Jeff Jacobs: NCAA investigating UConn men

[Kemba429]

If this is true, how can you be so bad at cheating... I mean if you finish below .500 by cheating, how the hell would they have finished without?!? I hope this isnt true but if it is, thats crazy and everyone involved is an idiot.

And now you know why Benedict was dark.

Fire everyone.

I can't imagine which player we got recently in a "shady" way.....most of them have been damaged goods or flyers. Maybe someone KO swung & missed on?

Guess I shouldn't speculate but what top 50 player that wasn't a walking injury have we landed in last few years?

My gut says Sid Wilson.

The whole set of circumstances was just strange, with him committing to St. John's, going there for a week, then backing out and coming here.

Could also be why the AD appeared to be totally clueless about the NCAA ruling, maybe there was something else going on behind the scenes.

Watch this has to do with Alterique -- the man that literally cannot stay healthy enough to play more than 5 games at a time (I have no idea if it is just saying how sad it would be if this were the case)

 

[80shusky]

Ugh, hopefully a minor deal like too many phone calls or something.

 

[Chief00]

Now you know why Chief posted what he did on Sunday.

 

[Peacefrog]

Perhaps word of the Blaze strategy caught the attention of the enforcement arm of the NCAA

 

[Stainmaster]

Firing with cause! Firing with cause!

Alternatively, how embarrassing would it be to get nabbed for violations for a player we couldn't even get to come here. Watch it be Diallo.

That would put a nice bow on the KO era.

Also, on the same day that UConn announces that the NCAA denied the waiver they find out they are under investigation.

Well when life hands you lemons...

 

[AntG168]

Purvis didn't play that year so I don't think it would matter in that hypothetical

But he was technically apart of the roster, no?

 

[6xChamps]

Also not sure if anyone else noticed but I don’t think AD Dave was at the ceremony at halftime tonight honoring student athletes with good grades. Herbst and Goetz were out there but I don’t think Dave was. Could have to do with this

 

[Stainmaster]

Well when life hands you lemons...

Dan Hurley would love to move to a job where he’s ineligible for postseason play his first season. Totally.

Yea when you RS you take up a scholly but it wouldn't make sense to take away wins and/or pull down banners when the player in question did not participate in said games. Let's just hope we don't actually have to cross this bridge.

 

[Storrs South]

I guess we still need to have a GoFundMe campaign after all.

Agreed

Random thoughts:

-The school has already lawyered up. Good.
-Glenn Miller narcing on us?
-Can we preemptively ban outselves from this year's tournament ala Cuse?

We'd have a lot of spare coin to throw at him. Everyone has a price.

Whatever makes you feel happier.

I think St Johns didn’t like what Mr. Wilson had to say about them to the media. So, St Johns filed a complaint to the NCAA alleging that we committed violations in getting Sid to UConn. Would make sense

 

[Tenspro2002]

I mean, wasn't Nate Miles on the 2008-09 roster for part of the year, and we didn't have to vacate that season.

 

[superjohn]

Now you know why Chief posted what he did on Wednesday.

Aren't you out celebrating the win? My guess is this has to do with Bunkey.

Cuse did it and it worked to perfection since they weren't tourney bound that year. UConn better do the same.
