Sean Miller

I have no doubt these guys are being paid, but i think the bigger question is how the cash is getting to their parties involved. It's pretty hard to be paying these kinds of sums in cash given bank reporting laws, and wire or checks are traceable unless they are to non disclosed parties. There's criminal and tax charges which can come out of this stuff. Lot of money to be flying around.
 
Everyone is being paid including the judges in some cases I believe. Most P5 seem to be protected as you see all the little guys get nuclear bombs thrown at them.
 
Why can't UConn get that kind of protection and resources?

Pay for play has always been around.Looks as though bidding wars will become the norm between colleges/sneakers vs.G league-internships for good to great high school kids who do not project as 1st rounders. Reference Darius Bazley.

Looked over at an Arizona Board and they are convinced that miller did nothing wrong and Dawkins was trying to incriminate him. Always a nice to check in on the other side.

All the tweets I see from Arizona fans are pretty funny, most say something along the lines of Miller being innocent and the fbi/ncaa clearing him, and that felons are just trying to throw him under the bus to save their own asses. Do they not realize that these quotes are coming from wiretapped calls that Dawkins/coaches didn’t know were being listened in on?
 
Remember when we got in trouble for too many text messages and non-compliance. Loved the quote...

"Not only that, the NCAA added to the terms of the self-imposed sanctions that UConn set forth in September. There is a three-year period of probation beginning Tuesday, a reduction in scholarships through 2012-13, recruiting restrictions and more. Some will say it's not enough. Some will say it's too harsh. Either way, it's not what Calhoun expected."

Feb. 22: Calhoun Takes Hit; NCAA Levies Sanctions Against UConn

This wasn't going to end well. UConn head coach Jim Calhoun wasn't going to absolve himself of all wrongdoing. He wasn't going to walk away from a protracted NCAA investigation without hits to his reputation and sanctions to match transgressions that he committed, failed to identify or failed to...

Because none of this matters to them nor is it surprising. They are banking on this to blow over and Sean Miller to continue to land stud recruits. All is good in Arizona for now.

Outside of CT and the Northeast that’s how things are viewed.
 
What I find the funniest about the whole Sean Miller saga is that AZ still thinks Miller will get them a title. He always gets great talent and does less with more than any coach in NCAA.

AZ imo might be better off moving on whether Miller skates by or not. I think AZ will get talent enough to win without Miller so I'm baffled what they are clinging to.
 
I think we have 2 things. First, this explains the Cal Tech penalty. Second college basketball has ceased being about “college” in any real way. Until some plans to do away with 1-done/transfer nonsense this stuff will continue

Arizona ain’t a blue blood, I bet they’ll come down on them hard to set an example. That way UNC, Duke, Kentucky will be allowed to skate.

Then the NBA will change the rules to allow high schoolers to enter the draft.

A man or woman, in our system, is innocent until proven guilty. Unfortunately with cable news programs seeking ratings, website seeking clicks and politicians trying to appeal to ignorant voters, as a society we have gotten away from that in high profile cases. I hope the old tradition returns soon.

Chief, this is my opinion not the legal system my friend. There is a difference I agree. And I hope he gets his opportunity to clear his name if he feels he should.

This isn't "our system" though. It's the NCAA and the schools rules.

How about shooting baskets with a recruit? Now that is really bad!

I heard about this guy. He robbed a bank, beat the tellers and fled. On the way outside he bumped in this sweet little old lady who was on her way back from the park where she liked to read the newspaper. Sure he could have just hopped in the car and left but instead he looked her in the eye and stabbed her through heart. Then he calmly pulled out the blade, and while watching her die, wiped it her newspaper and, laughing, threw the newspaper on the ground hopped in the car and drove off. Well they caught the bastard and he got the death penalty.

I can't believe they kill people in this country for littering.

I don’t know specifically, but I assume both the school and NCAA have reasonable or preponderance of evidence standards and can’t just be the “news” and social media Wild West.

I look at it like a civil matter. You don't need to be proven guilty. There just has to be enough evidence that it falls 51/49 in favor of guilty.
 
While it appears no smoking gun has yet to be uncovered regarding Miller, the mere fact that he's been hauling in banner recruiting classes, considering what these elite level recruits are being offered by others, is pretty hard to swallow. It's also difficult to believe he didn't know every little thing that Richardson's been up to all along. They were together all the way back to Xavier.

Personally I always liked Miller, as a tough Big East opponent, and I'd like to think he's not involved, but it's hard to believe he's not guilty of the NCAA's infamous "lack of institutional control", at the very least. His own assistant coach cutting deals with shady promoters sure seems like it ought to qualify, but he deserves his due process, however the NCAA defines that as of this week.

I am not defending him - agree there are red flags everywhere - just hope they follow whatever process is the appropriate one.

So has the NCAA started an investigation or not?

“The University of Arizona is correcting recent inaccurate media reports. Any reports stating that the NCAA has either “started” or “launched” a new investigation at the University of Arizona are entirely false. To be clear, we will continue to cooperate fully with any NCAA proceedings in the best interest of the University and the men’s basketball program.”

The statement by Arizona is a direct response to an article by the Arizona Daily Star and ESPN that stated the NCAA has launched an investigation into the men's basketball program, which a university spokesman confirmed to the Arizona Daily Star on Friday night.
