The question to ask is why someone at the FBI or the Justice Department decided to leak this to everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlarry Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Well I guess the good news of the Crews years is that we know he wasn't paying any players. Every program who has been good or had a stud the last few years should be nervous. I'm pretty sure Jolly wasn't getting a bag full of cash or a tractor.

Franchise_08 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Michigan St, Duke, Kansas, Kentucky and Arizona all concluded through their own investigations and found no violations...the players are still eligible. Shocking...most of all, it only took less than 24 hours to find these conclusions. Hope they all burn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do your own "investigation" clear them all and finish off the season. When more stuff comes out later take the punishment and claim ignorance. Maybe you can get a final 4 or championship out of the illegal players. Sure the title might be vacated later but what does that matter?

ARon Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 One of ‘Zona’s recruits for next fall has already decommitted and the other is considering it. The NCAA will have to impose a no-sit transfer rule. How many kids are going to be left in limbo this summer not knowing if their program is about to implode?

cheeseman Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I remember when Quin Snyder came to Missouri and got caught with some recruiting violations his defense was - we did this all the time at Duke I had no idea it was against the rules. So when people talk about how squeaky clean Coach K is don’t believe it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetorch Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I'm taking a lot of joy in this. So much spin going on. ESPN radio talking about it today I'm paraphrasing some college insider says "we all knew Arizona was dirty, getting these top recruits, Arizona isn't a top program, how can they do this except by paying guys." I'm incredulous. Arizona has had the best program out West since the 80s. They dominate the Pac 10, multiple Final fours and championships. They are a top 10 program so why wouldn't they recruit top classes? Arizona has always gotten s*** on, I just thought it was because Lute Olsen was an ass. 25 other schools are named. Why no punishments for them yet? Forget winning the A10 tourney, this is our best chance to get in the NCAAs, get 20 or 30 of these other schools disqualified.

Forget winning the A10 tourney, this is our best chance to get in the NCAAs, get 20 or 30 of these other schools disqualified. Primarily because there is no proof. These are just allegations and/or names on a ledger. In some cases, no proof players were present during some of these meetings/dinners. There is nothing illegal about having dinner with an agent per the NCAA. Heck, there is nothing illegal about receiving up to 200$ for a dinner for a player. By some accounts, some of these payments were for dinners after players were done playing for the year and looking to go pro, or after they had already declared. It will be interesting no doubt to see how it all plays out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheeseman Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 If Sampson and Pearl can keep getting hired why be surprised at Pitino. These schools are so desperate to win that they would hire the Son of Sam if they thought it would get them a winning team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
