My step-sis-in-law/cousin - I don't know how the hell she's related to me - texted me very fretfully about death penalties. I tried to reassure her about that as well.
A career move that 24 hours ago he could NEVER have expected.
There will be a lot of this ripple effect going on in each of these university towns, shoe companies, rep agencies, etc.
Interesting. But be careful what precedent you set. IMHO, LV was a sketchy conference choice to begin with given their academics. At this point, however, they're members of the league and will undoubtedly suffer serious NCAA penalties. Maybe the conference should just leave this to NCAA enforcement, unless they want people looking to ax UNC when the NCAA shoe drops on them. It's a slippery slope.
Bellarwut?
will never happen because there's always the chance something gets linked back to Duke or Carolina. don't establish a precedent you can't live up to.
Yeah, no way. The legal fees alone could bankrupt the conference (a bit of hyperbole there, but they would be astronomical). And as Franco says, it would set a dangerous precedent. Sanction them all you want - that works and they would be hard-pressed to argue. But you can't just kick them out of the conference. This ain't Temple.
Surprised by this. I would think the best thing for them to do would be to clean house. I heard someone say it would be good for the team to maintain continuity. At this point, why would you want any ties to a largely corrupt past? The sooner that all of the coaches and players that were there in 2017 are gone, the better. Obviously you don't kick the kids to the curb but the coaches that drove the ship- see ya.
You literally cannot make this up. Look who David Padgett had (maybe still has) as an agent.
I didn't know till just now that besides assistant, he is also director of basketball operations at UL. Perfect candidate; he directed a program that is in the midst of two scandals.
You clean just enough of the dirt off the top to make people believe things are different, but secretly, it's all systems go again.
Zero commitment to a change in culture. I hope this doesn't exemplify the rest of the landscape post FBI.
