Penalty Rumors For Cuse

[BFieldHusky]

Nothing in the media, even the Syracuse beat. Interesting. I still think the ban will be for next year, and their scholarship loss would be for next year as well.

Hell, we had our program dragged through the mud for 18 duck*ing months as the NCAA waited to retroactively enforce a crime five years after it had been committed. The PR was bad in 2013 and even worse in 2012, and it effectively destroyed any chance we had of putting together a decent recruiting class in either of those years (thankfully Calhoun had already committed, we managed to snag Facey, and the staff struck gold with Brimah).

So I'll amend my overly calm post from last night and say that if Cuse gets to serve their ban under their convenient, hand-crafted terms instead of feeling the full effects of the punishment, it's absolutely bull s***. I actually have a begrudging respect for the Syracuse program and I'd much rather see a program like UNC go under water, but any talk of postseason bans immediately trigger my APR PTSD.

This is what's pissing me off. I remember several games during which Sean McDonough or others mentioned our recruiting allegations and ongoing NCAA investigation but we never hear announcers discuss what happened at North Carolina. As much as we love the game of college basketball, it gets frustrating as hell to see a program as great as ours get left out in the P5 cold and all the other political bullship that's going on.

Cuseboard created a new forum for the info and put it behind a wall so that you have to be a registered user. Someone not banned (twice) will have to fill us in.

@sdhusky

I have been banned 4 times under the same account. The ban goes away after a month or so.

Southern Miss just self-imposed a post season ban for this season because of an investigation, so maybe Syracuse has decided to do the same. I don't like that programs can self-imposed postseason bans in the middle of the season, but maybe I'm biased because of 2012-2013.

Yeah, it will be pretty brutal if Cuse can ban themselves for this year and call it good. Basically no punishment for cheating, while we're severely punished for not cheating and having some kids with bad grades or not finishing semesters.

It would be one thing if Syracuse self-imposed a ban before the season (maybe they did this and tried to keep it under wraps, but I find this unlikely). But if they self-imposed a ban after it became clear that they were a bubble team, that's laughable.

The newest rumor is a two year ban (including this season) in addition to scholarship reduction the next 2 years. Most posters think it is BS, as do I. I can't see them banning 'Cuse this year, or reducing scholarships for next year when they already have a full class.

The NCAA is in survival mode right now. Not even sure if they care what UConn is or isn't doing. If the NCAA's case is helped by punishing Syracuse and/or UNC, then they will be punished. If punishing Syracuse and/or UNC threatens to widen the gulf between the NCAA and the P5, i.e. its money, then they will not be punished.

They wouldn't even let me sign up. Maybe I should use a different name.

Based on the golden rule, what are the chances that UConn is in this 'list?'

They actually went through this thread and banned me again, and I didn't even post anything over there. What a bunch of crybabies.

That kind of leak put the onus on everyone and is really unfair.
Either name the teams under investigation or shut up until your ready to make a substantiated charge.
The NCAA is its own worse enemy.
