Some interesting comments from the article -

UNLV became the highest-profile FBS program to suffer a bowl ban for falling below the NCAA's Mendoza Line.

In fact, UNLV is the only FBS program to be penalized in the 10-year history of the mysterious Academic Progress Rate.

...Somewhere deep in the halls of the NCAA, they are likely raising a muted toast.

The system "worked."

Quote:APR will now measured on a four year rotating scale so that a particularly bad year like the one UB just had will not bring the schools APR score below the threshold. The reason for this is that often when a Coach leaves, like Turner Gill did, many players go as well. That negatively impacts the APR for the current season but only counts 25% towards the programs running APR.

UConn missed the NCAA Tournament last year because of the APR rule. I'm not saying that the treatement of NC is not a total embarrassment but lets not pretend graduating less than 50% of your incoming freshman (930 APR) makes UNLV a victim here..

This is some what a inside joke that Louisville fans will get, but I really don't want to explain. I think it's pretty obvious what I am saying. Again someone has to go down, and it's not going to be we know who university for they do no wrong.

Guess thats why Rupp Arena couldn't get the money for the major renovation. The payroll just went Way up with all of the returning players And the Recruiting Class coming in. Cheaper to buy a Championship.

It's not part of the penalties so much as it's SOP for the NCAA. If your team gets a postseason ban, the players can transfer out.

The way it worked for basketball was only seniors could transfer without sitting out a year (Alex Oriakhi to Mizzou). Transfer rules applied to all other players and they had to sit out a year (Roscoe Smith to UNLV).
