   The NOTBCS Guy to All   
   NCAA strikes again?

   The NCAA has just revised the penalty for an athlete betting on a sport at   
   their own school, other than their own sport: one-year sit-out, which cannot   
   be counted as their redshirt year. (The old penalty: loss of all remaining   
   eligibility.) Apparently,    
   this is retroactive to May 2.   
      
   The strange thing is, there was no mention of changing the existing penalty   
   for an athlete betting on their own sport (but not in any game where their own   
   team is playing) at a different school: having to sit through some "gambling   
   on your own sport is    
   bad, m'kay?" class and the possibility of having to sit out up to half a   
   season.
