The current NCAA Men's Basketball Oversight Committee does not appear to have a Big 12 representative. KU could be in a little trouble.Kung Wu say, man who read woman like book, prefer braille!Comment

This is my favorite quote from the article. It concerns the lack of *ahem* gonads the NCAA has.
"Where there is smoke, there is often an NCAA investigator saying, “There sure is a lot of smoke.”"Comment

The Adidas guys needed to drop a bag or two on some non-basketball players. Then the benefit would be something available to all students, not just the athletes.The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.
We like to cut down nets and get sized for championship rings.Comment

Listen to the number of questionable players at KU. It is deplorable.

"Call records link Arizona's Sean Miller, Creighton's Greg McDermott to Brian Bowen II's handler" - ESPN
By Mark Schlabach and Paula Lavigne
Posted: 10/28/18, 6:00 PM CT
"During Brian Bowen II's recruitment in the late spring of 2017, his handler, Christian Dawkins, made dozens of telephone calls to various assistant college basketball coaches courting the player -- one of the last available five-star prospects.
In the final weeks before Bowen II's father agreed to accept $100,000 from Adidas to ensure that his son signed with the University of Louisville, Dawkins also made and received calls with phone numbers associated with at least two Division I head coaches -- Arizona's Sean Miller and Creighton's Greg McDermott....
Gassnola, who was a cooperating witness for the government during the corruption trial, testified that he gave $15,000 to a friend of Ayton's family to deliver to his mother while Ayton was in high school. In a text message Gassnola sent to Kansas coach Bill Self, Gassnola expressed disappointment that he couldn't help deliver Ayton to the Jayhawks."

Looks like NCAA finally found a whipping boy they can punish for receiving improper benefits.
Nick Emery of BYU allegedly received over $12,000 in benefits from boosters, so now they'll be vacating wins, paying fines, reduced scholarship, etc. LOL. The NCAA is so predictable.
BYU, haven't you cats learned anything? Tell your boosters to keep their money. Let the Uniform/Shoe providers do all the dirty work so the coach and university can maintain plausible deniability.

Not related to the current "FBI investigation", but the penalty imposed by the NCAA is pretty tough. Sounds like a precedent to me:
"NCAA committee on infractions penalizes BYU in Nick Emery infractions case" - ESPN
Myron Medcalf, ESPN Staff Writer
Posted: 11/09/18, 2:49 PM CT
"Due to standout guard Nick Emery's involvement with boosters, BYU must now vacate 47 wins and forfeit a scholarship, the NCAA's committee on infractions announced Friday.
The school announced it will appeal the ruling.
The committee on infractions, per its report, penalized BYU after it discovered four boosters had given Emery nearly $12,000 in impermissible benefits -- including trips, meals and the use of a car.
Emery, who is not named in the report, withdrew from school before the 2017-18 season after BYU acknowledged his involvement in the case. Emery, who averaged 13.1 points per game during the 2016-17 season, has re-enrolled but is suspended for the first nine games of this season.
Emery participated in 47 wins between the 2015-16 and 2016-17 seasons. Every win will be vacated unless BYU wins its appeal. In addition to receiving two years' probation, the school was also forced to disassociate with one of the boosters and pay a $5,000 fine, both self-imposed by the university...."

The NCAA is a bona fide monopoly so they feel pretty immune to outside pressure to convict their favored revenue streams. When will lawyers ever give themselves less power or money?Comment

Not just lawyers, ISASO -- also politicians, bureaucrats and regulators, climate scientists, "Power 5" colleges and their administrators, etc. Basically, any group that has power and money or considers itself somehow elite. It's called human nature, unfortunately. -
Anyone who puts climate scientists into the same unsavory category as politicians and P5 administrators doesn't know very much about climate scientists.
