Doing Hard Time

In 1994, Cal basketball coach Todd Bozeman agreed to pay the parents of recruit Jelani Gardner $15,000 a year to have their son play for the Golden Bears. Since being forced to resign a year ago Bozeman hasn't found full-time work, and last week the NCAA hit him with an eight-year "show-cause" penalty, meaning he must get the approval of the organization's committee on infractions before he can take any athletics-related job at a member school between now and 2005. Bozeman's was the fourth-longest show-cause ever meted out. Here are the top three; none of the disciplined has since worked at an NCAA school.
