It's way harder than you think.  IP addresses bounce around like popcorn.  It's the exception when you find a match and can (relatively) definitively say two accounts are the same.

Pretty sure half you monkeys on typewriters are in a room in Russia somewhere.
Yep many ways to get by the IP address

I started this post because of the Pitt dumpster fire article. The greedy jumpers have had firings, arrests and vacated wins.  Most of their basketball programs are a mess. In essence, they have become football schools to the detriment of their basketball programs.

The NBE has had relatively smooth sailing, winning a national championship on the clear. Georgetown was the one school griping but their excuse went away with the Nova win. They woke up and got rid of JT3.  Hell, even DePaul got a new arena.

As to MU, not to rehash, but when you impart extrajudicial academic standards higher than the NCAAs, don’t allow in a NCAA and originally MU cleared player, restrict JUCOs, suspend your coach for a tee shirt given to a recruit a week before he started school, one would expect a program drop in talent.  Buzz deserves a lot of blame but it is certainly shared.  But like the schools who left, that was not the MU way.

That said, the Board made the tough calls and MU is on its way back.  Buzz was a great coach but he also poured gas on the Marquette dumpster fire at the time, of which MUBB was just a part.
From what I recalled either MU took care of it or NCAA would have , and the coach made it worse by lying.

UConn won a men's championship in 2014, yet last year they were under .500 for the first time since Jim Calhoun's first year.  I was shocked to see that in this season's Athlon Sports preview, they didn't rate a full page writeup.  Their women's team is a perennial winner, but no longer faces any real challenges when playing in conference.  How long is that sustrightble?  So, Natty or not, UConn is a loser.


UConn was sub-500 because they lost like 6 players for the season before the season even began.
