| Transcript | WHAT NOW? After effects of NCAA probation L ■et's beat the dead horse one more time. As we've all heard by now, the NCAA slapped the University of Houston with a devastating probation sentence. UH's probation included a two year ban from nationally televised games, and no bowl games. This episode was a bitter pill to swallow for the athletic department. Not one player or coach from the Yeoman era was associated with the program at the time of sentencing. Many predicted dark days ahead. However, Head Coach Jack Pardee and his coaching staff were the eternal optimists in a sea of pessimism. Andre Ware was the player with the most to lose. On the verge of a burgeoning football career, Ware could have transferred to another school. However, Ware remained loyal to UH. During his Heisman campaign, there was much speculation on why Ware couldn't win. Coach John Jenkins commented, "This is so silly. The Heisman is for the best player in college football. It shouldn't matter if the team is on probation or not, especially in this case, when none of the present personnel are guilty." Although, many felt that the probation was unfair, the Cougars rolled on to a phenomenal season. This year was supposed to be the worst of times. It turned out to be the best. -R. Ricardo Sutton.
