Oh NIU Athletics, how will you dissapoint me next? Let me count the ways......

speaking of disappointing, did anyone else notice the story about this on the MAC Web site? The headline touted nine MAC programs that got mentioned. Funny, when i counted it, there were 10! good going, MAC Web site writer!!! LOL

The full APR has been released.

The following MAC programs will receive penalties:

Ball State men's basketball (APR of 863) - practice reduction (historical), public notice (historical)
Toledo men's basketball - scholarship reduction: 2 (immediate), public notice (historical)

That's it. No penalties for football for any school, no public notices, nothing.
