Yea thats what the players have been told. I'm guessing it's more to it, but we'll see.

Fingers crossed that the self imposed was enough.

If we get a post season ban does that mean we can't go to the sec champ game? If so this will be the year we go undefeated

Yes

expecting the worse

Call me an optimist but I do not see a post-season ban.....just my 2 cents but take it for what its worth.

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

I am expecting the worse. I feel if they were going to go with our self imposed sanctions they would have just said that and not felt the need to make a big announcement.

[uscfsu23]

pretty sure I just puked thinking about this...

[CoverTwo]

We will be fine.

[ElectricCock]

if we do get a postseason ban it will be complete bull

[tkousc]

Well my Friday is ruined. Hoping for the best. I sure am glad Saunders didn't play in 2010.

Failed to monitor our program is probably the biggest thing. It makes a 2 time offender. They don't like that.

[eaglegolf018]

I think we will be fine. The track team, not so much

Gametime doing the paperwork to get players who had made restitution
already, eligable to play against SoMiss.

The big issue with the NCAA this time is the multiple violations with the
Track Players, and Byrd's association with SAM and the Carolina Booster.
Even that could have been lessend had it not been for the fact that
one of our coaches (Mangus I think) was made aware of it twice before
he decided to notify someone that Byrd had, had contact with a GC Club
Member associated with the SAM organization. That will be the killer if
they decide to come down hard on us. The fact that Byrd's father was
a member of SAM and him just being associated with that organization
wasn't an issue, and even more of a minor issue because of his father's
ties to that program. ..... accepting Rides and invited to a party after
one of our camps from a GC Booster with ties to SAM is THE Issue that
has our nuts in a vice right now.

Right, plus he was well connected through the Alumni Association and with coaches which is exactly the type booster that the NCAA would expect to be aware of the rules and monitored by the compliance office. Also, I got the impression that the investigator thought of the SAM thing as a sham charity that was really a recruiting tool for USC. That's why the hearing in LA was important. We don't want the infractions committee thinking the same thing.

Care to specify what you mean by the [worst]?

Many others across twitter, including Travis Haney, thinks the self-imposed sanctions will be enough.

I've also spoken to a few others that have better connections than I do and they agree.
