The NCAA is so bad at what it does, it would have fouled any investigations up anyway

“Just you wait for the end of the summer NCAA violations”

How is this the NCAA’s fault?  Legal decision and as we have said often, the NCAA has no subpoena power, so without this type of aid, not a damn thing they can do.

Now, what I hope people aren’t saying but I know they are is “might as well cheat”.  At some point you have to stand for something.

Why wouldn’t you cheat? They clearly don’t stand for anything at all. Look at the coaches who do cheat. Just signing top recruiting classes left and right. And how do you win? By adding talent.

What is ‘cheating’ is about as relevant as ‘what’s a chicos’

It’s not the NCAAs fault. The entire thing was a waste of time and effort by the feds, and will do nothing to change what is happening in collegiate athletics. People who thought this would mean something were wrong.

Why wouldn’t I, because they vow to follow the rules, the school has a moral compass at times, etc, etc. 

And yes, as also shown many times schools do go down.  Louisville, USC, UCLA, etc etc. 

There are schools that win without the best recruiting classes.

The Autumn Equinox is September 23rd.  Cheeks and his Digital Doopleganger promised us the NCAA will deliver the hammer by then. Their credibility is on the line after all.

We will wag our finger at the masses from our moral high ground as the
philistines play their ‘winning basketball’.  Fools , we play the way that the mighty NCAA intended

Can you imagine being Will Wade in a business being caught on tape giving a bribe, then suspended for lying, then reinstated, and then being allowed to keep your job and cleared by the HR committee?  Scott Monarch got whacked for lying about a t-shirt he gave out a week early.

We promised something we cannot possibly know or promise would happen?  LOL.  No, we pointed out that it wasn't the end of Summer despite you suggesting it was.....hell, it wasn't even Labor Day when you made that prediction.

No, in fact I didn't promise a thing.....here is what I said   https://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=56557.msg1148190#msg1148190

Please correct your unfactual statement or your credibility will be on the line.   :D

The NCAA did kind of say this...

https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/at-least-six-college-basketball-programs-will-be-notified-of-major-ncaa-violations-by-this-summer/

So there's that.

Yes, but what does that have to do with this Federal Judge denying the NCAA access to evidence?  That is what I was commenting on as not the NCAA's fault.

Don't be so self-important. "They" in my quote are the NCAA, not you and DD. We all knew from the start the NCAA was looking for their out like Miami, UNC, etc. And now they have it...it's a film flam organization.

Cheeks I assume is me.

Promised is what you said I did.

Their, assume was me and my digital doppelgänger.

That is what I responded.  I made no such promise.  I correctly stated when Summer was over, which wasn’t beginning of August when you were lining for it.

Just be ethical, baby.  Winning while cheating, why do people get off on that?  What’s the point?

"Their" credibility on the line is the NCAA.  As in ethics.

So do you still believe that 6+ major programs will be notified of violations?

You keep saying it was only about lying about a t-shirt.......

Who would have thought our alma mater is a member of the NCAA and that organization provides massive opportunities for hundreds of thousands of student athletes each year.  Sounds like gubmint failed on this one....who’s would have thought there are gubmint homers in the world.

Charades.

As annoying chop/hack golfers at the local muni like to say...”balls in the air” on Nov 5, 2019 (2k Classic).

What can a clean program do except try to beat the living @$&% out of the cheating @$$ $h1€bag$?!

And make no mistake...we do things right here...you got a problem with it? There’s something wrong with you. We will win. We will win big. And we will win big..honorably.

What doth it profit a man if he gain the whole world, but lose his soul in the process?
Zenyatta has a lot....a lot... of ground to make up. She gets there from here she’d be a super horse......what’s this.....Zenyatta hooked to the grandstand side....Zenyatta flying on the outside....this....is...un-belieeeeeevable!...looked impossible at the top of the stretch...
