Bruce Pearl may as well have "Damaged Goods" stamped on his forehead for all the luck the former Tennessee coach is going to have finding a new job.
Jim Calhoun won't be on hand when defending national champion Connecticut opens the Big East season, serving a three-game suspension instead.
For a second straight year, USC is playing for nothing more than pride.
And Ohio State didn't even bother waiting for the NCAA to pass judgment, shoving Jim Tressel out the door in hopes of sparing the school further punishment.
Fear might be the best weapon the NCAA has in what is largely an uphill fight against cheating, lying and corruption. Intentional or not, the NCAA has been embarrassing some of college sports' biggest names recently and the consequences ought to scare everybody straight. Success, reputation, wealth — they're no protection once a school winds up under the NCAA's microscope these days.
"There's a lot of attention currently because there's a lot of the high-profile programs that seem to be in trouble," said Jerry Parkinson, a law professor at the University of Wyoming and a former member of the NCAA's Committee on Infractions.
"It takes a confluence of events like this to get people's attention — and that's not a bad thing at all."
Search the NCAA database of major infractions, and you'll find hundreds of cases dating back to 1953. There are more than 60 in the last 2½ years alone, at least a dozen of which have either wiped out records or made it all but impossible for misbehaving coaches to find work.
Yet most of the cases generate few headlines because they occur at small schools or in sports that don't command TV contracts worth billions. Even cases involving high-profile schools can usually be dismissed as isolated incidents, the failures of an individual coach or athletic department.
When there's a rash of violations at marquee schools, however, and serious ones at that, it creates an air of lawlessness that tarnishes all of college athletics.
"It's systemic, and the NCAA is having a harder time saying it's just a few rotten apples," said Murray Sperber, a visiting professor at the University of California, Berkeley, and longtime critic of commercialization in college sports. "Because to the casual public, it seems like there are more and more scandals. I would dispute that, but the NCAA has to deal with the perception."
Perhaps the governing body's need get control of college sports explains some of the developments in the past 15 months:
Pearl was given a three-year show-cause penalty (making it tough to hire him) for lying to NCAA investigators and Tennessee was placed on two years' probation.
Two months before Connecticut won its third NCAA men's basketball title, Calhoun was suspended for the first three games of this year's Big East season for recruiting violations, and the Huskies were hit with scholarship reductions, recruiting restrictions and three years probation.
Auburn and Oregon, the national champion and runner-up in football, each became the subjects of investigation.
West Virginia (two years) and Michigan (three) each were put on probation for football rules violations.
USC was given a two-year bowl ban and four years probation, and its scholarships were severely limited. The Trojans also were stripped of their 2004 national title by the BCS.
Ohio State is awaiting the NCAA's decision on penalties involving football players who traded memorabilia for cash with the subject of a federal drug-trafficking probe.
And in what could be the biggest embarrassment for college sports since SMU received the "death penalty," shutting down a sports program for a season or more, the NCAA is investigating claims by a former University of Miami booster and convicted Ponzi scheme artist that he provided Hurricanes players with cash, prostitutes, cars and other gifts from 2002 to 2010, and that several coaches knew and even participated as improper benefits were handed out.
"There's no question it's at a crossroads, and I've been saying that for a long time," NCAA president Mark Emmert said last month. "That's why we need to act and why we need to act quickly. But again, I think, it's a case of all the great things in college sports being overshadowed by these high-profile infractions cases, and that's something we have to fix."
But how?
Critics have long dismissed the NCAA enforcement process as ineffective, blaming its reactionary nature and lack of impartiality. The NCAA doesn't have its own detective bureau, relying on schools to report themselves or for others, most often the media, to provide information on wrongdoing.
Once the enforcement staff determines possible violations, the case is forwarded to the Committee on Infractions, which includes seven representatives from member schools and conferences as well as three members of the public. The committee makes the final determination on violations, including what the penalties should be.
"Obviously the NCAA is very stretched trying to manage all this," said former U.S. Congressman Tom McMillen, who led Maryland to the 1972 NIT title and has been a longtime critic of the NCAA enforcement process. "Clearly, we need some more independence, we need some tougher penalties directly on the perpetrators. But ultimately, it's a finger in the dike."
There's so much money at stake, McMillen said, and the incentives to cheat currently outweigh the punishments.
"The system needs revolutionary change," he said. "I don't think there's a stomach for it until there's major crisis. ... You need to have a tipping point and we're not at a tipping point."
It may be close, however.
NCAA leaders signaled at last month's presidential retreat that they were ready to adopt harsher penalties for the worst offenders — something infractions committee members recommended back in 2008. Among the possibilities are making greater use of postseason and TV bans, punishments that were the norm in the 1980s but have become rarities over the past decade.
Emmert even said the "death penalty," only used that one time against SMU, is still a possibility in the most egregious cases.
"If there was a general theme ... it was, 'Let's strengthen penalties and get the attention of people,'" said Parkinson, who chaired the subcommittee that made the recommendations.
"But there's not going to be a huge movement until that message is sent from the membership and leadership of the NCAA," Parkinson said. "If the message comes up from the membership to the Committee on Infractions that they've got to toughen up and there's a clear signal, the committee will do that."
In the meantime, if the pain and humiliation being felt at elite schools like USC, Ohio State and Tennessee keep everyone else on their best behavior, well, that won't be the worst thing in the world.

