capt crap is going to tow the company line on this one. i'm standing firm that currie is a jackass.
You guys are acting like there were multiple options available to K-State once they found out about the violation, and then Currie or somebody in Compliance purposely chose the shittiest one. That isn't how it works, at all.
There's basically two options when they are made aware of a violation: report it or ignore it. Once you choose to report it, there's a process they go through (rule him ineligible, apply for reinstatement, get a ruling). Once it's reported, the only judgement involved is that of the NCAA.
If you choose to ignore it, you are taking a serious risk -- when it comes out later (which it almost certainly would have, considering who it was) and the NCAA finds out that K-State knew and chose to overlook a potentially serious violation, they come down hard -- postseason bans, scholarship reductions, etc. You really want to go down that road over $200?
I know it sucks, but really K-State was in a pretty awful spot with no real options. If you want to upset with anything I'd say be upset with the NCAA for ruling it a violation despite CM and JS previous relationship.
