Based on history, UConn is TERRIBLE in addressing these kinds of issues. You'd think we never recruited a kid from anywhere but West Hartford. This has been a problem going back a decade or more. We seem unable to anticipate and unable to respond in a quick and efficient way. UConn acted like it was a surprize that Facey had this issue. Did anyone form th eAthletic Department, you know, talk to the kid? maybe his accent gave away that he wasn't from Fairfield...
I think that is part of the issue. Big time football programs have their cases evaluated with lightning speed and usually in the favor of the big time football program (ref: it seemed like Johnny football's and Cam Newton's cases were "fully" investigated and final decisions were made in less than 48 hours)...UConn's cases (ref: Boat and now Facey)...not so muchThese are reasons why BCS schools will end up leaving the NCAA one day. This shouldn't be taking this long to make a decision on his case.

Well at least he didn't kill no deputy.They did talk to him, and he said, "Every little thing gonna be alright. Don't worry, about a thing, Mon."
Then they said to him, "Um, that's an interesting Brooklyn accent."
He replied, "I say east, say west, say north and south, these things make me jump and shout!"
UConn hired Angie Cretors at the time this was all going down. That was a smart move but it contributed to the problem of getting things reviewed by the NCAA in that the staff at the NCAA was considerably depleted before her departure.
Also Emmert is still in charge. Hopefully his vendetta was primarily with JC and not UConn.

My hope is that she has something on him!See my thread on Emmert. Does that look like a guy who backs down? Not a chance.
