BYU basketball forced to vacate 47 wins, put on two-year probation
Quote:The investigation found that four BYU boosters provided more than $12,000 in extra benefits to Emery, including vacations, cash, meals, free rounds of golf and the use of a car, the Division I Committee on Infractions released in a public report Thursday.
BYU offered two self-imposed penalties, including a $5,000 fine and the reduction of one men’s basketball scholarship, which will directly impact Emery, according to a source close to the program.
But the NCAA committee didn’t feel the restrictions went far enough and also forced the university to vacate all wins in which Emery played over the past two seasons — totaling 47 games — while also placing recruiting restrictions on the program and a two-year probationary period running through Nov. 8, 2020.
“I’m very disappointed with today’s NCAA ruling," BYU coach Dave Rose said in a statement. "I strongly support the university’s plan to appeal the decision. That being said, my focus is on our team and tonight’s game with Utah Valley.”
Emery played in 25 wins as a freshman in 2015-16 and 22 as a sophomore before leaving school prior to the 2017-18 season when the school received a notice of allegations from the NCAA. He was reinstated to the university and the basketball program in June.

It's sad in a way. What he got was peanuts compared to the class A infractions ranging from bogus classes with bogus grades to $100,000 a year under the table shoe money plus ho's he could have gotten in the East. This is what happens when a university doesn't have a big conference mob, uhm conference, affiliation to pressure the NCAA for them.

Are schools going to learn to simply not cooperate with the NCAA? It’s the only system I know where helping out to get yourself back on track is a bad thing. The organization doesn’t ease up, it drops the hammer.
But, don’t assist in any way, and watch how helpless and useless they become.
