When will there be an update on the Facey situation??

[Ts5034]

I know this is the NCAA we are talking about here, but it just seems like this has been kept real quiet. Is there any chance this will be cleared up by mid October for midnight madness?

It's the NCAA we're talking about here. They operate on their own time table when they aren't dealing with an SEC quarterback. My guess is they'll clear Facey and then retroactively suspend him at the end of the year forcing us to vacate all our wins.

I wish you would have asked 20 minutes ago, cuz I also would like to know.

Per usual, we'll have to sit him for 8-10 games while the NCAA drags their feet. Then they'll suspend him for at least a few more just for good measure. If they are feeling really good, he'll be docked a season or two. Uncertainty will be maximized to be sure.

Too bad it's not a simple case like a juco quarterback being shopped around the SEC or a Heisman trophy winner signing several thousand autographs for a broker over a period of months. Those get wrapped up in a weekend.

Evaluating the effect on eligibility of a single standardized test taken years ago? Far too complicated.

Don't fight it, you'll just end up pulling a muscle or something.

This is the NCAA we're talking about dealing with their favorite step child UConn.

So they will announce their decision in 22 years.

Johnny Football can play but Kentan can't... Sounds about right

 

[geordi]

Maybe we should counsel Facey to sign a few thousand autographs so the NCAA can move quicker and get this one off their desk!!!

No change in the status of #UConn Fr. forward Kentan Facey. NCAA still reviewing his case. He will be able to practice, however.

The Roberson kid from Cuse finished summer school in August. Somehow the NCAA got his grade report and reinstated him all within the same month. The Facey case is absolutely ridiculous.

The NCAA needs to have the equivalent of an internal affairs department. I volunteer to lead this organization.

On Kentan Facey situation, worst that can happen is he is declared ineligible for the year. #UConn believes no suspension coming.

 

[aceboon]

Daigneault should probably use a better word than suspension, using that implies Facey did something wrong.

They'll declare him eligible for this year...they'll just wait until April to do it.

The NCAA actually decided today to backtrack on some of the penalties initially handed to Penn State based on the "good faith efforts" made by the school since the punishment.

Kind of like that time they retroactively applied APR punishments to Uconn and then later backtracked since the school had put together two consecutive years of solid scores. That happened, didn't it?

They apologized to Miami too for unethical investigation methods. Just like they apologized when they unethically aided a doctor in violating HIPAA laws in UConn's case.

Isn't that kinda worse than a suspension? Give me a 10 game suspension over ineligible any day.

Kevin Ollie hoping to hear word on Kentan Facey in next few days. #UConn

 

[HooperScooper]

I just know it's going to be bad news. Has UConn ever received good news from the NCAA on player eligibility issues?

 

[Goat]

Would UConn favorably influence the NCAA if we changed our mascot to the Kangaroo, in honor of the administrative procedure the NCAA features (Kangaroo Court)? I think the likely outcome will be that there will be sanctions for a future team to serve after Facey graduates.
