The University of Arizona was served with nine allegations of misconduct, five of which are classified as Level I violations, in the Notice of Allegations that the NCAA sent to the school on Oct. 21, The Athletic has learned. The Level I allegations, which fall in the most serious category, include a lack of institutional control and failure to monitor by the university; a lack of head coach control by men’s basketball coach Sean Miller; and a lack of head coach control by Augie Busch, the women’s swimming and diving coach.

The details of the NOA were included in a letter to the NCAA from Arizona’s outside counsel, Paul Kelly, requesting that the school’s infractions case be referred to the newly created Independent Accountability Resolution Process. On Friday, Arizona released a statement acknowledging it had received a Notice of Allegations but declined to reveal its contents, and a university spokesperson declined comment for this story.

[quote="Moose" post=400261]Guess the swimming and diving investigation held things up :whistle:[/quote]

Womens swim team deserves a loss of a few scholarships and hopefully a few years no NCAA swim tournament.
That would really teach U of A a lesson.
 
This is second hand info, but I heard the recruitment of Thornton Melon was the genesis of the investigation.

So the swimming and diving team will get the "death penalty". Miller and the hoops program will lose a scholarship for 2 years and won't be allowed to participate in the postseason this year. Miller will have to sit out the 1st half of their first game.
 
As punishment for Arizona's infractions, UNLV was banned from the tournament for 2 years.
 
We’ve been hearing about this story for feels like 2 years. Nothing happens. Recruits cycle in and out. No worries. NCAA is a joke.

Does the "death penalty" mean the diving team has to dive into an empty pool?
 
It still amazes me that Pitino was basically blackballed for the same thing and Miller has stuck around for so long. I know that Pitino had other issues, but how much hypocrisy is there in the NCAA and college basketball.
 
This is also really unfair to coaches running clean programs (ie. CMA). Shame on NCAA for having this drag out for years. Unreal how coaches are still coaching like nothing happened. AD's are to blame as well.
 
These allegations should result in the school presidents taking action. The ADs in these powerhouse schools are basically flunkies when compared to the coaches. However we know that that will never happen and cheating will continue to pay in college basketball and football.
 
While nothing is surprising given all the money involved, still amazing how widespread this must be, from the blue bloods down to programs most may never expect.

A few on this board who have been involved in higher level hs, aau, college have commented that rule breaking is the norm and its more about the degree some will go and we shouldn't think even St. John's has been all that clean over the years.

I just can't fathom the different scenarios or ways they circumvent. 
 
Cheating->Winning->more donations, more enrollment, more free publicity, healthier university financially.

The benefits of cheating in college sports always outweigh the penalties.

Especially when the NCAA has more incentive NOT to punish these programs, becuase these are the programs who ultimately make money for the NCAA.
