South Carolina NCAA Sanctions To Be Announced Friday

Remember that story from two years ago, when South Carolina Gamecocks tight end Weslye Saunders found himself drawn into the great UNC football scandal? It's finally wrapping up, as the NCAA is set to announce its sanctions against South Carolina at 2:30 p.m. ET Friday.

The Cocks already dinged themselves six scholarships for allegedly letting a nearby hotel give reduced rates to players and some other general agent-y activity. Don’t expect the punishments to be too severe or anywhere near as hard as the hammering UNC got, as the Heels had a whole heap of other stuff going on.

As far as PR goes, there’s really no time to find out about NCAA punishments quite like the middle of the NFL Draft, when your school was the only one in its division to make the first round, right?