BRIGHT IDEAS: Charlie Le Mindu's spring-summer 2014 "haute coiffeur" collection popped with phosphorescent colors. He sent 13 otherworldly and fluorescent creations down a darkened catwalk. One hairstyle resembled a massive jellyfish — with a gray-purple top and greenish tentacles covering a model's face. Another resembled big orange petals springing from a head.
It took months of work in the dark with black lighting to create the colors. For the looks, Le Mindu used extensions from Hairdreams.
His collection was presented at DS World Paris, a new showcase for Citroën's DS cars located at 33 Rue François 1er. An exhibition of Le Mindu's works is on there through March 20.

Ministers from the regional political bloc, Ecowas (Economic Community of West African States), led by Cheik Tidiane Gadio, the Senegalese foreign minister, were also meeting with Guinea-Bissau officials.
Schools, ministries and businesses, meanwhile, reopened in the capital, Bissau, on Tuesday after soldiers largely withdrew from the streets.
Severe beating
Vieira was killed by members of the army while fleeing his presidential home, hours after a bomb killed Tagme Na Waie, the army chief.
"He was savagely beaten before being finished off with several bullets"
Doctor who carried out autopsy on Vieira
Vieira, who had endured tense relations with the military, had escaped a previous attempt on his life last November.
The doctor who carried out an autopsy on Vieira's body said the head of state was savagely beaten before being shot several times in the throat and face.
"The president was hit by several bullets in the thorax and face and his body shows the marks of violent blows.
"He was savagely beaten before being finished off with several bullets," the doctor said.
Probe demanded
Guinea-Bissau has a history of coups and has become a notorious transit point for the cocaine trade between South America and Europe, raising the stakes in long-running power feuds between political and military leaders.
According to the AU's statutes, member states should be suspended in the event of an unconstitutional power change, as were Mauritania and Guinea Conakry following coups last year.
Details have started to emerge about the military assault on the president's home on Monday.
A soldier, who said he took part in the operation, said the troops who killed the president left Mansoa barracks, 60km north of Bissau, late on Sunday, to "liquidate President Vieira".
He said they left Mansoa shortly after the announcement of the death of the armed forces chief of staff.
Before reaching the president, the unit forced the release of seven soldiers from a police station in the capital, where they had been held since the November 24 attack on Vieira's residence, in which two of his guards were killed.
Relations between the president and Na Waie had reportedly deteriorated drastically after that attack.

Ariel Schalit, Associated Press
Last Sunday, there was at least one Congressman on TV bellowing about the need to stop Hamas from importing rockets from Iran — in order to keep the peace in Gaza.
Well, here's a novel idea: Why not disarm Israel instead?
Every missile and bomb used by the Israelis to kill Gazans had USA stamped all over it.
Also, there was an Associated Press story about a leaked diagram out of Iran's nuclear community that showed a computer simulation about what an atom bomb could do.
But let me remind everyone that Israel already has a boatload of atom bombs, and we Americans gave them the first shipment of material to make them with — smuggled right out of this country in nine lead-lined diplomatic pouches back in 1955.
Also, I'm about 100 percent sure that this story has it's origins in the propaganda arm of Mossad, Israel's CIA.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
The Teacher
by Paul on 10/19/06 at 03:07 PM ET
Comments (0)
Before he was the "Finnish Flash," Teemu Selanne was a school teacher who dreamed of playing professional hockey. In this edition of Facing Off, one of the NHL's craftiest snipers tells David Amber why he's not a threat to Brad Pitt's sexiest man alive title, where he came up with the nickname for best friend Paul Kariya and how he ruined his twin brother's hockey career. Question from David Amber: Before you came to the NHL, you taught kindergarten for three years. How did that happen? Answer from Teemu Selanne: When I started with the Army Service in Finland, I didn't want to start studying for a little while. So I thought it was a good idea to start working in the kindergarten. It was a fun time. We played all sorts of games. I wasn't a tough teacher. I tried to be a fun teacher.continued

Ubuntu 16.04 vs. vs. Clear Linux vs. openSUSE vs. Scientific Linux 7
Here are some extra Linux distribution benchmarks for your viewing pleasure this weekend. Following the release of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS last week, I was running another fresh performance comparison of various Linux distributions on my powerful Xeon E3-1270 v5 Skylake system. I made it a few Linux distributions in before the motherboard faced an untimely death. Not sure of the cause yet, but the motherboard is kaput and thus the testing was ended prematurely.

