Why would anyone want them around? If I was a fan of their program I would want everyone gone. Start all over.

I said it earlier. If for some reason they do kick UL out they will take in Navy football only to balance out ND and have 14 for both all sports.

To be the second sleaziest program next to UNC in the ACC?

The IRS will soon be asking why no taxes were paid on this money.

Look at this BS:

Of course he doesn't. In reality, Rick is such a control freak that nobody can have a bowel movement without clearing it by him first yet the public persona is that he is so busy being a standup guy that he can't possibly have time to figure out what his underlings are doing.

 

[BugsyCT]

With Pitino & Jurich gone, Lou & ACC will now declare "Problem Solved!" and move on.

I agree, but they'll have a hard time polishing that turd.

Yes, and this will be where he buck stops so to speak.

Head Coach Steven Enoch?

Personally rooting for grad assistant head coach RJ Evans

There is an old adage that I live by
“Never take pleasure in the misfortune of others “
There is good reason for this
These revelations cast dispersions on College Basketball a sport I love.
Because when the hits the fan and your in the same room it’s hard to avoid being tarnished.
The point shaving scandal occurred at realtively small number of schools . It’s entire blame was placed on the corrupt NYC gamblers . But It caused all the basketball in the NE to suffer for 25 years. Until revived by Dave Gavitt . We don’t know nor can we predict the fallout from these revelations
Hopefully this causes the NCAA to wake up from their stupor.
A general public perception that our sport is dirty does no one any good especially BB schools like us.

Penn St. would probably keep him around but for any other fan base you can only screw over your fans and alumni so much before its over.

Fran Fraschilla: "With plausible deniability no longer a defense, how does NCAA handle head coaches' situations here. Will they have guts to come down hard?"

How clean was Fraschilla? Reasonably sincere, or disingenous statement on his part?

 

[upstater]

He's a U Miami guy. Ironic.

Just listened to Seth Greenberg excuse the assistant coaches who are involved in this mess. Says they're good people. Also says that in many cases it's their job to do it, AND you need to decide if you want to stick your toe over the line. How far do you want to go? Seemed to excuse it all, which to me showed how pervasive it all is.

 

[upstater]

Yes, and this will be where he buck stops so to speak.

Also, the players filled out FAFSA forms for financial aid. I'm sure the money wasn't declared on those either.

 

[sportsart]

I'm thinking this scandal is worth creating a new forum i.e., the conference realignment forum, and probably sends Fishy's daughter to Stanford or Duke.

Who knew that the sad state of affairs of college athletics would put the Fishy's household in a higher tax bracket.

This has legs for many months, if not years.

A thread for each school involved would be pretty interesting.

You mean the assistant who was coordinating the payments? He's a good guy? ...and was just doing his job? So an accomplice to a crime is a good guy and should just be let go? Glad Seth isn't running the FBI.

I didn't hear Seth's comments but was his argument more that it's the assistants acting on the directions of the head coach and thus while they're liable for their actions but the buck ultimately stops with the HC, or was he making them out to be innocent, know-nothing pawns? The former is a legitimate argument.

Players getting schollies needed to apply for financial aid?

 

[intlzncster]

Jurich, Pitino out at Louisville

Both pitino and judith are allegedly out

 

[Fishy]

Reasonably sincere.

One black mark.

He borrowed the sports section of my USA Today in a hotel lobby about 15 years ago and walked away with it.

Yes indeed. Of all the three letter agencies, this is the one that strikes fear in people's hearts. The FBI couldn't put Al Capone away. The IRS did.

 

[brasssbonanzaa]

I'm pretty sure they don't fill out FAFSAs because athletic scholarships are not considered need-based.
