What was their crime?

Academic fraud and players getting extra benefits paid for at hotels during game stays. More info here.

Academic fraud? At Berkeley? Say it isn't so! Well, I know that they'vve always had a hard time fielding a winning team because of the academic standards, but this is beyond the Pale!

Imagine stooping to the standards of their competitors! < /sarcasm >

Cal's athletic teams achieved a combined 3.04 grade-point average during this past academic year, while 148 Golden Bears earned Academic All-Conference honors.

Frankly, I find this hard to believe -- unless they have had considerable grade inflation since I attended there!
