Very interesting. Save a few million dollars and repair the damaged image of the university. Seems like an easy choice to me

Not sure why anyone would want to play for this guy.  I'm no U of L know it all, but it appears he has brought nothing but negative press for the university, especially if they vacate the national championship.  Just look at the guy ...

Ultimately that might be Indiana's crux to return to the prominence of college ball. Too many play in the gray area or just outright cheat to get recruits. If Indiana isn't on the same level playing field its results will be less (on the average).

I'm hoping we can have Sean Miller like recruiting success here at Indiana. If we do, we will be in the conversation on a regular basis.

Picture of JaQuan Lyle with his new wheels that he put on Instagram just after committing to Louisville. Big smile, "L" hand signal, and new car:

Pitino knows the weight of his assistants but had zero knowledge of anything shading going on? I don't buy that. He might not have known exactly what was going on but he had some idea.

There is zero chance he didn't know

That was after his lap dances also . He must have put some miles on that car with all his stops. Helluva talent though.

Angry fans are calling for Pitinos job. That could really help us. 

Not as many as you would think! Most fans attitudes down here are 'How dare you!'. So the ignorance of the fanbase. They assume that they will win the appeal because it's only a matter of impermissible benefits. The issue is 'what' the benefits were. They can't seem to comprehend how repugnant the charges.

ESPN is the only outlet reporting additional scholarship bans. I can't find that wording in any other article, but most of them reference the scholarship bans from the self-imposed sanctions.

If that is the way they choose. I imagine they will wait til the end when Pitino is close to retiring before they burn those.

The NCAA should not be the Morality police.... the press conference she stated it wasn't about the money but the acts and how dirty it was.... That is out of their scope in my opinion.
The punishment for that part is Bad press, people always being able to hold that against them etc... I don't believe the NCAA has any right to use those specifics in its judgement or its case...

Seven kids under the age of 18yrs basically chided and forced into participating. That's a legality issue. And yes maybe they should be judging morality issues. What would you want done if your son or daughter was put into this situation. I do find it hard to believe Slick Rick had no knowledge of any of it. Especially after the findings that at least one other asst coach knew based on what 2 recruits reported.

And Slick Rick has often been described as a micro manager so that makes it even harder to believe he didn't know.

This article doesn't only pertain to basketball but Rutgers is whining about their share of the B1G money pie.

Has anyone else done this 1000 piece puzzle. It will look good on the wall glued and framed

The writer has sour grapes on a contract that was the best thing ever for Rutgers. He forgets adding this lousy athletic school certainly didn't increase the prestige in any revenue sport he now shares. Who got the better deal?

[TheWatShot]

Rutgers should be thankful they aren't in the MAC, if the MAC would even want them.
