"I'm not disputing that violations happened on my watch," Tyndall told CBS Sports. "I acknowledge that. I take responsibility for that. I should be punished similarly to the way [Syracuse coach] Jim Boeheim and [SMU coach] Larry Brown were punished when violations happened on their watches. But what the NCAA did to me is wrong. The NCAA interviewed 40 people, and most of them denied I had any knowledge of academic fraud, and none of them, except Adam Howard, said I was involved. And Adam Howard only said what he said after he cut a deal with the NCAA thanks to his lawyer who used to be on the Committee on Infractions. In other words, lots of people said I wasn't involved -- and only one person said I was involved. But the NCAA took the word of one person over everybody else and buried me. That's not right or fair -- especially when you consider that these false allegations also cost me my job at Tennessee. And that's why I trust that the Appeals Committee will vacate these findings and allow me to continue my coaching career. Because the evidence presented doesn't match the findings, and the punishment doesn't fit the crime."

I agree with him. His punishment was much worst than coaches with bigger names received.

What else is new? Syracuse and UNC both got a gentle tap on the wrist for infractions as bad or worse.

What was it Jerry Tarkanian said? "The NCAA is so mad at Kentucky theyre going to give Cleveland State another year of probation."

North Carolinas punishment hasn't been decided yet, I don't think.

Don't be the coach at USM when M$U F's up.

He is a peal

Nope, but we saw what they did to Miami... I agree with you that he is correct here. The ncaa is anything but consistent and they need to start being called out like this.

The other side of that is that I still think he got caught at a bunch of stuff that he should be hammered over.

Has no chance of winning any appeal IMO.

It would be hard enough if he was still at USM & getting an appeal on behalf of the school.

There's a reason why all of a sudden they became good in basketball.

The same reason Tyndall got hammered for it.

Hammer away, just be consistent.

Like I have anything to say about it. I am for having a consistent strike zone though..

They had become a good team under Eustacy, not Tyndall.

Like we all of a sudden became good in football.

Think he had the problem at the job prior to USM and then the same thing happened at USM...me thinks he doth protest too much.

Clark > 'Stache.

Tyndall is still a scumbag no matter how you slice it. I think it goes without saying we all want a level playing field.

Also if anyone is saying that McGee is better than Clark that night become a bannable offense.
