as a basketball fan, this is bull$h*t

 

[Upstate]

Your move, Calhoun.

Another reason to get the hell out of Big East. No way they touch an ACC or an SEC school since those conferences have been mentioning breaking off from NCAA before.

What other big time schools like Uconn have been banned in the past? Any others?

 

[HOFCeluck]

It's bullshit...but it is UCONN so LOLOLOLOL

 

[oldpinepoint]

This could be us in a few years so i'm keeping my mouth shut

Maybe Calipari goes for a "two-fer".

Be scared y'all

Concerned? Maybe. Scared? Nah. I can't imagine SU will not do everything in it's power to not let this happen.

 

[Knicks411]

If the information that CAW posted a few days ago is correct, then we are pretty much in the clear on this, unless something really drastic happens.

No one for APR. APR are brand new rules.

I think schools in general accept getting banned for violations where they give improper benefits etc. For APR everything is mostly out of school's control. Guys leave early and don't finish classes, not much you can do.

I wonder what's going to happen with UConn's agreement to play in the East Coast aircraft carrier game in November if Lamb and Drummond leave. Any good opponent is liable to crush the Huskies. If any spectators show up, they might jump overboard after watching Napier toss up 20 trifectas.

As someone already posted, the APR is new, so UConn would be the first one banned for grades. Of course UK and SU were made examples of back in the day and banned from the tourney while schools like UNLV and Michigan never once suffered for the crap they pulled. The fact that UNLV went unscathed during the Tark years, when everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, knew they were crooked is just about the most ridiculous "head in sand" moment the NCAA has ever had. They ding SU for piddly crap two years after UNLV is known to be paying guys like Larry Johnson, and other players are caught hanging out in hot tubs with agents and casino owners. Nothing happens to UNLV. They run Tark off and all is forgiven.
