South Carolina football receives 3 years probation, loses 6 scholarships for NCAA violations

Jeff Emanuel (@jeffemanuel) April 27, 2012The NCAA is barely slapping South Carolina on the wrist for paying student athletes. They won’t suffer a bowl ban nor will they have to forfeit any games, all they have to do is give up just 6 scholarships within the next three years. Oh, and they were fined a whopping $18,500.
“The university regrets the past actions and decisions by individuals that resulted in violations of NCAA legislation,” South Carolina athletics director Eric Hyman said in a statement released after the NCAA ruling. “We are pleased, however, that the Committee on Infractions found the corrective actions we have taken and the penalties we have self-imposed reflect the University’s commitment to full compliance with NCAA rules.”
South Carolina penalized for NCAA rule breaking. Loss of 6 schollys. Spurier was able to talk his way out of any real trouble. #Fratdaddy—

South Carolina players got drastically reduced rent, boosters paid for unofficial visits — lose 6 scholarships. The other USC surely fumes.—
