[QUOTE="GT14, post: 635434, member: 3056"] Sent to GT-ALL at 4:36 yesterday, less than 5 hours after the release: Subject: Comment on Today's NCAA Report Students, Faculty and Staff: This morning, the NCAA Committee on Infractions issued its report regarding violations that took place in the Georgia Tech men’s basketball program in 2016-2017. As president and as an alumnus I am deeply disappointed by these violations, which are inconsistent with our values and our legacy of principled competition in intercollegiate athletics. I am encouraged that our athletics department leadership took immediate action once the violations came to light. It must be an institutional priority to ensure this type of conduct never occurs again at Georgia Tech. I am struck by the severity of the penalties imposed by the NCAA and the impact some of them will have on student athletes who had nothing to do with the violations. While I respect the Committee’s work on this case, we are exploring our options as to whether to appeal some aspects of the decision. Regardless of the outcomes of this process, we are committed to maintaining the highest level of ethical standards in Athletics and across the Institute. I know Todd Stansbury, Georgia Tech’s Athletic Director and a fellow alumnus, feels as strongly as I do. ___________________ Ángel Cabrera President, Georgia Tech [/QUOTE]
