The NCAA has no backbone

The NCAA is an absolute joke!  5 level I allegations reduced to jaywalking.

Good thing they didn't self report text messages.

This doesn't even appear to be a wrist-slap. It's more like the NCAA saying "you got slapped on the wrist once before...at some point in the distant past, right? Sorry, poor baby, that must have been so traumatic, here is some ice cream!" 

Beyond pathetic.

uh, no. they got nothing except  a weak "you better not do that again". "NCAA’s Independent Accountability Review Process is set to announce Wednesday that Kansas’ five Level I allegations had been downgraded to a Level II case and that the program had received a three-year probation."

The NCAA right now. They can't even get UNC for paper classes.

As expected

Miles Bridges has another warrant out for him. Imagine that, another ex player for Izzo, who's been in trouble with the law. 

Izzo and MSU are trash!

Ex-Memphis player and father of a 4* recruit Billy Richmond says the NIL at Memphis isn't very good. That certainly confirms why Givens ended up selecting LSU.

This article is ripping the NCAA (rightfully so) for being inconsistent and weak. He also points out there is no benefit to working with them if caught in anything. The best thing to do is to fight. If only IU had done that.

He calls the NCAA a fraud. He's correct.

Another article saying more of the same:

OSU and its fans are understandably upset:

Kentucky ... lol.

Will they ever learn?

(and IU as the seventh best team in the B1G is some self-hating imo)

What?  No Colorado?  I figured some Coach Prime love would spill over into hoops.

7th is probably pretty realistic as of now. Plenty of room to grow though and they'll have plenty of opportunities early on to prove where they belong.

As for Kentucky, Cals Kentucky teams succeed only when they have really good guards. Wagner is that guy. All of Cals bad team at UK have been lead by guys like Ryan Harrow or Devin Askew. But when he's had dudes like John Wall, Brandon Knight, De'Aaron Fox... They've been good. Even just a steady point guard could possibly be enough.. His strategy of one and dones was without a doubt hurt by the COVID extra year and the new transfer rules. His freshmen are no longer just playing other 19-20 year old, they've been playing 22, 23 and 24 year olds.
