Nocera is on the case

Why isn't that article in a Connecticut newspaper? Just thinking out loud there.

In terms of reporting, yes the CT papers are behind on this. In terms of opinion, at least Jacobs took a break from his tirades on Calhoun's demeanor to make a case similar to the one Nocera made.

Didn't know Ryan had to pay back $100/month for the ticket. Why couldn't the school pay off the debt incurred from these violations the way Kansas repaid all of Josh Selby's bills?

Yea, Nocera has his previous 2 weeks articles on the NCAA linked on that page.

The NCAA continually gives SEC schools little slaps on the wrist (there has been at least one SEC school on some form of football probation every season since 1979) but this is more for show than anything else. The reality is they will not come down hard on any SEC school out of fear that the SEC will take their football conference (along with all other sports), leave the NCAA to start a new athletic association (and in the process bring along every conference that wants to view itself as a major sports conference).

Reggie Rose is on the NCAA's most wanted list. They will be petty and malicious towards anyone associated with him and his AAU program as long as they have the ability to do so.

Do you have any idea who the other players on that AAU team were and what universities they are playing for?
