(2018) SG Romeo Langford - INDIANA HOOSIERS

[Baltimore Hoosier 986]

All th allegations are out there but to this point has the NCAA even commented? If and when any penalties are ever levied on any of the programs involved, Romeo and the upcoming class will probabaly be long gone.. How long did it take the NCAA to do NOTHING about the UNC cheating scandal?

[Hoosier1984 1,603]

From ESPN (Kansas playing the victim game)
Kansas released a statement later Tuesday: "Earlier today, we learned that the University of Kansas is named as a victim in a federal indictment. The indictment does not suggest any wrongdoing by the university, its coaches or its staff. We will cooperate fully with investigators in this matter. Because this is an active investigation, it is not appropriate for us to comment further at this time."

They have convened a blue-ribbon committee to study the issue and conclude that it's outside the NCAA's purview.....ok, that was my commentary. What he actually said: "

Emmert noted that the formation of an independent Commission on College Basketball in October intended to provide recommendations on cleaning up the sport.

"With these latest allegations, it's clear this work is more important now than ever," the NCAA president said."

It’s not about the NCAA to this point. The schools that have been named haven’t been able to land recruits since this came out due to the uncertainty. Kansas will be the test, but this scandal is why the Langford’s dropped UL which is where he goes if this never came out.

Well, clearly they know the drill - Deny, deny, deny and never self report.

I must say, playing the victim card is a novel approach. Stupid, but novel nonetheless.

I wonder if someone from the English dept. will let the athletic dept know that "victim" doesn't mean what they think it means.

Seems appropriate.

[TheWatShot 15,018]

I still can't quite put into words how much it infuriates me that we tore down our program over excessive phone calls from a coach we hired to avoid the wrath of the NAACP while other programs are paying players and just flipping the bird at anyone and everyone while continuing to pay players and rewarding their coaches with contract extensions.

[hoopsta007 439]

Poor old victim Kansas.  Trying to run a clean program but these unknown guys keep paying their players to go to Kansas.  Nothing to see here....Riiiiight.......

The NCAA has been told by the FBI that they are not to do any investigation until the FBI one is done.  So the thing is that the FBI will have already produced facts prior to the NCAA going into it.....which means that it's going to be hard for them to hide their heads in the sand like they did with UNC.

[TheWatShot 15,018]

My memory is a bit foggy on this one, but didn't Kansas conduct some sort of internal investigation when this got started last fall, drag it out to make it look like they were actually looking for rule-breaking, then proudly announce they found nothing wrong?

Yep.  I like his thinking! IU is the only choice that REALLY makes sense.

Seems appropriate.

It's always appropriate to use a line from the greatest movie ever!
