Gottlieb also has us getting beat by Iowa State because we can't defend the three and have no one to match up with Royce White. I have mixed feelings about Gottlieb; but after that comment,which was made in a really dismissive fashion(in fact he seems to take a great deal of satisfaction in dumping on all of the BE programs except Syracuse this post-season), I wanted to grab him by the throat and hand him over to the Judge and a date with the piano wire!

GO HUSKIES!!! BEAT THE CYCLONES!!!
 
About the only thing better would be to have it happen to the Squid and give us a little easier shot. No worries, though. Even if UK goes to the final four, it's got to be vacated...again, and again, and again.

i dont understand the grades stuff. how could he possibly play last week in the bet and not this week in the ncaat if it was a grades thing????

Straight up no holds barred dirty cheating.

The slime is so thick there it is unbelieveable. I have to think that if Syracuse doesn't go to the Final Four at least, there will be calls for Boeheim to step down or be forced to resign. I mean how much slime can you put up with? and doesn anyone still by the Sgt Shultz thing any more?

Given how late it is in this semester, it can't possibly be a grades thing from last semester. And obviously we're only halfway through this semester so his current grades can't really be the cause. My guess is a failed drug test.
Expand ...
Supposedly the news of the failed drug tests is that they were all prior to this year. Though that obviously doesn't preclude Melo lighting up, say, during the BET this year.

I guess he'll take the money, either here or in Brazil, but if not he could transfer to Slippery Rock and room with Cody Endres.
 
Im kind of mad this happened. We all know they were choking again. Now they have a built in excuse.

You say that as if that means they'll feel better about it. Go read their board. This is hilarious.

You know, depending on what is of course, I'd feel bad for Fab Melo and the Syracuse players if it's some NCAA BS.

However, their fans for the most part can go F off.

None of these things would disqualify him in the past.

Carmelo Anthony's not walking through that door. And Fab Melo's walking out of it. See ya, Syracuse.

LOL!

They should go to the Sweet 16 with ease either way. They've got a nice easy draw until then.

you clearly haven't watched Kansas State play. They are very good.

[QUOTE"The NCAA went back and looked at his schoolwork," one source told CBSSports.com. "They are looking into the fact that he didn't do some of the work." ][/QUOTE]

So if he was ineligible before, and didn't do the work needed, wouldn't that mean that he was ineligible for every game in between? Me thinks JB is going to move backwards on the career wins list.

I know everyone here hates Gottlieb, but he presented an interesting perspective this afternoon. He argued that this announcement at this time illustrates Boeheim's fall in the eyes of the University. He claims that in the past JB would have had the juice to "fix" this.
 
You have to really wonder a bit with all these things surfacing how less publicized Syracuse's scandals or issues seem to be than ours. Could there be a strong correlation between the strong legion of media alums and the lack of severity with which these things are scrutinized?

It's been all over the news, I'm not sure how this is less publicized.

The Bernie Fine thing got a ton of publicity from ESPN and others as well...
 
Cuse has done been accused of so much ish this year, you have to wonder what's next.
 
hooskies said:
How can you be eligible all season up until the tournament? just wondering.
Expand ...
Ok, this was clearly a calculated move. Wait until after the BE Tourney and after the tourney seeding is done and they lock up a #1 seed to rule him ineligible. They would not have gotten a #1 seed if the committee knew Melo was gone. Syracuse is also afraid that the NCAA would vacate this year's NCAA results if they play him, but this may be a non-issue anyway if he is found to have been ineligible during the regular season yet played. I also wonder if this could be a failed drug test and ruling him ineligible only because of the recent bad press about letting players play after failed tests. I wonder why the media chooses to portray UCONN as a program in trouble when it seems to me Syracuse is a complete disaster.
 
Cuse had to know he was ineligible before the field was announced. Seems pretty shady to me that they just announced it now.

Of course that did and rightfully so, but to what lasting effect? It just seems with 3 or 4 incidents in one year, the perception of their program is far more rose colored than you would think.

Because someone from the Boneyard waited until yesterday to call the NCAA with super-fabulous-proof that they bought Melo a $1 ticket on Megabus!

Hey - I had this one first - get a new one - plus I put the quote on mine.
 
cuse is trying to beat pitt in a race to see who can join bcu quicker.
 
I don't like Syracuse and I don't like Fab Melo, but at the same time, I don't like the powers that be in the NCAA either. Had this been Kentucky or Duke player I'd be laughing my ass off, but in this case I'm not quite sure how to feel .
