not sure if this has been addressed on here already, but anyways. Saw this article and thought haden was smarter than this or is he just trying to take advantage of the ncaa in its vulnerable state.

Due diligence. If this was his first attempt, he shouldn't have waited so long.

I also heard he only had three really good reasons. He should know these days you need at least four to convince the NCAA.

The Penn State and USC sanctions are two very different situations, i cant blame him for trying but the guys is still a giant douche nozzle

My first two thoughts when I read about the sanctions being reduced for PSU:

1)NCAA has just set a bit of a precedent, and will lighten the USC sanctions
2)Mark Emmert/NCAA were looking to troll USC and gave PSU a break so that when USC came to him/them with their hat out he could say: "no soup for you!!!"

four reasons or three zeros behind the first reason. haha

USC got what they deserved, but I must say that the NCAA has been very harsh on them compared to the other faulty programs. I can see their frustration when teams like North Carolina, Miami, Ohio State, the whole SEC, etc.. didn't get near as much punishment for similar offenses. I mean the NCAA is just looking bad in all of this.

PSU's situation is distinguishable though. The NCAA didn't go through its full process in the PSU case. It acted summarily, probably due to public pressure to take action, and when you don't even bother to follow your own procedures the punishment may look unfairly arbitrary in hindsight. USC has had every opportunity to make its case and got a fair punishment, case closed, nothing to talk about.
