I finally found the thread I was looking for, but I'm not bumping the 2011/12 NCAA general discussion thread to bring up a topic last stated on page 11 of a 38 page thread.
The punishment

It's absolute bullshit. USC got hit harder despite them only doing it with 1 player? Miami boosters were giving stuff like parties, basketball tickets, jewellery, hookers, abortions for said Hookers who got knocked up by players amidst other transgressions.
Heck Miami basically got the same punishment as Boise State who were only buying recruits happy meals from McDonalds and letting players sleep on couches.
For all the good they did in punishing Penn State, they sure have ****ed it up by letting Oregon and Miami off the hook lightly. Absolute bullshit.
