Of course not. The NCAA wants us out of the tourney to "make an example" out of us and will do everything they can to keep us out, right or wrong. F*uck the NCAA and especially you, Mark Ememeret.....Wow, wake me up from this nightmare.

Lets create our own post season next year. Dont label it as "post season" but as an exhibition or something. Invite all the other CT D1 teams to play (none of them would make the dance anyway), have it at the XL and sell the rights to SNY or something.

This is more disheartening than the appeal being denied. I expected that. But I was still holding out hope that the NCAA would move to include the more recent APR scores.
Interesting times to be a fan of UConn men's basketball.

Who wants to bet that they implement changes prior to the 2013-2014 season where a hell of a lot more teams will be affected?

The waiver denial was expected. This is the final nail. And also a sign that, like the Governor said, the NCAA is trying to get UConn however it can.

I really wish I wasn't so obsessed with Husky basketball because I really wish I could entirely opt out of anything NCAA related.

On another note, I smell a lawsuit...

I am thinking this is really likely. If there were 13 teams this year I am sure there will be a similar number next year and 2013-2014. The more fanbases that this affects the more fans and the media will educate themselves on the injustices and flaws of this system and just as this is a PR move to give the aPR a face it will be a PR move for the NCAA to save face in a year or so.

If so then all they need is an injunction. Then you wait for the pressure to mount and the NCAA to change the rule/calculation and all the pieces fall into place. Almost seems too simple........

how would an injunction work? I have seen a few posters mention it. Fair warning I am not very well versed in law. If you can dumb it down a bit I'd like that.

Isn't Syracuse not eligible under the current rules for the tournament a couple years from now? Who wants to bet that they change the rules once again so they are included?

 

[jorge34]

What happened to phasing in the new requirements, giving schools time to adjust? Instead, they retroactively apply standards.....

Public sentiment is not on Uconn's side. The governor can say whatever he wants, he has no power or influence to do anything. The Ncaa is going do what it set out to do, and there is little that Uconn can do to change this.

 

[Gurleyman]

That statement seems completely wrong. An APR isn't a calculation that is relative to other schools that requires a lag time. It's just a straight measure of your own academic progress.

I've read a lot of stuff about suits against the NCAA, and really i'm not sure the chance they would really stand in court. But if this ever happened, UConn would be primed to collect damages, and I would take Emmert and his casts of mushroom caps for every penny they ever looked at.

No, it's not, but the NCAA operates "in the interest of fairness"..........................

Part of me wants to take a year off from college basketball next year. Honestly, it makes me sick that I've poured so much money into this disgusting organization over the years. This is so blatantly aimed at UConn and Calhoun that it isn't even funny. The University needs to sue right now, and consider leaving the NCAA.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Since Emmert is going after us personally, we need to respond in kind. Whatever action we bring against the NCAA needs to be brought against Emmert personally as well.

Yeah, not gonna happen, nor is a lawsuit. A public case has to be made, dispelling the ridiculous notion that the most recent data shouldn't or couldn't, be used.

 

[Huskymaniac]

As I understand it, you don't always need to win a case to win. There are several ways to win in a situation like this. For example, assuming the case doesn't immediately get thrown out and ends up in a trial, it will cost the NCAA a lot to defend against it AND it will be negative PR and scrutiny they may not want to deal with. They might just fold under the pressure. And the injunction thing is already being discussed.

Well, the Uass fans are loving this:

I'm sure fans of everyone we've ever beaten is loving this. In other words, everyone.
