Kolek planning to go pro
Bingo.Just another hill for Cheeks to die on.
Yeah, we'll just ignore the major punishments against USC, Kentucky, Penn State, Michigan, Louisville, etc, etc, etc
The NCAA is worthless
Yeah, these programs are really suffering. Cheating doesn't pay, guys!Keep shilling for the man, Cheeks.
They might even lose a year in the NCAA tournament. It took Louisville almost two years to be ranked number 1 again after that. The NCAA is incapable of policing its members
We all know the NCAA is not perfect. But you do know Louisville lost a Championship and is looking at even more serious violations and sanctions?
If it were, then no punishments would be handed out....but many have. Because you don't like the timing or the fact their hands are often tied because of jurisdiction and lack of subpoena power is fine, but they aren't worthless. Making such a claim is...well...worthless.
Yes, the fans and alum are mourning that loss and getting rid of all memorabilia of that season. Recruits have avoided the school in droves because of it. If you think they “lost” a championship, I’ve got a bridge to sell you.As for more sanctions, I’m sure they’ll never recover. NCAA sanctions historically cripple programs for decades. It’s often a great deterrent and other programs look at the carnage make sure something like that doesn’t happen at their institution.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
The NCAA isn't worthless. I quite enjoy college sports and they are the body responsible for managing them. Without the NCAA, college sports wouldn't be what they are today. Saying their worthless is like saying Wojo doesn't deserve any credit when the team is doing well.The NCAA also has shortcomings and can be improved. Denying this and deflecting blame is like saying Wojo is the perfect coach and is beyond reproach.
We bitch about the timing because Stan Wilcox, the head of the NCAA infraction investigations, promised that the violations would be issued before the end of summer (and before the start of the season). Instead, seven of the alleged implicated schools are in Pomeroy’s Top 30...and that’s not counting the Nike schools who also had allegations or Creighton. Incredibly, the cartel member schools with the most egregiously alleged behaviors like Self, Wade and Miller, still gainfully employ, promote and defend these loyal street soldiers.
Easy on cheeks. He’s been getting paid a lot of money for the past 45 years working in the sports field. He knows.
Does that matter at all anymore?
Crean sucks
How’s Jayce Johnson doing this year?And no, 45 years ago I was living in South America and attending school as a child before moving back to the USA.
Jayce is awful. And cmon cheeks, we all know you are a 75 year old man still grinding it out in “the sports business”
Not awful...your expertise exposed long ago on this.[/quoteNope. Not convincing anyone yet. Keep trying old man
The goal isn’t to kill them, Pakuni. USC still hasn’t recovered in football. Penn State was in the wilderness for years. Etc. If people don’t think ripping down that Louisville title doesn’t sting you all are out to lunch. Same for Michigan’s Final Four.I’m sorry they didn’t castrate each player and disembowel the coaches / boosters...but they paid and some still haven’t recovered.
Nope. Not convincing anyone yet. Keep trying old man
You obviously have never met a Louisville fan. They hate the NCAA and want to sue both the NCAA and their own BoT over the lost Title. It is a huge deal to UofL fans and UK fans remind them of it constantly, which makes it even worse for them.As for the program rebounding quickly, that will happen when there is so much money and great facilities at some of these programs. The NCAA can't squash UofL into NJIT.
LOL. Keep convincing everyone here JJ is awful, you are doing an amazing job of it. To the point half the board here wants JJ to start now. Yup, you nailed this one.
USC hasn’t recovered because they hired Lane Kiffin, Steve Sarkisian and Clay Helton. Penn State didn’t even have a losing season and won a Big Ten title 5 whole years after the events that should have ended their football program.
