Lesson Learned Tonight With Kansas

[BleedHuskyBlu]

Cheat and ask for forgiveness later. Congrats on the championship and the multiple level 1 violations! I’m sure this will deter other programs.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

And also start 5 guys that are a threat to score the ball

 

[WrenchFan69]

The literal FBI found they were cheating and they win a title 2 years later with no repercussions. One of the funnier storylines in sports

 

[uconngb]

And someone asked earlier what Self ever did wrong. Unreal

 

[BleedHuskyBlu]

I would be all for UConn to start cheating but I’m sure we will get a postseason ban for just thinking about it.

At least Sean Miller can’t find a job and those UNC gpas are legit.

Oh never mind.

Great job.

And we did we passed classes before the rule changed and it rocked our school to the core. Name one other “infraction “ that did what we dealt with. Not even Miami football had this much time to feel the pain. Maybe a bit much but that 2012(?) sanction still burns.

On the other hand, UNC had a 16 point lead and a shot to tie and start 4 guys with a threat to score. 3 is too little, but 4 is okay.

 

[NowInStorrs]

Would you have felt better if classes are optional UNC had won instead?

And yet none of the players involved in that are on this team.

UConn was screwed on the APR thing, I think Calhoun pissed them off.

So what?

That's not how it works. Players who weren't on the team when transgressions happened have taken the punishments after investigations reach conclusions for time immemorial. You know why? Because it is the institutions being punished. Not the players. It's unfortunate for the players who get it, but thems the breaks. It's always been part of committing to a rule breaking institution.

I didn't hear one mention of it at any point in the tv coverage, did anyone?

Trivia question.


Who was the last team to win a title and then be banned from the post season the next season?


answer: Kansas.

I’m aware. Doesn’t mean it should. Merely pointing out the difference in say the UMass vacated title and this one. I don’t think they will vacate it, even if they impose other sanctions. Had KU won in 2020 (and that team was loaded) I could see that one being vacated. But it wasn’t played.

I think the NCAA is considering moving away from punishments that punish the kids who aren’t involved. For example: forfeit all NCAA units ($) for X years, fines for coaches and staff etc. The whole NIL thing has them on their heels a bit.

Davis fell one win short of becoming the second coach in history to win the title in his first season. Michigan’s Steve Fisher took over for Bill Frieder at the start of the 1989 tournament and won six straight games and a championship.

Um...

Ok so the lesson is to cheat then hide it as long as possible and just say “well none of those players are here so you can just move along, nothing else to see here”?

No, there is no lesson. If there is one for Calhoun it would be: don’t piss off the NCAA.

I expect KU will possibly get a postseason ban, reduction in scholarships etc. Could vacate games in which De Sousa was involved. But they wouldn’t vacate games that occurred 5 years later.

That said, for every team the definition of “booster” is ridiculous and overbroad. Some of this board are lobbying kids to commit. I would urge anyone who has season tickets not to do that. Boosters, referred to by the NCAA as “representatives of the institution’s athletic interests,” include anyone who has: Provided a donation in order to obtain season tickets for any sport at the university. Participated in or has been a member of an organization promoting the university’s athletics programs.

Somehow the school is supposed to control every single season ticket holder.

It was a great reason for number 4
Im not sure we win that without being suspended for something that occurred before the seniors were freshman and that we were already being punished for with multiple scholarship reductions.
The kids knew they were getting screwed by the NCAA in a personal vendetta against JC who had retired . Lying ,Cheating , Stealing is fine but disrespect is a capital offense. So they made up a formula that we were powerless to do anything , clever devils.
In case anyone doesn’t know why the ire We recruited the number 2 prospect in the country Andre Drummond without benefit of a scholarship when he agreed to walk on.
Originally a big who never saw the floor ( Bradley) was going to give up a scholarship for him. Fellows at the NCAA took it as a slap in the
face and a sign of disrespect.
APR haunted us for years

Where does adidas fall into this equation? Or Zion?

 

[willie99]

Cool, if they get stripped, we still have more

 

[HuskyHawk]

A guy from Adidas gave $2500 to DeSousa‘s guardian. That’s it. That’s the allegation. He was suspended two years, then reinstated for the second of those two years because he didn’t even know it happened.

Report: Kansas to ask for De Sousa's reinstatement

Silvio De Sousa has not played this season after playing in 20 games last season.

www.si.com

There isn’t any NCAA allegation related to Zion

 

[navery12]

Um...

Assume you're thinking they forgot KO but that was year 2

I read something that said that what made some of the KU stuff more egregious was that that impeded the NCAA investigation. Did that piss off the NCAA? Self is awful and dirtier than most of the coaches who we consider dirty and he will walk away free. They shouldn’t get a one year postseason ban. It should be multiple years. If it is simply fines and lose 2 scholarships it’s a signal that KU can do whatever they want and no big deal.