The unwelcome John Daly put on a proper professional golfer's persona at Woodlands golf club on Monday in his first public appearance since disgracing himself at last week's Australian Open.
Daly, who committed one of his worst breaches of golf etiquette when he walked off the course during the first round of the Australian Open at The Lakes in Sydney, behaved perfectly in a charity pro-am at Woodlands Golf Club in Melbourne.
Daly's Open walk-out prompted tournament director Trevor Herden to declare him unwelcome at future events in Australia.
But his playing partner on Monday and event sponsor Alan Eskander described the flamboyant American as "a fabulous bloke and a delight to be with" after a round in which Daly thoroughly justified his modest appearance fee.
However, it may be a while before he plays competitive golf again.
Daly's performance in Sydney has prompted golf officials to investigate the issue with Daly facing a possible fine and a ban from the game.
While he has expressed regret at his Sydney antics, Daly said he had no choice after running out of golf balls after hitting six consecutive shots into the water during the first round.
Before starting his pro-am round, local professional Jarrod Lyle offered Daly a box of golf balls, setting the tone for a light-hearted round.
The PGA of Australia has already banned Daly from playing in this month's PGA Championship at Coolum, a move Daly said he couldn't disagree with.
"I wouldn't have me there either," he said on Monday.
The one-time big drinker, who has been on the wagon for more than a year, polished off a six pack of Diet Coke during Monday's round, admitting he had also developed an addiction for the soft drink.
"I made the decision to stop drinking on my own," he said.
"If I went to AA meetings they'd make me drink even more."
Daly delighted the small Woodlands gallery, producing his driver on one of the tightest courses in Melbourne and continually knocking the ball 300m.
He returned a one-over par 73.
Daly is scheduled to play another charity event at nearby Victoria Golf Club on Wednesday.

Jennifer Garner cuts a boho-chic figure in NYC after admitting husband Ben Affleck has already taught their son about his 'P'
Ben Affleck is about to play the ultimate superhero in the upcoming Superman Vs. Batman.
But according to his wife Jennifer Garner, this superhero's 'functional' parenting skills leave a lot to be desired.
The 41-year-old Dallas Buyers Club star cut a stunning boho-chic figure on Thursday during her New York City stroll, the morning after she said her husband has already taught their son Samuel, aged two, 'about his P' and his two 'N's' during her stint on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Scroll down for video...
Trendy mama: Jennifer Garner was pictured wandering around NYC on Thursday looking casually chic in cool ankle boots and a floppy hat
It looked to have been a fun and stylish couple of days for Jennifer, who spent Thursday making her way around the Big Apple looking especially tidy after a few days appearing on talk shows to promote her latest movie, Draft Day.
With a large floppy hat, brown suede ankle boots and a glamorous black handbag, the actress and mother was a picture of class and country combined as she pounded the pavement.
She was only one day away from flying back to Los Angeles after a promotional chat with Jimmy Fallon on the Wednesday evening prior.
In good spirits: The star showed off her long, slim pins in skinny jeans on the New York City stroll
Jennifer looked elegant in an all-black pants suit on the set of the popular talk show, featuring a chic, form-fitting blazer embellished with gold zippers.
Her long brunette tresses were swept into a flattering side part and she wore an incessant smile on her face as she chatted in an animated fashion with the show's host.
The conversation very quickly turned to her husband Ben's parenting skills after Jimmy enquired as to his well being.
'He taught Samuel about his P' and his two 'N's!' Jennifer Garner appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday night where she revealed husband Ben Affleck's parenting skills
'Benjamin is good, he's great,' Jennifer said. 'I get home Friday and he leaves that day for Batman.'
know, it's going to be awful,' she said of the difficulty of their
travel-based careers, 'because he's been home now for a few months and
when he's really home, he's so in dad mode and I think he's going to
have a hard time.'
But when the funnyman host asked whether that meant that Ben plays 'Mr. Mum', the Elektra star laughingly expressed that this was not necessarily the case.
'We are very divided down the mum-dad line!' The 41-year-old actress and mother-of-three spoke of which duties she takes on and which ones Ben picks up
Jennifer went on to divulge details of how the Argo actor/director - who is 'psyched to finally have a little boy' - deals with their son Samuel.
'He LOVES his girls, but he's serious about his son right now,' she said. 'So, he taught him about his bits.'
'He taught him about his 'P' and his two 'N's,' Jennifer revealed, leaving Jimmy and the audience in hysterics.
'Anything fun, that is Ben!' The Dallas Buyers Club star explained that her husband doesn't tend to involve himself in the day-to-day parenting but is great at the fun stuff
And it seems Ben's eagerness to educate his young son has had a ripple effect when the family is out in public, with the little one keen to put his new knowledge to practical use.
'Now anytime we pass a dog who's walking on the street or we're at a zoo or something,' Jennifer laughed, 'our poor little son is crouching down and looking up and he's like, "Mama, does that have a vagina or a penis and two nuts?"
'We are divided down a very mom-dad [line],' Jennifer revealed, referencing their three children Violet, eight, Seraphina, five, and Samuel, two.

