The U Declares Some Players Ineligible

The big scandal involving the U continued today as some punishment was dealt. Miami has declared several players ineligible for the upcoming season in College Football. Among the list of ineligible players is Jacory Harris, the starting QB of the Hurricanes. As it turns out, the ineligible players could possibly face zero suspended time. The NCAA could reinstate the players that are declared ineligible by a university. Miami is seeking for their players to return to them and quickly as their first game is September 5 against Maryland.

This sort of feels like a run around. Isn't the whole point of punishment to make the players miss some games? It just seems like the U doesn't want to play any games this season with any players not okay'd by the NCAA. If I was in charge at the U (and actually cared about upholding the amateur system instead of exploiting it for profit) I would just simply throw the players out of school or suspend them for a year. Either way, I certainly wouldn't just limit it to claiming ineligibility.

As for the NCAA, they should either suspend the players for a year or throw them out of school. If they don't do that and fail to suspend any of them for a significant amount of time, they should just throw their hands up in the air and admit the system is broken, publicly, and start all over. What do I actually expect to happen? Remember Terrelle Pryor? AAAGGGHHH?
