Some Clarification from the Courant

[FfldCntyFan]

I can see it now:

Diablo, Heron in & Waters each stated a dollar amount it would take for a commitment. We said "thanks but no tbanks" so each took a check from an SEC school.

Now under immunity, we get hit for not reporting that the kids asked for cash while the schools and the kids walk away scot free.

I'm trying to click - it's not working.

Don't trust any more wealthy Nigerian princes promising $10 million dollars for KOs buyout.

By the way, does Ollie always hand off his half-time interviews to his assistants? I notice it was Chillous taking the questions from Rothstein. Was KO in hiding because he knew this was hovering and didn't want any questions?

He’s got 15 minutes to get back to the locker room, check Tinder, talk to his players, check Tinder, get something to drink, check Tinder and then check Tinder before the second half. He doesn’t have the time for sideline interviews.

Probably not, but who knows.

Yeah Miller used to do it all the time.

How's the weather in fantasyland?

Ollie stopped doing the halftime interviews in the season following the championship. Always been miller, this year its always been chill.

LOL it's the NCAA. They are judge, jury and executioner. They do whatever they want

But why is that? That has to be some sort of tampering if true. Is there no governing body for the governing body?

 

[Dove]

Man, I find myself remembering myself reading Yarders laughing when Cuse fans said this program will fall off a cliff in a few years. I hate remembering that crap.

 

[Penfield]

I just hope this ends up being us trying to pay kids cause I can at least get behind the sentiment. If it's something like Louisville where we were using s e x to recruit kids I would be sick to my stomach. I would have a really hard time supporting the program after that

You can appeal the NCAAs decision but the appeals are heard by the NCAA.

So hold on a second. Let's follow this logic:

- We cheated to try to land a few recruits
- The recruits turned us down for other schools

Doesn't that immediately raise red flags regarding the schools that actually did get these kids?

The bigger red flag is this staff can’t convince kids to come here even when they cheat.

Just kidding. Sort of...

Not if the recruits say "Yeah, UConn tried some shady stuff to get me to sign."

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Seriously between Nate Miles not playing a second for UConn and some if not all of these potential recruits not even playing for us, you can't make it up.

If you're going to cheat, get some production out of it for god sakes.

Well, The Boneyard's greeting a lot of traffic; shop Amazon.

On the original thread, were already 130+ comments before sunrise for something posted past midnight that by morning had 0 comments on its publishing website.

The escalating number of comments on the original post, plus 2 offshoot threads reads like a massive brainstorming session triggered by red meat.

There's whatever the NCAA is already investigating, plus all kinds of additional prospects, players, coaches, affiliates, and scenarios.

And I end up being like @WingU-Conn, originally looking forward some, "Hey, how 'bout last night?" chatter when I logged on this morning. This is much more like a game of Clue than was mentioned last night.

Ain't we got fun!

Here's Coach entering the office today...

 

[Candyman]

Not sure what happens moving forward but this will be over the programs head for months. 2019 recruiting just took a major blow. Negative recruiting will happen. The end of year exodus will be many more than I thought. Either way I dont see how Ollie is back next year. If their is violations thats a serious death blow to the program.

We would need a new coach who would take over a program that isn't eligible for postseason that probably will lose 80% of the roster.

Well, it appears that we may not have to worry about any 10 million buyout. So we got that going for us. Which is nice.

With a brand completely tarnished. And sanctions. Who's gonna want to come now?

I'm tired of this . It's not remotely enjoyable to follow.

 

[jibsey]

We need to do this the way North Carolina did it. Deny anything happened, say the coach did nothing wrong, followed by no self punishment. In other words just tell the NCAA to _____ off.

 

[John]

Rationally im just ready to quit college athletics all together. Unfortunately being an alum makes it harder.

I haven't quit, but I find myself slowly divesting (yes, I'm an alumni).

Well at some point if/when we are given sanctions, you take your medicine, while offering to pay 2-3 million for a job ..you'll still get some qualified applicants.

You could have said the same about Indiana post-Sampson. And they're still able to attract top coaching candidates.

They were still in the Big Ten though.

 

[AntG168]

At this point they are still just accusations. I’d wait until we are charged with an infraction to panic

LOL at still offering 2-3 million.

A couple of players got caught up in recruiting scandals such as Waters, Diallio etc.. And got immunity to rat out anything that happened in their recruiting and of the schools mentioned UCONN was the most appetizing to Emmert and the NCAA. Plus they wont touch the P5. Now they will prove they can be hard to improve their image after NC and Louisville. UCONN still looks good in headlines.

Our favorite former employee who it is well known is still bitter (Glen Miller) . Putting the screws to his former boss and destroying whats left of his career.