Starting his public farewell to his flock, a weary Pope Benedict XVI celebrated his final public mass as pontiff, presiding over Ash Wednesday services hours after a bittersweet audience that produced the extraordinary scene of the pope explaining his decision to step down directly to the faithful.
The mood inside St Peter's Basilica was sombre during the mass, as if the weight of Benedict's decision and the finality of his pontificate had finally registered with the thousands of faithful present. But the basilica erupted in a rousing, minutes-long standing ovation as Benedict exited for the last time as pope, bringing tears to the eyes of some of his closest collaborators.
"We wouldn't be sincere, Your Holiness, if we didn't tell you that there's a veil of sadness on our hearts this evening," Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, Benedict's long-time deputy, told the pope at the end of the service, his voice breaking.
"Thank you for having given us the luminous example of the simple and humble worker in the vineyard of the Lord," Bertone said, quoting Benedict's own words when he first appeared on the loggia overlooking St. Peter's Square after he was elected pope.
"Viva il papa!" the crowd yelled as Benedict stepped off the altar.
Ash Wednesday marks the start of Lent, the most solemn season on the church's liturgical calendar that ends with Holy Week, when the faithful commemorate the death of Christ and his resurrection on Easter Sunday. By this Easter, on March 31, the church will likely have a new pope.
The scene was festive earlier in the day, when Benedict took the extraordinary step of speaking directly to his flock about why he had broken with 600 years of tradition and decided to retire on February 28.
"As you know, I have decided to renounce the ministry that the Lord gave to me on April 19, 2005," Benedict said, to warm applause. "I did this in full liberty for the good of the church."
He thanked the faithful for their prayers and love, which he said he had "physically felt in these days that haven't been easy for me". And he asked them to "to continue to pray for me, the church, and the future pope".
Benedict looked tired but serene as he basked in a standing ovation when he entered the packed hall for his traditional Wednesday catechism lesson. His speech was interrupted repeatedly by applause, and many in the audience of thousands had tears in their eyes.
A huge banner reading "Grazie Santita" (Thank you Your Holiness) was strung up at the back of the room and a chorus of Italian schoolchildren serenaded him with one of his favorite hymns in German - a gesture that won over the pope, who thanked them for singing a piece "particularly dear to me".
He appeared wan and spoke very softly, but his eyes twinkled at the flock's welcome - warm and heartfelt if somewhat bittersweet.
"He gave us eight wonderful years of his words," said Ileana Sviben, an Italian from the northern city of Trieste who couldn't hide her sadness. "He was a wonderful theologian and pastor."
The Reverend Reinaldo Braga Jr, a Brazilian priest studying theology in Rome, said he, too, was saddened when he first heard the news.
"The atmosphere was funereal but nobody had died," he said. "But then I realised it was a wise act for the entire church. He taught the church and the world that the papacy is not about power but about service."
It was a sentiment the retiring Benedict himself emphasised when he told his flock that the "path of power is not the road of God".
Benedict is the first pope to resign in about 700 years, and the decision has placed the Vatican in uncharted waters: No one knows what he'll be called or even what he'll wear after February 28.
The Vatican, however, revealed some details of his final day as pope, saying he would attend a morning farewell ceremony with his cardinals and then fly off by helicopter at 5pm to the papal summer retreat at Castel Gandolfo.
Under that timetable, Benedict will be far from the Vatican when he ceases being pope at 8pm - a deadline decided by Benedict himself because that's when his normal workday ends.
Vatican spokesman the Reverend Federico Lombardi said no formal or symbolic act was needed to make his resignation official at that time, because Benedict has already done all that was required to resign by affirming publicly he had taken the decision freely.
Benedict's final official acts as pope will include audiences with the Romanian and Guatemalan presidents this week and the Italian president on February 23.
Making sure the transition goes smoothly, Benedict made an important appointment Wednesday, naming the No 2 administrator of the Vatican city state, Monsignor Giuseppe Sciacca, as a legal adviser to the camerlengo.
The camerlengo, or chamberlain, helps administer the Vatican bureaucracy in the period between Benedict's resignation and the election of a new pope. The current camerlengo is Bertone, the Vatican secretary of state.
He and the dean of the College of Cardinals, his predecessor Cardinal Angelo Sodano, will have a major role in organising the conclave, during which the 117 or so cardinals under the age of 80 will vote on who should succeed Benedict.
The Vatican has made clear that Benedict will play no role in the election of his successor, and once retired, he will be fully retired. He plans to live a life of prayer in a converted monastery on the far northern edge of the Vatican gardens.
But his continued physical presence within the Vatican walls has raised questions about how removed he really will be from the life of the church. Lombardi acknowledged that Benedict would still be able to see his friends and colleagues.
"I think the successor and also the cardinals will be very happy to have very nearby a person that best of all can understand what the spiritual needs of the church are," Lombardi said.
Benedict is expected, however, to keep a low public profile.
As a result, Benedict's final public appearances - his last general audience will be February 27 - are expected to draw great crowds, as they may well represent some of the last public speeches for a man who has spent his life - as a priest, a cardinal and a pope - teaching and preaching.
And they will also give the faithful a way to say farewell under happier circumstances than when his predecessor, Pope John Paul II, died in 2005.

