Ringler: SMU penalty does not fit the crime

When SMU men’s golf coach Josh Gregory stepped down in August 2014 in the wake of reputed NCAA rules violations, all expected some sort of penalties to be handed down to SMU by the NCAA.

The NCAA announced those penalties on Tuesday, issuing sanctions to the SMU men’s golf team, as well as the Mustangs men's basketball program.

One of those penalties – and the most severe – was a 2016 postseason ban for the men’s golf team.

“The program is disappointed by the news," SMU coach Jason Enloe told Golfweek.

Disappointed is one word.
