Caltech NCAA Demotivational Poster
Here is my first attempt at a demotivational poster in "recognition" of Caltech's NCAA rules violation.
(Thanks to Greg Fricke, Janet Sheung, and Michael Woods for inspiration.)
Update: Here is a slightly revised version that I like better.
Update (7/15/12): Predrag Cvitanovic has alerted me to a New York Times article on Caltech's sanctions. That article notes that no ineligible players were used in the streak-breaking basketball game. Hence, this demotivational poster is misleading. I might have to come up with a different take on this whole thing. :)
Update (7/17/12): Nimish Telang has alerted me to this opinion piece in the New York Times (which, by the way, gets it exactly right).
