[Husker] Oklahoma forfeits 2005 football season; NU went 9-3?

[Brown, Laura (LLU)]

But the fact still is that it is usually the University that is sited
for lack of oversite.  We all know that OU has a reputation for holding
the reins rather loosely.  :)  Laura

     I hold no love lost for the Sooners but I still don't like the way
the NCAA handles violations.  I am not saying I have a better way but
sometimes it seems so unfair.  Many times teams/universities are
punished a few years after the fact when the personalities involved may
not even be around any more.  That is true of both players and coaches.
The other thing is if one and only one assistant coach is caught in
violation the whole team is punished.  In pro sports it is not that way.
The alleged offender(s) are the ones punished and that is it.  But in no
sense does a team have to give up wins, playoff appearances, and etc.
