I really think that both schools should be done for the year with the offending individuals done forever.

Something needs to be done to assure the right kids are being punished and that the actions are fair to all. I could see either school suspending kids with minimal involvment to avoid suspended kids they need to win games.
Coaches need to be reprimanded. All of them. On both teams. Position coaches, head coaches and coordinators. Coker may be a lame duck anyway. But he needs to be held acountable for the actions of his team.
This event was a black eye to the sport. It cannot be allowed to be duplicated.

I agree with all of this. And if Miami has any contractual ability to relieve Lamar Thomas of his announcer position, they need to do that also.

I never really thought about it but you're right. He looks like he's rotting away. |

I voted other: I vote for the Bugs Bunny punishment . . . for those who remember the cartoon in which Bugs, outraged at there being only a 2 cent bounty on rabbits because they're not considered dangerous, saws off Florida from the U.S. and watches it float away.

My thoughts, exactly.
Death penalty? We are never going to see a big-name team like Miami get the death penalty. Football is too much of a money-maker for some of these teams, and a death-penalty, no matter how deserved it may be, will be responded with lawsuits out the ying-yang.
I think that the schools should suspend the players, accordingly, and, as much as I hate to say it, Lou Holtz showed a lot of class when South Carolina suspended themselves from post-season after their fight with Clemson. That option should get serious consideration by both schools.
If the conferences aren't happy with the way that their respective teams handled the punishments, maybe the ACC can ban Miami from playing in their next ACC championship game (whenever that is), and FIU's conference (whoever they are) can do something similar, or limit the number of home games FIU can have next year.
