Doesn't look good for him/the program

 

[jleves]

Not that it hasn't been said over and over and everybody knows but -

We so have to get out of this conference.

 

[champs99and04]

Never does the NCAA's muscle illuminate like when they have the chance to punish a mid-major.

 

[Fishy]

Ironically, we could go to the ACC and actually find a slimier bunch of cats.

 

[superjohn]

I'm gonna guess this is minor but the NCAA will hammer Brown and SMU. For a legend Larry Brown has always gotten very little love from the powers that be, couple that with him coaching at SMU and it's bad news.

 

[amory]

Punishment will be swift and just, and severe, for the G5 school I'm sure.

duckk the NCAA.

 

[Fishy]

The G5 whining is stupid.

This is Larry Brown. He's now a three-time loser and deserves to get smoked.

The guy doesn't know what a rule book is. He got Kansas barred from the 1989 tournament and left both KU and UCLA on probation.

(UCLA was going on probation no matter what, but about half of the violations they were pegged with happened in Brown's short tenure.)

Larry deserves what he gets for his lack of control while Roy Williams gets a new multi year contract for his lack of control - go figure?

 

[champs99and04]

If Larry Brown is cheating, he isn't doing it very well. He's winning over there by taking spare parts and coaching them up. Of the two kids he did get (Mudiay and Frazier), one wasn't going to make it through the clearing house and the other got banned for grades.

Given what has gone on at UNC, the NCAA ought to leave this one alone.

Bullspit. No major program would get so much as a whiff from the NCAA for doing what Brown is doing at SMU.

Excuse my ignorance, but how is UNC not being slapped with "lack of *******control" charges?

They are, last I saw.

I think UNC deserves a death penalty, but I think the simple fact that they are not currently on probation means their punishment will be less significant.

As unfair and ridiculous as it is, to think the NCAA would every give a team like UNC the death penalty is just idiotic. Being one of the most historic and successful programs ever, they would never pose the risk of losing a fan base and a program as prominent as UNC. In the mean time we will make an example of teams that reach the sweet sixteen once every 10 years.

Didn't realize the history. Eerily similar to the history of the coach at Kentucky.

Assisting a "student-athlete" with coursework is far less egregious than "student-athlete's" at UNC having no coursework at all. Both are wrong, but the NCAA should be more concerned about athletes at UNC never stepping in a classroom than they should be about someone doing Frazier's homework....time will tell if the NCAA agrees.

If he had coached at UNC, they might have made him Pope!

The university has been going out of their way to use the term "Academic Fraud" instead of "impermissible benefits"

 

[Jaker]

His cheating started at KU, they should probably vacate that title.

Too bad they can't use the North Carolina defense. I think it goes,"we're North Carolina." Then the NCAA less through all sorts of contortions to avoid doing anything.

Also got a solid chuckle out of the fact that the NCAA is going after the Golf team.

Didn't Cal learn at Brown's knee?

Emmert has decided that if he can put 100# of hurt on the AAC, 10# of it will filter down to UConn, and that gives him a woody.
