It's an insider article so here's the small blurb on UConn:

16. Connecticut Huskies
After the ridiculous postseason ban, the Huskies return one of the best backcourts in the country in Shabazz Napier and Ryan Boatright.

Good guy Jay Bilas

Oh, so now people like lawyers.

 

[uconnell]

Oh, so now people like lawyers.

No, just Jay.

 

[businesslawyer]

No, just Jay.

LOL.

No different here than through the rest of history. People like lawyers when they are on their side. At least until the bill comes.

Not even all UConn fans think APR is ridiculous. Bilas has always considered it ridiculous. (Yes, I know he's referring to the ban, but schools deserve to be banned for bad deeds. Here, we have joke criteria, and Bilas knows it).

The only respectable Dookie, Jay Bilas. He does a tremendous job of staying unbiased and calling everything how he sees it. Head and shoulders above anyone else in the college basketball media.

I know this has been debated to death but Uconn was banned from post season play but not post season revenue so it really punished the kids, who had nothing to do with the problem, more than the University. It would have made a lot more sense to allow the kids to play in post season play but not allow the University to benefit financially from it. But again it's the NCAA and common sense just doesn't apply.

The Trillest. Time to go to work.

C'mon you couldn't have been surprised by that response. The only surprise was that it took a whole two minutes for someone to post it.

Jay is the only "Analyst" worth listening to. Usually very impartial.

And best of all....almost always shares the opinions of UCONN fans - Which just proves how smart and reasonable WE all are

If i remember correctly, We proposed that to the NCAA along with losing a few conference games. It was denied by the NCAA.

It would have made a heck of a lot more sense than what actually happened.

 

[intlzncster]

Jay also thinks we got doubly punished for the same infraction. Which we did.

Is the NCAA even going to be around in 5 years? It is a horrible governing body. Good god i know people bitch about Roger Godell ect, but the NCAA always goes to lightly or to harshly and its punishments rarely fit the deed. Postseason ban this past season for a team that has no player that was involved in the APR? And they just killed SMC lol. Idk so long as they run this place nothing will be right.

I'll give him credit for thinking outside the box, but it's still not high enough

we're going top ten, and we'll be a national title contender (assuming Bazz doesn't throw away his chance to be a lottery pick next year )

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Probably the only college bball analyst I've never heard a bad thing about (no matter the person's affiliation). Right up there with Jon Sciambi on the very small list of legitimately good national broadcasters.

 

[Kitaman]

Oh, so now people like lawyers.

Nice joke.

 

[RS9999X]

Is the NCAA even going to be around in 5 years? .

Yes. For the 1,200 schools not in the Five BCS conferences.

He is known to have huge upside potential.

And wingspan.

Take a couple deep breaths.
