I believe the sanction was scheduled to be lifted in 2015 when it was imposed. So no change in course here. The sanction was supposed to be punitive in nature in order to punish the school administration for stonewalling and covering up the truth. However the sanction wasn’t intended to last forever. So the NCAA did what they said they would do.
No, the NCAA was gonna lose in court. Cutting their loses. Blame the dead guy is all the left wing FReepers have. Pathetic.
