Well, the almighty NCAA flexed those muscles yet again, taking on another giant of college athletics and showing why they are master of all and rule with an iron fist. Pay no attention to the fact that they were handed The U on a silver platter, but had to sneak out of Miami with their tails tucked. Never mind that North Carolina created an entirely fake curriculum so players could get A's for simply enrolling. Don't worry that they were spoon fed documented cheating by numerous players, agents and boosters. (It's okay, one of them had to sleep in his car one night) Those are all trivial matters compared to their latest challenge. Thank God that we have such a balanced, fair-minded organization overseeing the college athletic programs in this country. And besides, it WAS a Subaru. foxy
The NCAA came down hard on the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor on Thursday for a so-called improper benefit which will cost the football program its 2016 national championship.
The Division III school, based in Belton, Texas, was forced to vacate its title and wins in which ineligible players played in games because the head coach let a player use his car for more than 18 months. The school said the ruling means 29 victories between the 2016 and 2017 seasons would be vacated.
Officials said they would appeal the punishment.
Mary Hardin-Baylor head coach Pete Frendenburg loaned a player his 2016 Subaru for the two seasons in question and then loaned it to a second player, but the car broke down and had to be towed.
Frendenburg said he “unintentionally†broke the rules. He had already been suspended by the school for three months without pay and sat out the first three games of the 2018 season due to the violation.

“I've spent my entire career as a football coach investing in kids,†Frendenburg said in a statement (https://cruathletics.com/news/2019/10/10/general-umhb-responds-to-ncaa-infractions-public-report.aspx). “In this instance, I unintentionally broke NCAA rules. I regret this, and I accept responsibility.â€
School president Randy O’Rear said the university took the NCAA’s investigation seriously but disagrees with their decision to add more penalties.
“Although the university recognized the seriousness of the violations it has self-reported, it respectfully disagreed with the Committee on Infractions decision to add to our self-imposed sanctions the vacating of wins and records for the 2016 and 2017 football seasons,†O’Rear said. “In light of all the circumstances surrounding this case and as a matter of principle for all the student-athletes who had no part in the infractions, we requested an expedited hearing on that one issue of disagreement.â€
In addition to the vacated wins, the football program will be placed on probation for two years, will need enhanced compliance training and will have to pay a $2,500 fine.

Wow, thank God that serial offender is off the streets. Now the National Communists Against Athletes can move on to more pressing matters, like making sure SPUAT has all their backdated cease and desist letters up to date.

Its decisions like this that makes people loathe the NCAA.
Beat bama two years in a row, almost get the death penalty. But self report loaning a player 500 dollars, and you get ice cream.
