Source: Tip by mother’s ex led to NCAA investigation

[HooperScooper]

More on this situation from Kevin Duffy of the CT Post. If I were JC I would be livid. Can anyone just call into the NCAA with allegations and that can keep a kid from playing? Absolutely ridiculous. I'd punch this guy if I knew who he was.

The man who provided the information had a court case against Tanesha Boatright, a source said, and is "doing whatever he can to get back at her. It has little to do with Ryan.

"He doesn't even know the rules and regulations of the NCAA and recruitment," the source said. "He was just throwing everything out there."

It's ridiculous, but in a way, I'm hoping this is true because it probably means it's only smoke and no fire.

 

[huskiesNhoos]

That's absurd. The NCAA is such a crock of it's ridiculous. I hope boatright comes back with a chip on his shoulder and fires this team up

As OP said it's reassuring to know that it's likely just groundless allegations that are holding him out at this point

FREE THE BOATSHOW!

[61cygni]

Is there any repercussion for a false "tip?"

 

[Huskies2324]

NCAA will stil take a week to ten days to review the "facts" as per before so not sure how long Boat has to stay in the dock. Ridiculous that this is even given any credence by the joke NCAA.

 

[uconNYC]

I would have just played Boatright.

 

[ibleedhuskyblue]

im just gonna start calling in "tips" about the best players on every team.

lets see how many are "investigated"

Dear NCAA Gendarmes,

I have been giving each Plumlee brother a goat on their birthday for the past thirteen years. I have receipts from Goats n' Stuff.

Although I have not dated Mrs. Plumlee, I am willing to if that helps moves things along. Please launch an investigation.

Hugs and kisses,

A Tipster.

I once bought them Gatorade after a high school game and they signed my ticket stub. I guess you could say they profited from their athletic ability...

Dear NCAA, I paid Corey Maggette for the entire 1999 season Thanks for letting Corey play and giving Duke a pass.

 

[TRest]

Dear NCAA:

I provided no-show jobs for every Memphis player during the last decade. They were paid approximately $40,000 each summer, but less after Coach Cal left. Please look into this.

Really?

So this lovely individual was the source of the first tip.......did he JUST REMEMBER additional information that the NCAA is now acting on? I just don't get it...you clear a kid, then put him right back on the bench with information from the same guy? Gee how about asking the first time, "Sir Scumbag, are you sure this is all the information you can provide us?" Are they so obtuse as to NOT see this clown has a vendetta against the mom?

I really don't get how this happens....

Sometimes a post answers itself.

I hear that a lot of schools backed off Boatright because of his mother's suspect dating history.

Hellava rumor, well I would think Calhoun is safe, and he picked the right school.

btw: you are not the former boyfriend are you?

Hellava rumor

... and, with no direct knowledge a highly inappropriate comment at best.

The inability of individuals to recognize a joke on this board astounds me sometimes.

 

[dogpause]

Although it's sad that Ryan is in the middle of a personal vendetta, IF there indeed was a violation, it shouldn't be relevant to the NCAA, or us, as to why and how it got reported. Even if the messenger is a scumbag, it doesn't matter. If Ryan had other potential violations, he should have emptied his closet the first time.

 

[prankster]

heard from whom...

Some guy....I think he used to date Tanesha Boatright....

 

[ktuck911]

What a

This is by far the best response. When I read that article yesterday I was floored... Couldn't believe BS like that could even be considered....

 

[UconnDon]

When do the NCAA member schools start demanding a professional level of player investigation, with inclusion of due process, or wait until some school that gets really burned starts the obvious litigation.

The inability of individuals to recognize a joke on this board astounds me sometimes.

Being sarcastic and/or facetious is a bad idea on a message board, because it's way too easy to miss it and read text literally.

that having been said, yes, in this case it was amazing that anyone saw that as other than a joke.
