ESPN reporting...

[cusetown1]

Why did Syracuse's investigation take almost 2 years, while Penn State's took less than a year? They really dragged this one out.

Guys, this might be my fault. The NCAA deemed my handsomeness as improper benefits... My bad.

This pic is gold. Any suggestions anyone?

Use the pic of JB ripping off his sports coat, along with this one, and make JB and Adam look like male strippers.

Maybe the NCAA could "punish" the team by taking away the East Regionals from the Dome.

I don't think this has been mentioned, but another penalty possibility is an NCAA imposed suspension of JB. That is supposed to be a major component of the newly adopted (Aug. '13) Infractions and Sanctions Structure. Suspensions of from 10% up to a full season are on the table in appropriate circumstances.

That said, everyone is behaving like a bunch of Chicken Littles. Without knowing exactly what SU is accused of it is hard to know what its level of culpability is and how that might translate to penalties.

The ESPN article is bullspit. It really says nothing other than the infractions that the committee will be reviewing come from a 10 year period. It could mean one infraction in 2003 and a wholly different one in 2013, it don't think it necessarily means a continued pattern of infractions over a 10 year period. If ESPN knew that to be the case they would most certainly emphasize that fact in their article. Further while they say that allegations of receiving improper benefits are among the allegations, but that may be one minor not particularly supportable allegation among others that are more clearly the focus of the upcoming hearing.

I want to emphasize that none of what we have seen reports any specifics. In the absence of specifics it is really hard to draw conclusions about what type of penalty SU should receive, much less whether it should even be subject to penalties.

There may be a couple of posters here that have more information than what it is being reported in the media, but I haven't seen anyone say that their comments are based on independent knowledge and given the stakes I suspect there isn't a lot of information freely floating around.

Uh oh--would your opinion change if you found out that this guy is also accused of failing the shool's drug policy?

I know just the guy to get us started.

He is out of eligibility . . . . . . been in school trying to legalize marijuana since before I was born.

Yes I know. Major League. Always reminded me of a mummified pot head though.

"Mother, do you think they'll try to break... my balls? Oooh, ahh, mother should I build a wall?"

All alone, or in a two-three zone
The ones who really love JB
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and fans
Make their stand.

And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad bugger's wall.



and since Hop has learned his entire craft from 1 man...

"Isn't this where..."

"...I (we) came in."

Stuff some dollar bills in their mouths. Or considering it would be women doing the stuffing, in fairness to realism, make it change.

Excellent! Hopefully JB doesn't have the meltdown like Pink, although he'd certainly become even more interesting. I picture him in the bathroom stall reading poetry from his next album that includes laments about specific players, (edit: ) and maybe betrayal by the media.

 

[orange79]

I hope so. But I have a feeling the NCAA would just love to really hammer a P5 program at this time to show they are still in control of the P5.

Let them hammer UNC then.

money, money. i'm alright jack keep your hands off my stack. new car caviar, four star day dream, think I'll buy me JB's basketball team.
Poems. Rubbish. Get back to work, laddy!

 

[CaptainJ]

No way they vacate all 10 years, not gonna happen, hysteria is runnin wild in the grove right now. If it was UNC bad, then maybe, but personally, I see something similar to uconn, "lack of institutional control" or however they word it. SU will survive this, my worry is if JB will also, right or wrong, for all he's done, it's not the way I envisioned his swan song being. Hoping I'm wrong

Jesus, you shouldn't have to hope. Can't you do something to make this all go away so that we talk about more high-minded topics?

Mods, next to his "Walk On" status, do you think you could "just add water"?

 

[tee1222]

Mother will they put me in the fiiiiiring line? Ohhhh ah...is it just a waste of time?

(Went to see roger waters 2 summers ago, best concert I ever been to)

My first trip to the Dome was not a bball game. Floyd. Laser lights projected to the inside of the top of the dome.
If only Roger was there.
Still a great show.

 

[chlywtr]

did you ever wonder
why we had to run for shelter
when the promise of a grave new claim
unfurled beneath a clear blue sky?

Sadly, I grew up with Pink as my role model and at times see myself drifting toward Syd land.

Mine too!!! 6/6/94!!! That orb opened up from the floor! Ruined me for all other concerts. That was back when i was straight edged too, but still wish i could remember it better due to the passage of Time.
