Cuse would have just received a ban had this been instituted earlier... either way, doesn't matter, Uconn will never miss an NCAA tourney. Punishing kids that are there now for the deeds of a completely different group of kids makes no sense at all and is not what the apr is meant to do. It's a terrible system of course, as it encourages programs to pave the way for their athletes to finish in "good standing" but doesn't gauge or encourage true academic performance (or gauge how difficult it is to finish in "good standing" at each particular school, ahem, kentucky)

Uconn's crime is that they haven't done as good a Job as other top D1 schools as Pretending that any of their Bball players are strong academically.

Cuse and uconn are very similar programs, in fact they often recruit the very same kids.  I wouldn't be so fast to take pleasure in Uconn's misfortune... Cuse has had its own apr issues (very recently) and very well could do again. All it takes is some benchwarmers deciding to transfer to D2 or and NBA bound player to not finish a few credits.

NCAA will eventually adjust the reporting deadlines, and then they will use the two most recent apr season to determine 2013 tourney eligibility, and uconn will play.

And if the nba extends the college stay requirement to 2 years, and Drummond stays,they'll probably be in the final 4 that year too.

Anyway... This is my first and last post about this nonsense, very much looking forward to uconn and Cuse Bball this year, my guess is that both teams are going to have years to remember...
