Whatever way this turns out its a total boning for UCONN. If he is somehow cleared and knowing how fast the NCAA moves it will be games not days, Boatright misses game time experience which will never be recovered which especially kills a young team that needs games playing together more than anything else. If he isn't cleared say goodbye to a player during the middle of a season at a position where UCONN is short of depth .

What a freaking mess.

I don't think RB leaves. His problem is with the NCAA and not UCONN. The problem will follow him wherever he plays. I think RB is happy with the minutes he is getting now.
 
I guess we will have to wait a bit longer for Napier to heal. Boatright should look into legal advice. Where are you BusinessLawyer??
 
Other than the Horde, the rest of the CBB world has yet to weigh in on this situation. I'm curious as to how this will play nationally.

As it stands, the NCAA's timing on this is borderline evil...

Knowing the NCAA (or the whistle blower), I'm surprised they didn't sit on this and release it Selection Sunday.

Maybe the whistleblower was Huggins. He was pissed that he lost to RB on Monday and then called the NCAA to let them know what he knows which is why he signed Hinds even though he already had RB.

It is not Huggins - he is a good guy and friends with Calhoun - such as Calhoun has friends.

1. Until we know something, there is nothing to do but vent. And we don't know anything yet.

2. Unfortunately, a student athlete has almost no rights. I can wish that was different -- I have been clear that government, in my view, should be involved in college athletics -- but calling one's lawyer when the NCAA comes a calling rarely produces results.
 
I hate the situation. I hate the NCAA. I hate the timing of this. But until we know what new information the NCAA is looking at, I'm not going to rush to judgement. Now I hope it turns out to be nothing, at which time I'll be even more pissed. But if it turns out that the NCAA has discovered that RB accepted more benefits not allowed under the NCAA amature guidelines and maybe didn't answered some questions truthfully, then what?

Either way this has a bad outcome, though one would be worse than the other. However this turns out, I hope it doesn't take nearly as long as the last time, especially if it turns out to be false information.

Does anyone know what the rules are with this sort of thing in terms of vacating the season? Is the whole season vacated if he just played in 10 games?

UConn appears to be following the letter of the law per the NCAA with Boatright. He never would have played without their specific OK, so I don't see how any games could be at risk of forfeiture.

The NCAA makes me sick, their contempt for Calhoun is unbelievable. They clear the kid now they sit him out again, you can't make this **** up. The NCAA will do everything in their power to keep us from repeating, the only good news is Calhoun is always at his best when he's backed into a corner. Us against the world.

great duck*'* point. nothing like adversity and that mentality to bring a team together. that plus the extra seasoning for DD an RS will work for us in March.

The thing I don't understand is how did the Ohio State and Miami football players continue to play while the NCAA was investigating them for improper benefits received and RB not be allowed to play for benefits received? Maybe someone can explain the differences to me.

Uconn followed the procedure and sat Boatright the first time he was being reviewed. So if they actually do find something where hes ineligible then i dont think they can vacate a thing since he was cleared once already.

This is getting very old. Every year we seem to be dealing with some sort of problem and frankly it is hard to blame the NCAA for this if new information regarding violations surfaced. They really don't have any choice but to investigate. The maddening part is having to deal with these problems on a fragmented basis. There is probably something to all this or we wouldn't be sitting Boatright.
I'm not one who believes that the NCAA is out to get us. We create the fire and the NCAA simply follows the smoke.

How did we create the fire when the investigation surrounds issues that occurred before UConn's relationship with Boatright?

The NCAA is a traveshamockery.

If there is a problem I have no complaints about an investigation. But the way the NCAA handled the Ohio State players makes me question the even handedness of the NCAA. And maybe I'm a little cynical, but there are a lot of programs that make me think red flags should be raised and I don't see the scrutiny on them. It just seems odd.
 
I think the NCAA needs to make a clear distinction between issues involving a recruit that involved the school and those that didn't. I think vacation wins should be limited to violations directly involving a school not those that a university did not know about. As I have said in the past, I wonder if West Virginia knew something about RB and that is why they went for Hinds. I also wonder if someone from West Virginia is the source of these eligibility questions. Lamb should play some point guard ala Penny Hathaway from back in the day.

Sitting Boatright against ND was Uconn's decision. I agree that the NCAA isn't consistant but that doesn't change the fact that we seem to have problems every year.Sometimes it is the program, sometimes it is current players and sometimes it is a recruit but there always seem to be something.

If they used ineligible layers, those games were erased. UConn can continue to play Boatright, at the expense of its season.
 
Just seems a tad bit....unprecedented, doesn't it? Can anybody remember ANYTHING remotely similar to what has gone on with Boatright and the NCAA this year?
 
Just heard of this prior to game. This is making me sick. The ncaa is a joke.

I can only speak for Miami in your example. The players in question were given suspensions and they served them during the season.
