[CBallfan]

Gee, do you think he will come out breathing fire tomorrow?

Yes i do!

 

[CBallfan]

Has he been practicing with the team all this time?

Yes he has!

 

[shakes65]

This better be the end of it.

 

[OkaForPrez]

Boat is going off tomorrow.

 

[Rico444]

So does he have three games in the suspension bank? What should he do to use them? A trip to Buckland for some "discounted" boots? Punch Emmert in the face?

Fixed.

You don't know what you're talking about. It's not like he had a big game the last time he came back from an NCAA investigation!

Well that may take some of the steam out of those who are angry at the NCAA.

I wonder who was paying the bills, and if it's part of a wider investigation.

I know. Gee, I wonder if maybe a school under NCAA penalties for major violations should, I don't know, NOT try and stir with the NCAA.

Seems to paint the situation in a bit worse light than many of us though. All we've ever been told was that it was for plane tickets for his mother to watch him play. Of course, that is the NCAA's release to make themselves look good over the additional "suspension".

Regardless, I'm glad it's finally over.

 

[UCweCONN]

I deleted a post I just made bashing the NCAA after reading the previous link. UCONN needs to be VERY careful with the recruits we bring in. We are lucky this was caught. Imagine if we won a championship and this came out later?

You mean like Auburn? They sure got crushed by his dad taking $180K.

Cam didn't know his father was pimping him out. Hahahaha.

I said if WE won a championship, not Auburn....Auburn isn't on the NCAA sh$% list...

The NCAA link is still a bit incomplete but better than the NYT's article.

So:

• The 6 game suspension was for $4,500 which included:

1. Travel expenses for 4 official visits with Ryan (WVU, UNLV, UConn and Providence?)
2. $1,200 to Mrs. Boatright for something (car payments?)
3. Travel expenses (hotel, meal and training) for Ryan to Cali

So that makes sense, but what was the travel to Cali for and who are the two impermissible sources. I would bet it was AAU related. I assume one impermissible source is Reggie Rose and none are related to any of the colleges. So that's $4500-$1200 = $3,300 for 5 trips or about $660 a trip.

• Then you have another $3500 dollars: This was for car payments

I guess this shows that Mrs. Boatright received this money from before Ryan was at UConn until sometime when Ryan was enrolled at UConn. Considering the initial allegations were in October, I think it would be fair to assume that she was receiving money for car payments before that in August/September unless she was really desperate or...

Considering the NCAA's stance it def. appears UConn had nothing to do with it at least and followed the steps needed in this case, though Boatright could have played the past three games. It also appears the NCAA doesn't believe Ryan knew about the arrangements dealing with his mother. It also appears the NCAA is more interested in Reggie Rose or the other person not known/named.

In some ways this is actually similar to Cam Newton. The NCAA is confirming Ryan knew nothing/little about what was going on aside from the trip to Cali.

 

[Scoe]

now can the NCAA leave us the alone especially Boatright

 

[hoopsknowitall]

Well that may take some of the steam out of those who are angry at the NCAA.

If you don't think that the timeline of what occurred to Boatright wasn't done by the NCAA to turn up the heat on Boatright to get him to sing and rat out who they are really going after you just aren't paying attention.

I'm still pissed at the NCAA.

Still no idea who these 'sources' are. Referring to them anonymously is an easy way to make it sound nefarious. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. Can't say I can blame a woman for providing for/taking interest in her children's lives even if it's against the NCAA rules.
