Sitting On This Rumor Until Now: BBall program is under investigation

[TVDirector]

If Buzz is in trouble, wouldn't that follow him to VT? I would doubly hate the phony if MU gets put on probation because of crap he did.

maybe, but would explain why Buzz would hop on a second/third tier ACC team.
what does VT have to lose by taking a hit visa vie Buzz?  a year or two with one less schollie?  then they have a viable coach who might just lift them from the doldrums.

Heres what I heard specifically...

Interesting.  We all had that feeling we were doing just a bit too much to accommodate Buzz.  Let the investigation play out; the way that sounds probation is in order, though probably not a ban if MU couldn't have been aware of anything.  Only other thing to worry about is possible vacating of wins and the dollars that come with some of them.  And if, as this could imply, Larry blew the whistle, good for him and there are some apologies in order.

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark....

Buzz leaving to a low level ACC football school, 7 years @ $18M not earth shattering, and this happening so quickly.

A visible coach with a dirty record. I know that doesn't mean much, but...

We appreciate your support of Marquette Athletics, but this thread was brought to our attention and I feel compelled to comment. There are no investigations that our department is aware of, and I would hate for such unjust rumors to damage us in our search for a new head coach. But these rumors are absolutely untrue.

Thank you,

Is Ms. Josetti for real?  If so, thank you for setting some posters straight.

You want these rumors to stop you have to explain to the world why someone leaves MU for the worst job in the ACC for a paycut.  This smells of something wrong and no posts like this are going to change it.

Again, just repeating what I heard from someone. Did not hear it first hand.

[chapman]

our search for a new head coach.

Great to hear.  But no need to search, a guy who's been the three Final Fours and coached a blue blood for a decade wants to come here.

[Avenue Commons]

This thread is everything that is equally ugly and beautiful about Internet message boards all at the same time.

Rumors spread recklessly.

Compliance directors personally responding.

A black hole has no end.

From what I heard mike broeker is off to boston college so that smells like trouble to me.

We should fly our jet out to his front door!

If that is actually someone from the athletic department we now know for sure that they read scoop!

How exactly is 7 years @ $18M, a paycut?

[Tugg Speedman]

How exactly is 7 years @ $18M, a paycut?

That's 2.45/year and published reports said he made $2.8/year at MU

Danielle, if you think a direct responsive statement will stop this crowd, well, you are clearly not familiar with the inhabitants of this board! LOL

Thanks for posting!

Mods, if you're worth your salt you'll delete this per Ms. Josetti's request.

Whatever happened to cause Buzz to leave, I have to think it occurred within the last six months or so.

In the months before that, he bought the house that he had been renting for several years.  You don't do that if you are planning to leave.

I heard 3 years ago that Arizona and Wisconsin were done with recruiting Vander  after someone in his "group" requested a cash payment ($50,000?). Heard again last fall that someone in Vander's family was helped with a job (from an MU person).  Also heard some other legal trouble with Vander as well.

Has anyone official ever done something like this before in the history of this, or any other board?  If "official MU" was worried about this thread, contact the mods directly and let them deal with it.  This post is the wrong way.

So, I'm calling BS on this post.

Why? She just set the record straight. If deleted no one would know.

Even though I participated in this thread, I agree deleting this thread in the best interests of MU is the reasonable/prudent thing to do.

Her BS call on you was much more convincing.
