According to a report on WGAL, Central Florida will be ineligible for the postseason in college football and basketball, sanctions that were to be handed down by the NCAA for recruiting violations Tuesday.
UCF already self-imposed penalties related to the recruiting practices that involved the use of an agent with a criminal background helping to push players to Orlando. The self-imposed violations included three years of probation, vacating all basketball victories for three seasons — between 2008 and 2011 — and giving up one basketball scholarship.
Note the big difference here. Improper recruiting gave Central Florida an unfair competitive edge. Thus their wins were tainted and should be expunged. There is no such circumstance for Penn State Football, all honorably played and won.
