Recruiting Impact on “Scandal Schools”

At this point, I fully expect Creighton to get hammered mercilessly but non-BE schools to get off.
 
[quote="Paultzman" post=299692]I may be naive, but I think the posse will catch up to Sean Miller at some point with latest findings. You can only dodge the bullet so much. The Feds being involved is a big step up from the NCAA weak enforcement. Will Book Richardson turn? He should.

Unfortunately if Arizona cans Sean Miller for "cause" related to violating NCAA recruiting rules it may nevertheless have to pay him the remaining balance on his base contract.

If the University of Arizona fires men’s basketball coach Sean Miller for cause in the wake of an ESPN report connecting him to a $100,000 payment that helped bring freshman forward Deandre Ayton to the Wildcats, it could set up a multi-faceted legal battle over how much money the school would owe Miller.

Miller may be able to maintain his rights to a complex deferred compensation fund currently worth more than $4.4 million. The university also may have to pay Miller millions more in basic annual pay than it would owe him if it fired him without cause.

Cleveland state must be really nervous .[/quote]

I expect the NCAA to recommend rules changes to bail out the blue bloods. Payments to players and their families will be strictly limited to $100K. If I were Cleveland State it would be troublesome since Olive Garden coupons will not be comparable.

There should not be much to investigate in the first instance to enforce violations.

The sworn testimony and evidence received during the Federal trial is admissible in the NCAA proceeding. Because the evidence received at trial was found by a jury to be sufficient to find the defendants guilty beyond a reasonable doubt that evidence should certainly satisfy the lower burden of proof for the NCAA to act.

The only reason the NCAA seemingly needs to conduct further investigations is to expand the inquiry into whether others were involved and to access issues related to lack of institutional control and additional violations.

Wake me up if the NCAA imposes any meaningful punishment against Kansas or Ari$ona.

Nothing will happen. North Carolina ran a sham class for years and nothing happened. Kentucky which claims to be an institution of higher education has permitted a two time left under a cloud coach (Memphis, UMASS) to run a program that doesn't even try to hide they are a one and done operation. Duke which was alleged to be holier than the rest of us now has a class of kids that after one season will be residing in the NBA next season. None will ever receive a Duke diploma no less visit a graduation ceremony. NCAA basketball is a pro operation so paying players under the table is now quietly understood. However, if you buy a recruit breakfast or heaven forbid call him during a "dark" period watch out! It is a joke.
 
George Will had a interesting column recently on this federal case, and the NCAA corruption - " Madness Goes Well Beyond March."
 
Pays to cheat as usual per Goodman

Sean Miller just landed another Top 50 player: Zeke Nnaji. That makes 2 Top 20 commits and 3 in the Top 50.

No way anyone thought last March/April that Arizona/Miller would land what will wind up being a Top 5 recruiting class in 2019
