That would be like the slack they (NCAA) showed Alabama?

Croom will have enough pressure on him without being burdened by the stiff penalties he could inherit for possible rules violations by Jackie Sherrill's teams from 1998-2002. Neither Croom nor anyone else at Mississippi State is pleading for special favors. But, in judging how hard to come down on the Bulldogs, the NCAA should consider the consequences. It's in the interest of the NCAA, whose leadership has voiced support for greater diversity in coaching, that Croom be given a fair shot at resurrecting the sorry Bulldogs. They went 2-10 this season and 8-27 over the past three years. If they were breaking rules, they surely weren't showing anything for it on the football field.
