 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Big-money athletic programs avoided most of the NCAA's penalties. Next year, they might not be so lucky.
The latest Academic Progress Report released by the NCAA on Wednesday showed only 11 BCS teams were punished for poor classroom performance, while historically black colleges and universities accounted for 13 percent of all sanctioned schools. Of the 49 warning letters sent out, 13 went to Louisiana teams.
That discrepancy could change next year when the NCAA plans to drop a mathematical calculation that helped some BCS teams avoid punishment this year, and NCAA president Myles Brand is already sounding the warnings.
