He said a heavy fine would have been better.So Mr Bilas what would you have done? Slapped them on the back of the hand with a ruler? Tell them now don’t do that again or we’re going to put you in a timeout?

We can't give penalties for the future because it punishes people who weren't involved when the violations happened. Can't vacate the past because "the kids earned it." Guess we're left with left with Vitale's "just write a check" where any school with sufficiently wealthy donors can afford to cheat. Or, we'd hear the pundits complain that basketball's sins were bankrupting the athletic department and harming the rowing team. Seems like the only answer is don't fracking cheat.

If you set this up where the most wealthy institutions can just write a check, there would be no rules.

"They Earned It"? I can't believe a guy who has a law degree would subscribe to such faulty logic. How can you earn something when you cheated to get it? If you cheat in any endeavor in life, be it your taxes, your job, your education, etc. , you haven't earned it. Given his views on "cheating" i.e. UNC, UL, I'm beginning to wonder what he thought about cheating when he was a law student.
Yep pretty much. If you take away their title then you are punishing the kids for something they earned. And of course no program should have lose scholarships or be put on probation because then you would be punishing the following team and not the kids that got caught.So, no program should ever vacate any games! He's off base on this one.

I wish I knew what he thinks he knows!Don’t give a drop of rat piss what that dbag thinks. I wish he actually knew as much as he thinks he does.
