UCF hit with one year bowl ban

Reduction in schollys would have been a more impactful penalty.

I read that they lost 5 schollys as well

This is actually a very smart move. If the team is 3-3 or 2-3 then they can stop the appeal. Essentially they can stop the appeal at any time. UCF admin believes that the appeal process can be completed by November.

(in the voice of Nelson from the Simpsons) Ha ha!

If in fact they appeal, and additional dirt comes out during the appeal relating to the same infraction, does this open the door for the NCAA to assert more severe sanctions....would serve them right if they do in fact appeal. They should be thanking the sanction Gods that is all they got.

If they appeal, does it postpone the sanctions till that is settled? Meaning that it would apply to the 2013 football season and 2013-14 basketball season, when they join the Big East.

No. Now what is the answer to my question?

I would have to think that they could re-open anything if more infractions come to light.

Hitt said appeal process should last thru the season and if it is not successful then UCF would serve ban next season.

dumbest thing ever....it wouldn't affect this years recruits if they let it go

and I'd rather miss out on a CUSA bowl than a BE bowl

They have a better chance of going to a bowl through CUSA this year, than the Big East next year.

UCF's Clanton will be coveted

Keith Clanton will be the most coveted men’s basketball transfer if he wants to leave Central Florida in time for the fall semester after the NCAA handed down a postseason ban for 2013. The senior power forward is a legit, highly-skilled power player who would immediately help a team make an NCAA tournament run. If Clanton were to leave, a number of sources assume (maybe wrongly) that he would stay in state. Florida sounds like a natural fit, but would Gators coach Billy Donovan take a player off his former assistant’s team and crush Donnie Jones’ chances of at least being a contender for a regular-season C-USA title? Florida State sounds good, too. But the school that would make the most sense is South Florida. The Bulls recruited Clanton hard out of Orlando Christian Prep. The Bulls made the NCAA tournament last season, beating Cal in the First Four in Dayton, then Temple before losing to upstart Ohio in the third round in Nashville. USF has one of the top guards in the Big East in Anthony Collins. Coach Stan Heath has a power player in Toarlyn Fitzpatrick and a small forward in Victor Rudd Jr. But the depth upfront is lacking and the Bulls definitely have a scholarship available. Clanton would come in and immediately bolster this unit and give it a reliable scoring pop for an offensively challenged crew. Heath has depth at guard with Shaun Noriega and Jawanza Poland along with JC transfer Javontae Hawkins. But if the Bulls could land Clanton then he would be a game changer for USF in the Big East. Oh, and the Bulls -- in anticipation of UCF joining the Big East in 2013 -- scheduled an in-season home-and-home with UCF, including the season opener Nov. 10 at the Bulls’ renovated new Sun Dome.

Oh I would revell in having Clanton join the Bulls. Nothing like stabbing UCF in the back and then playing them twice with their best player on our team.

Clanton is definitely trending right now. Fans of schools all across this country are talking about what having Clanton on their team could mean. As the CBB writers are saying, Clanton is a All League Player in any conference. A difference maker for any team. We'll just have to see how much value Clanton puts on having a chance to play n the NCAAT his last season of CBB.
