Why didn't Benedict self impose this year?

[Ewekon]

He knew what the NCAA allegations were, that KO was involved and that the season was lost anyway.

Horrible job.

Horrible job.

Maybe the potential punishments for the allegations aren't enough to be worth a post-season ban in the first place?

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Isn’t the new buzz that it was unsanctioned workouts? That stuff is typically a few Game vacation for the coach not a post season ban.

Because you can't really self impose a post season ban when you're bound to have a losing season.

Syracuse did

 

[Caronimo]

Syracuse did

We don’t get the NCAA treatment that they get

 

[Caronimo]

Who’s to say that whatever we did is worthy of a ban? Could just be loss of scholarships and probation

Lol.....self-imposing during a season where you won’t even be eligible.

No one is that stupid.

 

[Excalibur]

We couldn't because we didn't have a notice of violations. There was nothing to self-impose against.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

Not sure you can say AD Dave did a horrible job when we don't know as much of the story as he does? Lol

Make a judgement after the dust settles.

 

[Skiblets]

Think we may need to separate the NCAA stuff and the firing for just cause into two very distinct buckets

 

[willie99]

maybe the just cause ain't so black and white, maybe it's nothing about violations

But this is the Internet? Why would he do that?

C'mon, knowledgeable Boneyard posters absolutely and inexplicably believe just cause must be looking the other way while a few guys practiced a little too much.

He could have done it after the Oregon game and might have been taken seriously but any time after that would have been insane. The Arkansas pummeling basically killed that option and after that uconn would have been laughed off.

And if he had people would called for his head saying that killed the season. Just saying.

I'm a bit concerned because Ollie's contract outlines that to be fired for cause as it relates to the NCAA, the violations have to be "significant or repetitive." As to the significance, either this is bad, or the University doesn't have much ground to stand on. Hopefully its for repeating some minor violation.

Or that an employee/coach under his watch committed a NCAA violation and Ollie knew but didn't report or correct. The most convenient out would be Chillous somehow being tied into this FBI investigation, Ollie knowing, and hiring him anyway.

Significant would be the head coach being named responsible for level 1 or 2 infractions where he would face a suspension.

If they self-impose, it'll def be next year - which is going to be a mess anyway.

Get the new coach in, get what commitments you can - move on. You don't waste a self-imposed on a year that's already lost and a lame duck coach.

I read that also. WTH? JA and Larrier. That is absolutely ridiculous.
