Title: UCONN Basketball Sanctions handed down today
Post by: Buchec18 on February 22, 2011, 10:30:48 AM: There is a 3 PM ET news conference in which the NCAA will be handing down penalties to the UCONN basketball program. Will this have any immediate effect, maybe for the game on Thursday?

From Sportscenter's Twitter:

Oh, they care about cheating. But only if you are Prairie View A&M, Hampton, or some other small school. If you are a large institution with a big following? Yea.... don't care.

It will be interesting to see how the Big East schedules UCONN's first three games next season.

Title: NCAA bans Calhoun coaching UC for 3 BE games (not our game),plus other penalties
Post by: HouWarrior on February 22, 2011, 03:35:08 PM: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=6146656

ESPN reports NCAA has upped the sanctions from those self imposed by the school, incl Calhoun.."failed to monitor the program and failed to create an atmosphere promoting rules compliance."...

This will mostly effect future years(3 years probation), and there are no post season bans.
