Disconcerting, but we'll see what it is. No word on how severe it was.

Looks like they got called out on something and are trying to get in front of it. Just hope its something minor, like TC was doing with calling a recruit on "accident" the wrong day or something.
I've heard from a few people it is something extremely minor / stupid like a t-shirt to a recruit. More of an oversight than a violation but a violation nonetheless.
Well, you don't want to commit these, but it might be a simple secondary violation. Reporting these are fairly routine and the NCAA essentially accepts them without consequence unless they happen too often. Madison committed one during its recruitment of Russell Wilson...
Key words/phrase: "MAY HAVE" "POSSIBLE"
Buzz, Larry, and the MUBB staff are not stupid to violate the rules.
Enlund's all over this she-ite!!!!
I think it's because Buzz e-mailed Ners outside of the open recruiting period.

Well, the players who were ticketed for being underage in a bar were not of age...
Amazing, Walker must be signed the "MU Negative News" beat...

Yes, correct. UNDERAGE DRINKING... WON'T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN?!
But his BREATHLESS follow up regarding DJO, who WAS of age, was so very Ed R. Murrow. Hack.
Big time schools make recruiting violations.

I don't even click on that site for anything anymore. Why should they even get ad revenue from me? It's such a joke.
We can call these stories Badger Bait. Cause you know it is going to rile some of those tools up something fierce

This is, I believe, the 2nd infraction in MU history, and the 2nd one reported by MU to the NCAA. That's the best possible way for these to get reported. It indicates institutional control. First instance was providing a player with a campus parking permit outside of regular distribution to students, I believe.
Didn't Majerus give Brookfield Central player Chris Seter and a friend a ride from a gymnasium back in the late 1980's and report that one?

You mean in his POS car, that American Motors Gremlin held together with Proxmire and Lucey bumper stickers?
It was a Pacer.
You guys are soft - down here in sec land we report it whenever a prospect from another school gets a t-shirt, even though our school probably actually paid a third party to give it to him!
All in jest. It's great to belong to a university with such a clean history, and so many pages are added to the NCAA infraction book so often that eventually you are bound to have a minor, unintended violation. Unless we hear it's something more, no worries.

If I'm not mistaken, MU self-reported a minor violation after Crean, very early in his tenure, attended an unsanctioned high school all-star game or something of that sort. Nothing further came of it.
Hopefully this is something as meaningless as that.

Since when has been being awesome an NCAA violation?
ESPN picked it up. Looks worse when they add in Cottingham's resignation due to mishandling of "two cases of alleged sexual assault involving unidentified athletes."

I was never big on the "the JS is anti-Marquette" notion, but I do find it interesting that they'd post a story like this but have nothing to say about Mayo's reinstatement.

Kind of a cheap shot since presumably one has nothing to do with the other.
With phrases like "may have" and "not major" (from Paint Touches), I think we're ok. Glad Larry and Co. are being proactive as well so we don't get burned. It might be an ill-timed text, a fan tweeting a recruit, maybe Buzz pulled a Pearl and had a recruit over for brats which is a violation but only becomes a big deal if you decide to lie about it.

Does MU have to inform the media about this? They just asked for a lot of speculative bad press. Why not wait to the issue is resolved and report what it was actually about.

Has Mayo actually been reinstated? All we know is Mark Miller says he will be. No word from Buzz, no word from Mayo, no word from MU. If I was the J-S I'd sit on it too.

ESPN didn't "pick it up" in the sense that one of their people went out, sourced & reported the story. The story actually came across on the AP Wire and simply "fed through" to ESPN. The story itself was very likely written by the local AP writer in Milwaukee... a person who we can assume is probably a UW grad.

Yes, because a writer who basically writes up a release issued by the university clearly is against that university.
I'm not close enough to the situation to know if Walker or the JS is "against" or "for" Marquette, but these kinds of posts are just silly.
It's news. It was released by the university itself. The short story includes no rampant speculation.
Don't blame the messenger.

No rampant speculation, but plenty of completely irrelevant stuff like "this news comes on the heels of TJ Taylor's transfer and Todd Mayo's suspension," both of which have exactly nothing to do with the current news.

Might as well throw in the latest on the Mars rover then, too, since that has as much to do with a secondary recruiting violation as TJ Taylor being homesick.

That kind of stuff is always added on to the end of a news story. It's relevant because it is recent news about the basketball program. Seriously, I have no idea why people bitch about this kind of stuff.

Understand. My use of "picked it up" basically meant they put the story on their website.
I found it interesting that on the radio this morning the story turned plural. I honestly don't rememember which station I had on, but they definately said violations...
If your radio station is simply going to read snippits out of the newspaper for your news reports, at least read it correctly.

How are they related? Alleged sexual assaults from 2 years ago committed by players are a related incident to an asssistant coach giving an article of clothing to a recruit? 1 is as serious as it gets. The other is as minor as it gets. There is not a single person who was involved in both incidents.

I thought you were implying that Cottingham's "Resignation" was not connected with the sexual assault incidents. My apologies.
this is great, the ncaa watches these piddly little b.s. things like a hawk to assert their "authority" while 15 tricked out cadilac escalades drive by with colege ballers in them, window closed, big clouds of s :o :omoke belching out bouncing down the road to the tune cop killa and no problems

His father was head of the AFL/CIO in Milwaukee.
Listen, we're perfectly fine if all we did was create a totally BS class and steer players to it. Just as long as we make sure non-atheletes take the class, the NCAA can't do a thing apparently.

Close. He was national secretary-treasurer of the United Automobile Workers. And that was when the UAW had lots of power.
