Offseason: Matt Faiella suspended if SB makes the playoff

Newsday released the following article. Its painful to see the
power of the NCAA to control everything other than athletics. It
amazes me how this allowed. They control the sports, the
athletes, the family of the athletes, and everyone else
involved. This has to end. You can't penalize an athlete for
comments done on twitter.

Personally, I think that Twitter, Facebook, etc is just a
minefield for kids at this point.
I saw his comment, and it wasn't atrocious. It was just a dumb
thing to say. The NCAA has shown that they do not tolerate this
kind of thing (just ask Spadola of Lehigh).
I would not mind one bit if SBU told their athletes "No Twitter,
No Facebook".

Twitter abuse is what got former SBU running back Conte Cuttino
kicked off his CFL team last year. Even the pros enforce it.

Its not the NCAA business to control what Athletes say on their
own time. Seriously? That should be left to the team to decide.
The NCAA wants to control every aspect of the athletes life.
That is not right. I would rather see Stony Brook suspending him
that the NCAA doing that. C'mon guys?
Am I the only that thinks the NCAA is too damn powerful?

Is it a one game suspension or is he suspended for the FCS
playoffs in their entirety?

one game. Its still wrong in my opinion. This "twitter"
decisions should be left to the school, not the NCAA. There were
not violations there... oh well...

You can't let the school decide, because they will take care of
themselves.
Look at what happened with Dickenson of Binghamton. He
blatantly punched a kid in the face unprovoked (his second
insanely dirty play that week, so it wasn't an isolated
incident). The "punishment" the school handed down was that he
was benched the next game. For a total of 2 minutes and 18
seconds. And that was a game between the two worst teams in one
of the weakest basketball conferences.

Jaghatai. There is a big difference between on-the-field
violations and something said on twitter. On-field violations,
unfair recruiting tactics, etc all involve the NCAA. A twitter
comment made by a player as an individual shouldn't be regulated
by the NCAA directly, it should be handled by the school...
