I hate to crib from the scout board, but....

Accepted a ticket to a brewers game.    MU self reported.

I couldn't wait to see him play. I guess I'll have to. I hope it was all inocent.

Nice start to the season.  You got to be kidding me.  Was one of the players I hoped would play some serious minutes in next few games.

Tough lesson, but good to get it out of the way early.

Any chance Buzz gets canned over this?

[Lennys Tap]

Can we expect a Cracked Sidewalks expose' by their West Coast reporter?

I do not know the circumstances, but the NCAA has some really strange rules.  The tickets could be from a student friend and the NCAA would suspend them.  I guess this is how they show their muscle!

If MU reported it, it must have been a booster. If it's the parent of student, booster. Can't do it. I remember there were issues at Arizona when Luke Walton was there as Bill had to watch how much he gave (paying for meals if they were out with the kids, flights to come visit him, etc) Luke's teammates as to not commit a violation.

It probably went along the lines of "Dude, I've got a ticket for the Brewers game, wanna come?"   How much?   "Nah, don't worry about it."    All right!     I am wondering if it was a booster. More likely a classmate/friend who got them through a parent's connections and it never occurred to JA that he was messing up.   In the big picture, mouse nuts.

So, Izzo gets a one game suspension for a secondary recruiting violation of Branden Dawson where an AAU coach is paid directly by the program by MSU as a camp coach, and where the said coach then drives recruits to a Chicago event.....and Jim Calhoun gets a three game suspension for major NCAA violations where his team is put on probration with scholarship restrictions (but who finds creative ways to open up scholarships when a top rated center becomes suddenly available)...and Juan gets three games for accepting and self-reporting a baseball game ticket.

Is there any question why the NCAA is so ineffectual and college sports is so effed up?
