I'm not too upset that we were trying to push the envelope.  Better be on our best behavior now since we are under probation.

First sentence - I agree. We desperately need to be pushing the envelope. 
 

Second sentence - this is the unfortunate fallout of the UND institutional fail.

I get the feeling these recruiting violations are happening all over the place at other schools, but they are not self reporting.  Oh well.  I'm not too upset that we were trying to push the envelope.  Better be on our best behavior now since we are under probation.

 

Double secret probation?

This is one way to look at it but I don’t agree with it in its entirety. 

This issue is a matter of perspective, and how UND and UND athletics views football is still an ongoing issue. 

it can improve with new leadership, which UND needs. Thank you Bill Chaves for your efforts, but nothing lasts forever; time to move on to the next step so UND athletics can take the next step COMPETITIVELY compared to other programs 

Having your compliance department knowingly ignore violations, especially when there are external factors that you can't control, is not a characteristic any of the leadership at UND is going to tolerate. Just my opinion from interactions I've had with people in those positions though. Again, I think this is a non-issue if the transcripts never get in front of the compliance department. But they did and here we are.

However, based on today's ruling on Texas Tech's QB, you could probably just sue the NCAA and get everything waived, but that speaks more to what kind of mess things have turned into than anything.
