Boise State hit with violations in multiple sports (including Football)!

The majority of allegations involve impermissible housing, transportation or meals, where an incoming student-athlete was provided a place to sleep (often on a couch or floor), a car ride or was provided free food by an existing student-athlete.

In football, the NCAA determined that total dollar value over five years was $4,934 for all of the housing, transportation and meals provided to 63 incoming student-athletes. All services ranged from $2.34 to a maximum of $417.55 and have been reimbursed by the student-athletes. In tennis and track and field, the NCAA determined that 16 student-athletes had received extra benefits over the five years equaling a $718 value. Other small dollar excess benefits are also alleged in the notice. All these funds were reimbursed as well and all were donated to charity.

Give the fiesta bowl trophy to OU.

Divorce Ian Johnson and that cheerleader.

Something needs to be done.

This is hilarious? How do you even get caught giving players benefits that average 15 bucks a year?

Seriously though, they didn't even give the players beds to sleep in. This should be a non-issue.

Getting to crash on a floor doesn't seem like much of a "benefit".

The $5 moneyshakes at Boise

If they actually get hit with lack of institutional control for this, it will go down as the most idiotic NCAA ruling ever, and that's saying a lot

I went up there for a visit in 2005 and they gave me a Popsicle and a McDouble. I think I'm screwed...
