KELLER'S lawsuit was suspious at best, however, with regards to Alabama getting put on probation a number of years ago, the NCAA went way over the top with thier sanctions. There was ANOTHER lawsuit brought against the NCAA by an Alabama booster, Logan Young, and he WON his suit also, and it was not thrown out or reversed. It has been widely recognized that the NCAA was overly harsh in the loss of scholarships, and restricted tv appearances for two years by the CRIMSON TIDE , not to mention, no BOWL appearances at the same time. Other universities , who had been accused of the same penalties ,went unpunished, if not ,un-investigated. (See Tennessee and the Tee Martin scandal..... Florida State......Notre Dame...).
But Alabama DID commit some violations, so dont misunderstand me here. We have paid the price, and it is readily apparent that it hurt the program tremendously, which was plainly obvious in the past weekends draft, with ZERO Alabama players chosen. BUT, it also shows you what kind of talent that Coach Mike Shula and Coach Nick Saban were working with in the last 5 years. ( or should i have said " lack" of talent )
ROLL TIDE!
