Yes.  From Rome's playbook: 

JACKSONVILLE —

The NCAA has cited the head football coach at Illinois College for unethical conduct and put the school on three years of probation.

The NCAA said Friday that the small liberal arts college in central Illinois also will suffer recruiting restrictions. The NCAA Division III Committee on Infractions cited the football coach for providing false information and said the head coach and two other coaches "failed to establish an atmosphere for compliance" in football, men's and women's swimming and men's golf.

NCAA officials say the three coaches sent 515 impermissible text messages to 81 prospective student-athletes from 2008 through 2011.

Illinois College has about 1,000 students and is located in Jacksonville, about 35 miles west of Springfield. Telephone and email messages seeking comment from the college weren't immediately returned.

The Blueboys are the preseason pick to win the MWC FB title, so perhaps cheating works. At least until you are caught. Well at least until you are caught, if you are not John Calipari.

Should've sent a text.  Rimshot!   :)

Kidding aside, there's no postseason or conference championship ban here, right?

That's correct.  The NCAA and MWC's rulings should have little to no impact on the current players and upcoming season.

I posted a more in-depth preview a few pages back, but now that we are one week away from the season, it's time to make final conference predictions:

Carroll 8-1 (9-1)
Illinois College 8-1 (9-1)
Monmouth 8-1 (8-2)
St. Norbert 7-2 (7-3)
Lake Forest 6-3 (7-3)
Ripon 4-5 (4-6)
Cornell 3-6 (3-7)
Lawrence 3-6 (3-7)
Grinnell 2-7 (3-7)
Knox 1-8 (2-8)
Beloit 0-9 (0-10)

I really think Carroll is going to make a run at the title.  They should have the team and the schedule to be right there.  I think there are questions surrounding St. Norbert's offense, but they could make it a tight, 4 team race, IMO.

Will be making the drive to Jacksonville for Saturday's titanic struggle between the Panthers and Blueboys.

Can any IC fans fill us in on tailgating/parking arrangements, and any other pertinent game day details?

Looking forward to seeing this game. Hanover has a new HC, OC, DC, and it will be interesting to see how we match up against a 2011 playoff team.

Yes, sir, you and The Roop have thus far posted only rumors. If you are getting this from a website or newspaper, post a link. If you have a source, name him or her. Otherwise, all I see are unsubstantiated personal attacks making you come off as a bitter loser.

Guess it's not only rumors anymore.

I'd love to give this a "Not so fast, my friend!" but am not sure.  One would think there would be something fairly punitive in IC's future.

Didn't the NCAA and MWC just announce their penalties?  From where would these punitive measures come?  This is a serious question; is there any other body that can levy a penalty?

The Hells Angels have a saying.  "Three can keep a secret if two are dead".  I guess the IC coach was never a biker gang prospect. 

Spring practices/classes?  No test, only credits?  Manditory?  And it wasn't gonna get out?

Texting like a 12 year old girl to all the recruits?

What an amateur!  Hope he spends the next 20 years in a factory.  Not that factory work is bad, but they don't cheer for you when you show up on Saturdays for the forced overtime.

The bad thing of this, all the players there.  They will carry his cross.......

Did IC get busted for illegal spring practices too?  All I saw in the press release was punishment for text messaging.  Guess you did have the real scoop all along, fulbakdad.
