Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 2758848, member: 488"] This would be a fair argument if the NCAA conducted the investigation independently without any tip-off from people within the program. Since it appears this was not the case, we can only be led to believe that the school is attempting to extort him over things that have been normalized at every other program. I've never found the NCAA even a little credible - the fact that they've dropped the hammer on UMass, Memphis, and Louisville while letting other schools skate is evidence enough that they're corrupt. But at least in the past there has been a sliver of logic. You could say "school x may have got busted for illegal phone calls, but it was probably only the tip of the iceberg if it prompted the NCAA to intervene." That doesn't apply anymore, not only because UConn has a vested interest in exposing any conceivable violations, but also because [I]Ollie was fired due in large part to his inability to recruit. [/I]You can't fire somebody for not cheating well enough and then fire him for cause because he cheated. You have to at the very least pick one if you want to avoid being labeled an incomparable hypocrite. [/QUOTE]
