Good news for Puff is that they’ll just make up classes for him that only exist on paper and he won’t have to attend. Enjoy that buddy.

The impending NCAA sanctions hanging over the UA like a Sword of Damocles is obviously hurting us in this recruiting cycle.

We should have been proactive and dealt with this mess 18 months ago.

UA is NOT UNC. Just ask Puff Johnson.

At this point its difficult to realistically make the argument that we shouldn't have self sanctioned. What would have happened if we had?

1) We would have avoided the embarrassment of the Buffalo beat-down on National TV
2) We would not have the sanctions boogey-man hanging over our heads.......and screwing up our 2020 recruiting

None of your talking points are true. The sports media isn't guaranteed to be quiet, and could still hammer Arizona as the example. Just because we self-sanction doesn't mean more sanctions won't be added on. And we wouldn't be past the bad headlines (undeserved).

First of all if we would've self sanctioned it wouldn't have been for the Deandre Ayton season, so #1 is null and void.

Second of all even if we self-sanctioned we would have ZERO idea if that would serve the bloodlust that the NCAA requires. Maybe they would've been satisfied with a self-imposed postseason ban last year, maybe not, and we'd still have the sanctions boogey-man hanging over our head until guess what? The NCAA lobbied said sanctions. Us self-imposing wouldn't have sped up their timeline whatsoever. We'd still be waiting just like we are right now without self-imposing. So #2 is null and void.

Third of all, the bad headlines would've continued regardless the second we decided to retain Sean Miller. Low and behold #3 is also null and void.

Also Sean Miller doesn't cry, Roy Williams does. That's literally why we lost Puff. Not because UA isn't UNC. If that was the case we wouldn't have Josh Green & Zeke Nnaji on our roster right now.

Your entire post is bullshit. Every single word of it.

In case you haven't noticed we are already in the middle of a feeding frenzy...........and have been since Books idiocy on tape came to light.
How many negative articles/posts/tweets has the UA been subjected to over the past two years?

The continued feeding frenzy has done more damage than any self sanctioning would have ever done. If we had dealt with the Book mess proactively we would not have sanctions hanging over our head and could be telling recruits that our problems are behind us.

To be fair they are hurting us along with a mix of a few other issues that solely have to do with the 2020 recruiting class on the west coast as is, but as I detailed out in my long response to dmj, self-sanctioning wouldn't have improved our recruiting in any form of reality whatsoever, because we'd still be waiting on the NCAA to, you know, levy their actual decision on sanctions. They don't just say "ok what you self-sanctioned is good enough for us, carry on." The NCAA is ALWAYS harder on you when you literally ADMIT GUILT. Dmj is too feeble minded to understand that though.

ZERO idea??? Hardly. The vast majority of schools that self sanction don't face additional penalties....for someone who claims to be an "insider" you know very little about how the NCAA operates.

We could have self sanctioned last year.......and lost almost ZERO for it.

You have NO idea how the press would have reacted. The talking heads would have likely moved on to another target.

So you claim to KNOW that we lost Puff because Roy Cried??? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

You’re right, and I should have said “solely”.

And as you’ve pointed out, self sanctioning would do absolutely nothing to speed up the NCAA’s timeline. I can’t remember a school self imposing a punishment and the NCAA coming in a couple weeks later with their own punishment or verdict. All self sanctioning would have likely done is lost us the majority of the ‘19/20 class and we might still be sitting here wondering about ‘20/21 and beyond.

You can self sanction and still be sanctioned additionally. 8t would still be hanging over us, and the NCAA could use it as a confession of guilt.

Self sanctioning would be a horrendous strategy, and our current recruiting class clearly shows we can still recruit.

Hell Arizona self-sanctioned for buying Jamelle Horne a slice of pizza and the NCAA sanctioned us more.

It's what they do. You're either willfully ignorant to this process or you're trolling dmj. I really hope it's the latter.

And the VAST majority of schools that self sanction DON't get hit with additional sanctions. If you don't know that (or are unwilling to admit it) then you shouldn't be posting on message boards.

Self sanctioning would be beyond idiotic

Self-sanctioning should never, ever be done. Period.

And your rational argument for not proactively dealing with Books mess is??????????????
They fired Book immediately. The only way to take it further would've been to fire Sean Miller. Is that what you would've proposed?

Hell the AD even overreacted and fired Mark Phelps without having proof FFS. Right or wrong or both they certainly dealt with the messes they felt they had. Now from a PR standpoint yeah...they dropped the ball significantly there by not combatting any and all bogus reporting.

My rational argument is stated in this thread by multiple posters who know more than you do about the way things work, apparently.

I'm done with your "look at me" naysaying bullshit.

LOL, thats about the 10th time you have made that statement in the past couple of years. :lol:

My argument stands (and not very many people have made a cognizant response other than name-calling) The constant drip-drip-drip
Chinese torture of this whole mess would have been better dealt with 18 months age.

Now if Miller turns recruiting around, and the NCAA decides not to sanction us, and the press gets off our back........then I will cheerfully admit I was wrong. Which is obviously a lot more than some posters are capable of doing.

I think dmjcat just hates Nico and Josh and Zeke....because self sanctioning means we probably get none of them.

At this point I just want to ride out the storm and then dump Sean Miller after we come out the other end and get an actually decent in game coach. Granted I am probably in the minority who thinks Sean Miller is not a top 25 coach (great recruiter) who can take us where we all want to go.
