I'm not sure if the NCAA really has the power to, for example, suspend a player for regular season games (outside of the current rules for major penalties). On the other hand, the NCAA does suspend players for regular season games when there are eligibility problems. Maybe this is just the NCAA's traditional way of dealing with misconduct problems in NCAA events. Anyway, the penalty of one NCAA game is probably a smart one. From the perspective of last year, Wisconsin was a fairly good bet to make to make this year's NCAA tourney. Missing an NCAA tourney game is worth 3-4 regular season games IMHO. By the way, Wisconsin assessed their own penalties against the players, Moore and Zent, and coach Sauer. They all sat the first game this year. ----mg Ya'sure, ya'betcha!
