OT: Keith Frazier Leaves SMU

[aceboon]

Was averaging 12ppg

 

[Marat]

I assume he was forced out. Anyone know?

 

[Leebo]

I was surprised when he didn't leave earlier.

 

[HuskyBballFan]

Had they parted ways in the offseason, maybe they would have been more compelled to fight the postseason ban.

 

[tcf15]

Quite the tumultuous career for him.

 

[Brochacho]

Good word choice.

I'm sure a lot of it is of their own doing, but damn that program is snake-bitten.

 

[Fishy]

They're not snake-bitten.

They recruit horrific academic risks and then suffer the consequences when those risks become grenades.

Even pet snakes can bite.

 

[TRest]

Larry Brown doesn't have the UNC apparatus in place there.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

When a kid that highly touted ends up picking between SMU and Texas Tech there's usually a reason the big boys have stayed away.

 

[huskiesnyc]

Frazier is the only player involved in the scandal that got them banned in the first place. Now he's not tough enough to finish out two more months? I'd say good riddance if I were (and I thank God I'm not) an SMU fan.

Or when you're a top recruit and back out of your commitment to Pitt and end up at Auburn. Yes, Mustapha Heron, I mean you.

That's the first thing I thought of but really don't know enough about he kid. I mean he just seems to be too good to have ended with the list he had too.

He's playing for Bruce Pearl, that's all you need to know...

Is the UNC scandal worse than the SMU scandal on the scandal scale?

Just because they're tempting the snake doesn't mean they aren't getting bitten.

Was wondering the same thing

 

[uchusky32]

Someone snapped this photo of Larry Brown this afternoon.

UNc basically created an entire major for jocks and did it for years. SMU was just getting started.

Depends on whose scale. On the NCAA's? Not at all. On regular people's? Absolutely.

UNC's is the single worst collegiate academic (heck, maybe any type) scandal of all time. Which is why I don't get that there isn't the uproar out there.

Not just for jocks. They allowed regular students to take those classes. The school was effectively a fraud degree factory.

The only reason regular students got in the classes was the frats found out about it. Which ended up getting UNC off the hook initially.

Yup. More like gave the NCAA a convenient excuse to let them off the hook. They would have found something else.
