Tarik Black... PLEASE come to Marquette!!!

[CUSA_NEWS]

Ummmm last time I checked marquette_g,

The NCAA still has yet to provide any evidence that Rose actually cheated, only that he was deemed ineligible due to non-compliance (not answering inquiry letter sent to his Chicago residence while he <pay attention now> resided in Memphis during his collegiate career. Innocent until proven guilty used to be the American way.

Also I'd like to add this:

                                        Corey Magette. Enough said....

Looking at the storied history of Memphis violations, do you really expect ANYONE to believe that D-Rose was clean?

CUSA - get real.

I am confused how Corey Magette is the hammer in this argument.

C_USA:

Why are you here?  To gloat about Black?  congratulations - by all account the kid is a stud.  Now, having said that:

Marquette is no longer in Conference USA, MU does not play Memphis on a yearly basis, and no one cares about Memphis here in Milwaukee.  I understand somewhat why that G'Town fan, Hoyasincebirth, is here - at least that is Big East competition, but it is unfathomable to me why a Memphis fan is even on an MU forum.

Why would spend time researching a guy when you can't even figure out how to spell his name correctly?

Not quite the same situation.


Hasta luego.

I guess what our friend from Memphis is saying is that since the NCAA let Duke slide for an alleged violation, they should have let Memphis slide too.  Interesting that this isn't really a denial of the allegation.  A tip for Memphis:  when you hire a coach that has a history of cheating (and of getting final four appearances stripped) you won't get a lot of breaks from the NCAA.

I think they made a great hire with Pastner.  Although others might be uninterested in Memphis, I am interested to see how Pastner does (and if he uses Memphis as a stepping stone).

Actually he does have a valid argument with Maggette and the NCAA playing favorites with a program like Duke. That being said, Memphis' history may have played a bigger part in why they were so severely punished and a program like Duke that is seen as squeaky clean did not.

Here's a good article summarizing the issue from Sportsline: http://www.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/5881996/16724605)

And a timeline I found at Yahoo Sports by Dan Wetzel

April 1997 to August 1997: Kansas City summer basketball coach Myron Piggie makes cash payments to high school player Corey Maggette totaling $2,000. The money comes from a revenue pool that includes donations to Piggie from professional sports agents Kevin Poston and Jerome Stanley.

Nov. 12, 1997: Maggette signs a national letter of intent with Duke.

October 1998 to March 1999: Maggette averages 10.6 points per game to help Duke (37-2) reach the national championship game, which Duke loses to Connecticut.

June 30, 1999: Maggette is selected 13th in the NBA draft.

April 13, 2000: A federal grand jury in Missouri hands down an 11-count indictment of Piggie, which details the payments to Maggette (along with players at three other schools). By NCAA statutes the payments compromise Maggette's amateur status. Maggette initially denies receiving any money.

April 18, 2000: The NCAA's Jane Jankowski says: "We will have to determine if Duke, in fact, had an ineligible player in the NCAA tournament. And, if so, what monies would have to be returned for use of an ineligible player."

May 23, 2000: Piggie works a plea bargain and admits making the payments.

July 12, 2000: Maggette comes clean and admits he received the cash from Piggie.

Spring 2001: Duke hands over all its information to the NCAA, according to John Burness, Duke's senior vice president for public affairs.

May 30, 2001: Piggie is sentenced to 37 months in federal prison for fraud.

January 2003: Piggie is paroled from federal prison in Arkansas.

On a side note...your name CUSA-News, is well, lame.  We all know that no real news comes out of that conference, and when it does they do all they can to hide it from the public.