HONG KONG and KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, April 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The automotive aftermarket sector in the 3 largest ASEAN markets - Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia - is positioned for high growth as millions of new vehicles enter the market, predicts Frost & Sullivan.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www.automotive.frost.com) Strategic Analysis of ASEAN Automotive Aftermarket finds that the aftermarket parts market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.9 per cent (2010-2018).
Ms. Silka Yosa, Consulting Analyst, Automotive Practice, Asia Pacific at Frost & Sullivan predicts wiper blades to be one of the fastest growing segments in the automotive aftermarket sector due to the short life-span of the product. She said that wiper blades' replacement in ASEAN 3 could grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.2 per cent to reach US$243.5 million in 2018.
"The growth rates for products such as wipers, clutches, compressors, filters and brakes are expected to be high, in the region of 13 per cent annually for the next 5-7 years, due to the boom in ASEAN vehicle sales," she added.
However, components such as starters, alternators, radiators and fans are expected to have a lower growth rate as their sales only peak when the vehicle reaches 8-12 years old, she said.
Ms. Yosa also said that it is common for vehicle owners to return to their respective authorized service centers for servicing and maintenance procedures due to warranty obligations in the first few years of ownership.
"However, when a vehicle has exceeded its factory warranty period, most people take it to an unauthorized service workshop for routine maintenance because of the workshop's lower pricing and usually better proximity," Ms. Yosa said.
She also said that performance chemicals such as fuel or oil treatment additives are used to restore engine performance, provide cleaner injectors, improve fuel efficiency, and overall engine protection.
However, ASEAN vehicle owners are generally skeptical about using such products unless they are endorsed or recommended by OEMs or service centers, Ms. Yosa said.
She added that most vehicle owners rely on recommendations by dealers and/or service centers for replacement of vehicle parts/components.
"Vehicles under manufacturer warranty are bound by replacement of only original, approved parts. Consumers not bound by warranties generally opt for aftermarket parts due to pricing, but still consider factors such as brand, quality, and warranty when making a choice," she added.
She also said that remanufacturers are successfully penetrating the ASEAN aftermarket, with recycled auto parts such as starters and alternators. "Sales of vehicle accessories such as in-dash navigation, electronics, and high-performance upgrades show strong growth among young driving population," she added.

LSP: Woman tried to have DWI evidence destroyed
BATON ROUGE - State Police arrested a 23-year-old woman after she allegedly called the State Police Crime Lab and tried to have evidence destroyed in a case against her.
Investigators said Jana Pourciau called the crime lab from her cell phone and posed as an employee of the 18th Judicial District Court. According to detectives, Pourciau told crime lab employees to destroy a toxicology report, where a blood sample was taken from her following a wreck on April 12. State Police said she also sent an email to the crime lab from her personal account.
Troopers arrested Pourciau on charges of DWI for the crash. Crash investigators said she lost control of her car and drove through an elementary school's fence in Point Coupee Parish near Highway 977.
Pourciau faces charges of False Personation and Forgery for her alleged call and email to the crime lab.
