I guess if you are the little guy, you can still be punished for cheating...

NEW YORK -- Fordham men's basketball must vacate wins across two seasons and former coach Keith Urgo was hit with a two-year show-cause penalty under NCAA sanctions for recruiting violations.

The Rams were placed on three years of probation and must vacate 41 wins over the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons for impermissible benefits during recruiting visits. The program also was fined $35,000, plus 2% of the men's basketball budget.

​

Former director of basketball operations Trevonn Morton was hit with a three-year show-cause penalty for misleading NCAA investigators, and former athletic director Edward Kull was hit with a one-year show-cause penalty

Fordham said in a statement it cooperated with the NCAA Committee on Infractions and self-imposed sanctions prior to completion of the investigation.
The improper benefits included a photo shoot at Times Square, jet ski rentals and tickets to New York Knicks, Brooklyn Nets and New York Giants games.
Urgo was fired on March 20 following the Rams' second straight losing season and a last-place finish in the Atlantic 10.

As we have seen, the little guy is much more likely to be punished than the big guys.

Uh oh. A Times Square photo shoot those cheating bastards. What a laughable institution the NCAA has become. The fine is interesting - 35K + 2% of bball budget. That's got to be an addition $50K or more.

I believe it was Tark that said something about Kentucky getting in trouble and the NCAA being so mad they were going to put Cleveland State on probation.

Fordham should file suit. In the age of NIL, these rules are archaic.
