Texas A&M self-reported violation of COVID-19 shutdown. Apparently he organized workouts in a  church gym in violation of NCAA rules.

There are high crimes, and then there are misdemeanors. Both require the NCAA's attention, which can slow down the investigative process. Within the SEC, multiple sources said Texas A&M is dealing with a basketball situation that will probably wind up on the misdemeanor side of the scale—impermissible workouts at a church gym during the NCAA-mandated COVID-19 shutdown period. While A&M's alleged violation would seem to be a willful act and not the result of an honest mistake, it's also not in the realm of six-figure cash transactions to acquire players.

The school's compliance department discovered the workouts, according to sources, and A&M self-reported the violation. As a result of self-imposed sanctions, Buzz Williams's program was not allowed to start workouts this fall for several weeks. Texas A&M athletic director Ross Bjork acknowledged the situation, but declined comment beyond saying that the school is dealing with it internally and appropriately. Whether the Aggies' self-imposed sanctions are accepted by the NCAA as sufficient, or this progresses further as an infractions case, is unclear. As is their policy, NCAA officials would neither confirm nor deny an investigation of A&M's men's basketball program.[/i

Looks like we need another media car wash with Buzz's Kids

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.

You guys have no idea. The corners in that church's gym were VERY dusty.

I'm sure Buzz himself got down on his knees and swept them up.
