The NCAA has just revised the penalty for an athlete betting on a sport at their own school, other than their own sport: one-year sit-out, which cannot be counted as their redshirt year. (The old penalty: loss of all remaining eligibility.) Apparently, this is retroactive to May 2.

The strange thing is, there was no mention of changing the existing penalty for an athlete betting on their own sport (but not in any game where their own team is playing) at a different school: having to sit through some "gambling on your own sport is bad, m'kay?" class and the possibility of having to sit out up to half a season.

How can you think and hit at the same time? -- Yogi Berra
