Yup... We expected as much, especially after ND football ruling the other week. I was surprised that we only owe the NCAA less than $1mil per UL President Post-hole (Postel) and AD Tyra. So no court for us since it wouldn't be worth it.
It is what it is. Crazy how these types of actions would be the cause for the first vacancy of a title however. Will be interesting what happens with the NCAA and Baylor (or Mich St. If things there were actively being hidden) where substantially more egregious actions took place with potential administration being involved with cover-ups.
Next stop is Brian Bowen situation. Oh it's fun being a fan sometimes... Huge take-away is to never be honest and never cooperate with the NCAA in the slightest. Also make sure if you do something against the rules that you allow for regular student participation.
Today has been an interesting day to say the least. The first Yahoo Sports! article this morning, and now we two new ones late tonight. Sean Miller is fucked... Tonight's article (below) is quite the read! Welcome to the club of misery everyone, we (Louisville) had fun, now it is time for everyone else. We have beer, bourbon, and cocktails ready for you all at the door!
Black market diaries: Emails in hoops corruption case detail inner workings of sport's underbelly
Jesus just saw this scandal on the news, at what point does college athletics get rid of the NCAA and just pay the fucking athletes that are generating the billions
These Universities are fucking crazy for putting themselves thru this shit, there isn't anything the NCAA does that they cannot do for themselves. It's absolutely shameful for the kids that will not go on to play pro ball and help generate billions and can't take a dime. Burn it all fucking down i say and build it back with a system that works for all parties involved.
Some decent games to start off the tourney last night. It's amazing how much of the media expected UCLA to beat the Bonnies. Bonaventure has 1 game over it's past 20 or so. UCLA was always mediocre this year. But i guess even people in the sports media are just picking based on school names.
My two colleges URI and Iona are somehow in the same pod for the 2nd year in a row. URI vs OK is the first game on Thursday actually, I think we sorta lucked out with that one as OK has been miserable for the past 2 months or so. Still, URI has not been playing great recently so i'm not as confident as i would have been a couple weeks ago even though OK looks like a very good matchup on paper.
