NCAA has given the Brigham Young University basketball program a two-year ban from competition.
The ban is punishment for suspending Brandon Davies for the rest of this season for violating the school's honor code.
"It is the policy of the NCAA that a player (or coach) who commits violations cannot be suspended while his team is competing for a national championship," said one member of the NCAA committee who refused to be identified. "Why do you think we chose not to suspend [UConn basketball coach] Jim Calhoun until next season, or allowed [Ohio State quarterback] Terrelle Pryor to play in the Sugar Bowl?"
"The NCAA needs those guys to compete in crucial contests now because it needs the revenue they generate. Let future players and coaches who had nothing to do with these scandals suffer the consequences, like we did with USC and SMU's football programs."
Just like in the "death penalty" handed to the Southern Methodist University football team in the mid-1980s, BYU basketball will not be allowed to compete with other NCAA programs. The ban will take effect in the 2014-15 and 2015-16 season to give Davies time to graduate from BYU.
