Uconn being investigated by NCAA

Jeff Jacobs: NCAA investigating UConn men

 

[moqui]

one wonders if there is an out clause in ollie's contract such that they won't have to pay him his massive buyout if he's found culpable for violations . . . .

 

[cuseinseattle]

What a shame. You have to feel bad for a proud program that has fallen on...bahhaha I really wanted to finish that second sentence before laughing but couldn’t. Screw them. They are in the purgatory their despicable fans deserve.

 

[jgeorge322]

I wont laugh at another program for this outside uk duke kansas and ucla (and maybe lville).

 

[kidorange]

Sounds like another wheelhouse school about to get popped. If NCAA really wanted to stop the shenanigans, they would focus their attention on where the biggest shenanigans are happening and send a message to all. Instead they go after middle of the road programs or ones they don't like to give the appearance that they care.

I wasn't aware that sucking and having a terrible coach was an NCAA violation.

 

[Alsacs]

Take the onn out of UConn and put an N after the U and they should be fine.

The fact the NCAA is going public this early tells me it’s not much.

They had to cheat to suck this bad?


UConn's "holier than thou we are the cleanest program in America" thing was getting old. I hope they get popped.

Lol so the AD self reported his own coach? Who wouldn't wanna work for that guy!

Think how bad they'd be if they didn't cheat

A terrible coach? Strongly disagree.

 

[Trueblue25]

Quit it with the c list teams and take down UNC amd Duke you cowards

Maybe that's the focus of the investigation...tanking the program.

With G-town... its intense hatred of the program with every fiber of being.
But disliking UConn always seemed much less about the program than it was (and is) the fans.
Those fans have got to be the biggest d*&#(eb%gs in college basketball.

Two words for them: 6 Overtimes!
Whatever it takes to beat them.
May their mouths be permanently shut.

God, please watch over this illustrious program during their upcoming trials and tribulations

Mass player exodus. Ass't coaches fired. There is a lot of trouble in that program and it starts with Ollie.

But he won a title with Calhoun’s players!

And if they had stayed in the Big East (or somehow got an ACC invite - lol) none of this would be happening, imo.

They aren't getting anyone better than Ollie. Not on a long-term basis, anyway.

 

[RF2044]

Anybody out there still disagree that yukon is a mid-major?

Schadenfreude, baby!

Might not be 100% accurate, but its a hilarious statement so its worth saying in my opinion

 

[Deano]

Just saw that on ESPN this morning and busted out laughing. Nice way to start the weekend off. Also if they need a new coach Tom Crean is available.

 

[orangenauburn]

Now wouldn't it be something if they lost their '14 title from this?

I believe that's a standard clause in every coach's contract, e.g. Rick Pitino. Firing someone for NCAA violations is firing them for cause, totally different than firing them for having a losing record.

Maryland fans (I live in DC) still talk about how dirty Calhoun was. How he literally stole Rudy Gay from their grasp. They will hate JC forever.
