Self Imposed Sanctions

Don't love #1, but if this is it, we should count ourselves fortunate.

 

[Storrs South]

Pretty minimal. Will gladly accept this provided NCAA doesn't add anything else.

 

[ZenConn]

If it stops here, this is fine but I have a feeling NCAA will add on more.

 

[Palatine]

This is for the things Ollie did without UConn's knowledge, correct?

If they didn't do at least one, the NCAA would certainly step forward with more. This way, it might dissuade them.

Firing the coach who perpetrated these violations helps. Even if it wasn't figuratively the case, it was technically.

Seeing as the charges were that Ollie lied to both UCONN and the NCAA, I'd say yes.

This is the same penalty as teams get for paying players, except for a postseason ban (which we may have done last year!?!). So I would not say it is easy.

So UConn is dying?

NH Register: UConn submits self-imposed penalties to NCAA

So 12 scholarships for next year? That leaves 1 spot open if everyone returns (doesn't seem likely)

Is that an educated guess or based on something you've heard?

Just an educated guess. But if they're going after Wahab and checking JUCO and hinting at grad transfers I think they expect to bring in a couple more guys.

Quality Friday news dump by AD Dave.

“Enforce a one week ban on recruiting communications” = A vacation week for Hurley and staff. He probably negotiated that in when he took the job lol.

 

[Pgh2Storrs]

Zags doing PR for us, Bilas arguing for KO. Another round of both sides lighting themselves on fire in the media. Terrific.

We basically are playing with fewer guys this year anyway with Diarra/Yakwe/Williams being out. 12 active scholarship players will be an upgrade.

Adams, Williams, Yakwe, Cobb, and Smith will all be gone. That would leave us with 3 open spots if everyone who is eligible returns, with the entrance of Akok.

Let’s get in front of this and ban ourselves from this year’s tournament. Why not?

[uconnphil2016]

I’m imagining this football PSA was keyion dixon? Glastonbury kid. That’s the only name I can think of that makes sense unless it was an AOF kid who didn’t end up coming to UConn

Right, plus Jalen Gaffney and James Bouknight.

Damn it I'm never right.

Ah, the Syracuse method. Why not?
