Two Georgia Tech men’s basketball boosters provided impermissible benefits

Download the Sept. 2019 Georgia Tech Public Infractions Decision

www.ncaa.org

The committee used the Division I membership-approved infractions penalty guidelines to prescribe the following measures:

• Four years of probation.
• A 2019-20 postseason ban for the men’s basketball team.
• A fine of $5,000 plus 2% of the men’s basketball program budget.
• A reduction of one men’s basketball scholarship during each year of probation.
• Recruiting restrictions for the men’s basketball program that will apply for each year of probation, including:
  • An eight-week ban on unofficial visits.
  • A three-visit reduction from the permissible number of official visits.
  • An eight-week ban on recruiting communications.
  • A reduction of 19 recruiting-person days from the permissible number.
• A three-year show-cause order for the former assistant coach. During that period, any NCAA member school employing him must restrict him from any athletically related duties unless it shows cause why the restrictions should not apply.
• A vacation of records in which the men’s basketball student-athletes competed while ineligible. The university must provide a written report containing the contests impacted to the NCAA media coordination and statistics staff within 14 days of the public decision release.
• A prohibition from scheduling official visits in conjunction with home men’s basketball competitions during the first two years of probation.
• Disassociations of the following individuals (self-imposed by the university):
  • A three-year disassociation of the former assistant coach.
  • A three-year disassociation of the former Georgia Tech men’s basketball student-athlete and booster.
  • A disassociation of the head coach’s friend and booster.

good thing the NCAA is prioritizing this over Will Wade being caught on tape saying he made a recruit a "good duck*** offer"!

Hope kids can transfer. Would like to see post season ban applied to the following year to fit the crime. Hurts recruitment.

Friend of Pastner was one of boosters. Answers question asked in another thread how a bad coach gets good recruits.

 

[Guapo]

Probably time for them to scrub that line from “To Hell With Georgia” about the NCAA investigating how much UGA pays players and finding they out pay the NBA

Man, I wish they had stuck by this for Cuse. 4>0 just has a nice ring to it.

 

[zls44]

Pastner. Of course. He isn't even any good at it!!!

You have to hand it to Memphis, a program that has absolutely no intention of running a clean program, ever, at any point. Pastner is the latest in a long line of dirtbags associated with them, but yeah, its ridiculous to assume Penny Hardaway isn't on the up-and-up, its not like 95% of their previous coaches have been shown to run completely afoul of regulations, you're the cynic...

You just can’t trust any assistant coaches these days!

This sort of looks like the negative publicity is making the NCAA finally crack down a bit harder. We shall see. But if this is the penalty for what those guys did Kansas is going to get hit much harder than I expected. Multi year ban but they won’t get the death penalty

Not sure I agree on the transfers Likely they were well aware of the nonsense going on. I honestly doubt it was a 1 time thing.

Who cares if they were aware? As far as they're concerned, this is de rigueur at all programs. Or do you expect kids to snitch on their own teammates/coaches? That's ludicrous.

 

[whaler11]

lol $300 on strippers in atlanta. every kid at every program in the country is aware of bigger violations.

This is beyond belief for the nature and relatively narrow list of violations. Prorating this against what Louisville did with strippers and paying the "ladies" to have sex with recruits and their fathers would mean L'Ville would get the death penalty. When is that happening, exactly?

Penny out on the recruiting trail with his bag of tricks I see

You hang out with dogs you get fleas

Bad analogy for the huskies, perhaps a rephrase

Only dirty dogs!

 

[RipCity]

thats a crazy penalty

No doubt harsher than what Kansas will get, which I’d assume will be a half assed penalty announced in a Friday news dump when there’s huge news in the NFL or something.

Good point. How about when you wrestle with a pig you both get dirty and it’s fun for the pig.

I'm not going to ask how you know that!
