Jeff Jacobs: NCAA investigating UConn men

[jibsey]

North Carolina had nearly 20 years of keeping players eligible in their bogus courses as they won national titles with them. They don’t lose a scolly and no one misses a beat?

Chief on Sunday.

Is so. This is what we’ve come to? Unobtrusive backhanded dealings to set up a false narrative so a cause for contract denial can be considered. Is that not in itself a reason to be removed from ones position? It makes a bad situation exponentially more embarrassing.

 

[UCweCONN]

We violated with the wrong players. Go big or go home. This is a good thing. "This is what happens when you ban us." National championship, here we come!

 

[huskiesnyc]

Worst timing ever per usual with UConn. If Ollie leaves this program with sanctions or the investigation still looming this job just got a hell of a lot less appealing. It’s hard to put into words how much damage he’s done to the program the past 4 years.

 

[Purple Stein]

Bette Davis gets it.

 

[Huskybass]

Chief on Sunday.

Does Chief have any Head Coach eligibility left?

 

[djct1999]

This has to be Sid Wilson and spear headed by a petty St. Johns.

 

[BaZZnBOAT]

im guessing Vance Jackson.

 

[upstater]

That’s the dream scenario. But if we committed even the most minuscule infraction. Mark Emmert and the NCAA are going to screw us into obscurity. Firing Ollie in that scenario won’t save us

Stuns me that some posters here are giddy

I can't wait for the day I wake up to the news that the NCAA is being investigated.

 

[Chief00]

Interesting the parallel between losing on the Sid waiver and this latest complaint. Basically, the NCAA said he did attend real classes at St John’s this summer. That opens us up to tampering in theory.
Of course, the frustration is his SJU classes resembled the classes at UNC but the NCAA can’t care about that anymore after letting UNC off.
Of course, for the back to the Big East crowd - we definitely have another no UConn vote in addition to Georgetown.

I don’t think it’s quite so cynical, perhaps just taking advantage of a bad situation.

The hell with it all. UConn has been forced on this island and I for one hope they go after it all. Attack the model. Attack the institution. Stop playing defense. We have sued before, lets sue again. Take this to Washington. Time to put in an end to the monopoly of the P5 and the fraud that is the NCAA. This model will one day blow up. Why not now? Why not UConn.

 

[AdamaNation]

What if it involves an employee who isn't even at UConn anymore. With all said about Ollie on the recruiting trail that would make sense.

What if this has to do with jc’s quick exit?

Yeah the state has the budget for that

 

[KodiacKemba]

You people rooting for our demise is so disappointing idc if you hate Ollie .. (the NCAA needs to first investigate themselves) and then look at other programs like Cal, Western Kentucky, Kentucky, Duke, Missouri, Georgia, MSU, Alabama, I can go on and on ... Jacobs is one scandalous guy, knowing he been had this news waited to have everybody happy bout a win then BOOM.. what a 2 time crook

 

[Tex-Lager93]

Meanwhile - Louisville, Auburn, USC and Ok State continue playing despite blatant pay to play schemes. Such BS.

 

[djct1999]

Dude, you are exhausting. So sit idle and stay the bitch. Sometimes you need to fight at all costs.

Jacobs isn’t under investigation, Uconn is.

He’s doing what he’s paid to do.

 

[jibsey]

How long until we know what this is about?

 

[firstnline]

North Carolina-- Hugs and kisses
Louisville--Hugs and kisses
Michigan State-Hugs and kisses
UConn-Death by hanging

 

[CTBasketball]

We should definitely fight the model, but I don’t think Herbst and ADBD would tarnish their reputations. It’s a losing battle if one school goes up against them solo.

Exausting?

Lol you think UConn is going to sue the NCAA!

 

[husky99]

Not sure the whole story yet. But the is hitting the fan for Ollie is the word i hear. He may not be directly involved but this is the out they are looking for

 

[Paesano]

Dan Hurley would love to move to a job where he’s ineligible for postseason play his first season. Totally.

So we should keep Ollie then? Is that really what you are implying?
