Quote:You think a true self-report about a meal that shouldn't have been purchased compares to what Marshall has done?
A meal that shouldn't have been purchased????? Jesus. You really do have a problem with facts. But, don't take my word for it. Let's see what the NCAA had to say.
1. NCAA Constitution 3-6-(a) [ethical conduct] -- The university's head track coach acted contrary to the principles of ethical conduct inasmuch as he did not, on all occasions, deport himself in accordance with the generally recognized high standards normally associated with the conduct and administration of intercollegiate athletics, in that his involvement in the violations in this case demonstrates a knowing and willful effort on his part to operate the university's intercollegiate track program contrary to NCAA legislation.
2. NCAA Bylaws 1-1-(a), 1-l-(B) and l-1-(B)-(1) [improper recruiting inducements] -- On several occasions during the fall, 1978-79 academic year, while recruiting a prospective student-athlete, the university's head track coach offered to arrange for the young man to be provided commercial airline transportation ~t no cost to travel from his home to Detroit, Michigan. Subsequently, this offer was fulfilled through the arrangements of this coach, in that a representative of the university's athletic interests purchased a one-way commercial airline ticket for the young man, which was utilized to travel to Detroit.
3. NCAA Bylaws 1-1-(a), 1-1-(B) and 1-7-(g) [improper recruiting inducements and transportation] -- (a) In March 1978, through the arrangements of the university's head track coach, a prospective student-athlete was provided one-way commercial air-line transportation to Toledo, Ohio, in order for the young man to enroll in the institution, and (B) On two occasions, the university's head track coach has transported a prospective student-athlete by automobile at no cost from the Metro Airport, Detroit, Michigan, to the university's campus in order for the young man to enroll in the university.
4. NCAA Bylaw 4-6-(d)-(h) [certification of compliance requirements] --With full knowledge at the time that certain practices of the university's intercollegiate track program were not in compliance with NCAA legislation, the university's head track coach attested on May 15, 1979, on a statement filed with the chief executive officer of the university, that he had reported to the chief executive officer his knowledge of and involvement in any violations of NCAA legislation involving the institution.
5. NCAA Constitution 3-h-(B)-(3)-(i) and Bylaw 1-8-(a) [improper financial aid and precollege enrollment expenses] -- In December 1978, the university's head track coach paid on behalf of a prospective student-athlete a processing fee required by the institution's admissions office to evaluate a prospect's application.
6. NCAA Bylaws 4-6-(d) and 4-6-(d)- (4) [questionable practice in light of NCAA requirements] -- In the years 1978 and 1979, the university's chief executive officer, relying on information provided by the university's head track coach and without intent to do so, erroneously certified the university's compliance with NCAA legislation.
And, I'll repeat my earlier comment. At least Marshall has the good sense to cheat in a revenue producing sport.
