Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 3937733, member: 40"] Not really clear. I think some of it might be the build-up effect of them having multiple iterations of getting busted cheating -- so THIS penalty might not only just be about the current infractions, but rather harsher due to the continued malfeasance. They're like the kid who doesn't learn their lesson and continues to get in trouble despite being repeatedly punished. They got caught doing a bunch of violations a few years ago, got put on probation by the NCAA, then they continued to cheat and got implicated in the Adidas probe while already on probation. While they were still being scrutinized for that, the AC got caught on tape AGAIN arranging a payment to a recruit who eventually committed there [but then subsequently departed]. Pitino gets fired, the AC faces a federal prosecution, they clean house and bring in a new staff... but CONTINUE to cheat. Talk about lack of institutional control. [/QUOTE]
