Former Michigan State assistants hit with six and five year show-causes

Ugh.

I think it was just Tucker, his GM, and 1 assistant coach.

"The NCAA handed Tucker, former Michigan State general manager Saeed Khalif and former assistant coach Brandon Jordan show-cause penalties. Tucker was given a three-year order. The NCAA said Tucker "failed to adequately monitor his program." Khalif (six years) and Jordan (five years) were given longer penalties for knowingly providing impermissible recruiting inducements, according to the NCAA. The three cannot work in college athletics until their show-cause orders end."

If my math is correct, the 1.5% penalty amounts to $879k. Not an insignificant amount of money.

Failure to monitor.  As if he had no idea what his assistants were doing.

As a Michigander this pisses me off. How does MSU get a bigger penalty than U of M?

Jerry Tarkanian explained it well many years ago when Kentucky basketball was being investigated for things like FedEx envelopes and shoeboxes full of cash were sent to recruits, yet Kentucky always seemed to escape serious penalty:

"The NCAA is so mad at Kentucky they're going to give Cleveland State another year of probation"

Another example of the NCAA double standards Michigan vs Michigan State penalties.

Ha. So True. It’s going to be real funny when CMU gets a bigger penalty than Michigan for allowing Stallions on their sideline to scout MSU in his spy gear.
