[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 635442, member: 1776"] I read the whole 27 page document this morning, it is interesting to read. GT got hit hard not for the Ron Bell stuff - which was classified as Level II and the penalties were largely to disassociate with the Bell (the suspensions of Okogie and Jackson were related to this as well). Labarrie's violations are what killed the program. Both of his violations were seen as Level I by the NCAA. Both taking the prospect and his host to a strip club and also lying to the NCAA and GT about his involvement with it. GT was also hit harder because of previous Level I and Level II violations in its athletics programs. GT was given credit for 3 mitigating factors - prompt acknowledgement and acceptance of the violations, taking steps to remedy it, and a history of self-reporting level II and II violations. But importantly, GT was not given credit for 'exemplary cooperation' as it said GT did not uncover the violations (a failure of its compliance). The strip club visit really bothered the NCAA committee. It was the actions on that official visit that caused the NCAA to hand down the penalty where GT is not allowed to have any official visits during a home basketball game for the next 2 seasons. Basically all the recruiting penalties were handed down due to what Labarrie did on the official visit and him lying about it afterwards. When he went back for his second interview with the NCAA he claimed he did know about what happened, but said it was Jack's idea. The NCAA did not believe him because of the actions of Jack and the Associate Athletics Director (I think Lewis) don't support that. The vacation of records was also due to Labarrie. The ineligible athlete was the host who escorted Carter on his OV. By going to the strip club and going to have dinner at the lounge and not pay for it it made him ineligible. The NCAA did mention that they assigned the label of booster to Bell after he took 2 student-athletes (i'm assuming Okogie and Jackson) out to a dinner at an Atlanta Steakhouse and paid for it. After that all the benefits he provided to them were considered benefits provided by a booster according to the NCAA. Reading how Bell would operate is sort of insane. The report mentions multiple times that Pastner told him to never give anything to the SA's, that following NCAA rules were important to him. When he would visit campus Bell would leave with Pastner after a game or practice, but then circle back after Pastner had left to meet with SA's. He also specifically told the SA's never to mention to Pastner that he gave them anything. [/QUOTE]
