomas took the clothes, but because Radakovich told Johnson about the inquiry, to me an entirely reasonable and ethical action. Not to the NCAA. It was supposed to be hush-hush, a program investigated secretly and presumably a finding to be made without appeal at the end. Johnson then asked Thomas, and the NCAA, unwilling to deal with the pig sty in Chapel Hill, a septic tank in Tallahassee, and the House of Hookers (for 18-year-olds no less) in Louisville, scraped some gum off its shoe by lowering the boom on Georgia Tech. The penalty was not for taking the gift. It was for not following the strictures and rules of the all-powerful NCAA. I may be wrong because it was a long time ago and if anyone recalls differently, chip in. Wrong, yes. A violation, yes. Forfeit a title? Are you serious? In a world where famous quarterbacks assault women, steal laptops, take cars, hookers and parties ... the NCAA drops the hammer because a coach was told he was being investigated? And that violated "procedures". The scandal is the NCAA. [/QUOTE]
