It would just put us into a 2 year window where it would serve us well to stay out of trouble. We were still in the previous probation period when these book violations were committed, and that is the main reason we are having to deal with scholarship reductions.
The text book issue, the main one, was after the window had closed.
However, when the NCAA asked for the investigation to go back to 2005 that fell into the past probation period.
It's there that I have an issue.
In the University's response they mention that there were some items that were included in pre-packaged sets and some of these things were items were test booklets or books recommended by professor's, but not required, for students taking those classes.
For a program to be held accountable for issues dealing with things like test booklets or a book the professor said should be read but wasn't required for the course - it just doesn't sit right with me.
The infraction of getting the books under fraudulent means and then giving them to friends that couldn't afford those books is an infraction I can see penalizing a program for.
The other infractions, despite the timing of them, shouldn't fall on the program in my opinion.

On a separate note, I had professors at UA that required test be taken using the same test booklets. How on earth that isn't required if the professor says it is...the logic is simply lost on me.
