GT did make the mistake of cooperating with the NCAA, something that Kansas won't be doing.

NCAA has enough evidence to bury Kansas without cooperation. That's why Kansas is fighting this in the court of public opinion - they can't fight the facts.prh wrote:GT did make the mistake of cooperating with the NCAA, something that Kansas won't be doing.

For what? What rules did Arizona break?CalStateTempe wrote:So if that’s what GT did how bad is it gonna get for us?
The coach actively tried to undermine the NCAA’s investigation. That’s always gonna get you the hammer (see: USC w/ Reggie Bush).CalStateTempe wrote:So if that’s what GT did how bad is it gonna get for us?
Maybe somebody did, but the assistant coach didn’t.prh wrote:GT did make the mistake of cooperating with the NCAA, something that Kansas won't be doing.
Totally unrelated activities. Here is the NCAA on GT:CalStateTempe wrote:So if that’s what GT did how bad is it gonna get for us?
I believe that there is confidence in the program, though I also believe we could get a one year ban. We will certainly get probation and a scholarship reduction.PHXCATS wrote:I was told but a trustworthy source that no post season ban is expected.
This line of reasoning won't be taken into account by the NCAA. KU fans have said the same thing. It didn't break the NCAA when Arizona didn't play in the tournament. It didn't break the NCAA when Louisville, the largest revenue generator in the sport, didn't play in the tournament. No team is above receiving a post-season ban and fans who think their program is "too big to fail" are letting narcissism get the best of them.PHXCATS wrote:Keep in mind how the amount of interest and money that will be lost if there was a post season ban. The PAC-12 and NCAA would lose a lot of money. See how much the PAC-12 and NCAA lost this year in Vegas.
I will add to what I meant by this. I truly believe there is not enough to do a post season ban. With Louisville, with what we will have in Kansas, what we had with USC and Ohio State football etc was actual proof. We dont have actual proof here. So the PAC-12 and NCAA wont want to do a post season ban as it will result in millions of lost dollars when there is no proof to please the media and uninformed fans of other programs.YoDeFoe wrote:I believe that there is confidence in the program, though I also believe we could get a one year ban.

We, at a minimum, need to push very hard on that point. We aren't very comparable to GT.YoDeFoe wrote:One last point about GT vs Arizona...
I view Arizona's potential violations as likely to be less than GT's (no evidence of impermissible benefits), and therefore the punishment for Arizona ought to be below GT's. Hopefully, that means less than a one year ban (zero). TBD.

Titus and Sam Vecenie were on One Shinning Pod this week talking about the scandal and THANK GOD they noted how wild it is that the media wanted Miller fired on the spot but are having a collective "let's wait and see" moment for Bill Self. "Who will be the brave journalist to say Bill Self should be fired?"
Except they say it's not wild at all - Bill Self is a good ol' boy who everyone in the media loves and Sean Miller flew too close to the sun, picking up top recruiting classes year after year and pissing off every major coach in the process, they say. We've heard the same from some of our members here (shoutout 97).
I wonder if these media members are aware of their lack of journalistic ethics or if they even care.
Also, they love seeing Dickie V vs Arizona fans on Twitter and how deep Dick is up his own ass.
Agreed on the above. I'm hopeful that the media aspect isn't a driving factor as the NCAA has largely stayed out of the spotlight and has simply handed out the NOAs / punishments without press conferences or fan fare. That's to our advantage if they maintain that strategy.TheCat wrote:The punishment will fall into two camps. 1. - If you got an advantage in recruiting (see KU, NCSt) and if you 2. had an assistant involved in steering a player after they had signed to a financial advisor (see AZ, USC, Ok ST.). Auburn is an animal to itself. For sure the second one with the Rifleman but lied about their self inflicted secret probation.
I think the NCAA will deal with the first one more harshly. It strikes at the heart of being a amateur and disadvantages others vs someone making a money grab.
I think the publicity against Ariz will be a problem. I think a bigger problem for the NCAA will be to treat us different then USC etc.
They are also addressing in that order. I think Sean will be suspended for 10 games because he failed to control the actions of Book. I think their will be scholarship reductions but think a tourney ban is iffy. The only thing Sean did was fail to control Book and that will be the same punishment for the other guys that have an assistant involved.

I don't hate Kansas for their response. It's a smart one with the NCAA. The NCAA thrives on schools accepting punishment, and isn't well situated to fight or litigate.YoDeFoe wrote:Agreed on the above.

Kansas, however, is going all out with a media blitz trying to drag the NCAA into fighting in the media instead of in the courtroom (or whatever NCAA equivalent). If they're successful in turning this into a trial by ESPN, we'll have the most to lose by that turn in process. That's a big reason why I'm so inflamed about it.

The difference is they have bank records, wiretaps, etc. from Adidas that leaves no doubt that Self was in the know.
