And once you lie to the NCAA, they bring out the axe. Maybe the NCAA got Ollie lying early in the process? Who knows? Seems for lying, the NCAA brings out the axe (from wiki because): [B][I]Bruce Pearl[/I][/B][I] – The former coach of the Tennessee Volunteers received a three-year show-cause penalty (which expired on August 23, 2014) for lying to the NCAA about an impermissible visit by prospective recruit Aaron Craft (who eventually went to Ohio State) to Pearl's home. While this was only a minor violation, the NCAA felt Pearl's lies elevated it to a major one[/I] [B][I]Todd Bozeman [/I][/B][I]– Former coach for the California Golden Bears, who had paid for a player's parents to watch their son play and lied about it to school and NCAA officials. He was forced to resign in 1996 and was handed an eight-year show-cause penalty, which expired in 2004. [/I] I do know one thing, I would not be surprised at all if the NCAA looked into UCONN a bit more thoroughly than maybe another school. We were just post sanctions, and it does seem that Emmert has a bit of a hard on here. Maybe they were fishing, got a nibble, and kept casting lines. [/QUOTE]
