Larry Brown...

Larry Brown in trouble again?
Appears to be. Lack of head coach control. 9 game suspension. 3 year postseason ban. Looks like it's a grade-changing scandal. One of his assistants was involved in the changing of a players grades/cheating scandal at a HS in Dallas. Evidently all to get the player eligible to play at SMU. Same guy recruited Muiday.

The North Carolina basketball program under the leadership of Roy Williams ( Ex Kansas basketball coach ) will have their sanctions from the NCAA delayed. Roy Williams must be on edge after the Larry Brown sanctions were released. I gotta ask, will Roy Williams get a break from the NCAA because of his high ranked Tar-heels? The North Carolina Tar-Heels produces bigger bucks for the NCAA then Larry Brown's SMU Mustangs. Will money have a play in these two schools NCAA sanctions?

Yes.
 
SMU has a history of sanctions where as NC does not. Example :
The Southern Methodist University football scandal (also known as Ponygate) was an incident in which the football program at Southern Methodist Universitywas investigated and punished for massive violations of NCAA rules and regulations. The most serious violation was the maintenance of a slush fund used for "under the table" payments to players from the mid-1970s through 1986. This culminated in the NCAA handing down the so-called "death penalty" by canceling SMU's entire 1987 schedule. SMU was allowed to return for an abbreviated 1988 season, but opted to sit that season out as well after school officials determined it would be impossible to field a viable team.

The severity of the penalty left the SMU football program in ruin. The Mustangs had only one winning season over the next 20 years and failed to make another bowl game until 2009. To date, it is one of the most severe penalties ever imposed on a Division I program, and the only time the NCAA has canceled a football-playing school's entire season at any level.
