Just like football. Nothing to play for.
Excellent example of a dumb *** post right here. Nice job, schlub.
thisJones and Johnson were both cleared. The current adminstration hasn't brought up taking a ban, because they're perfectly satisfied with the resolution. Scott will probably be cleared in the next few days if it's similar to what happened to RJ, which is what it sounds like.
This is a whole lot different than dozens of football players getting free lap dances and yacht trips over several years. There's no transitive property that just because the football program had to eat a bullet that the bball team needs to also. Furthermore, it's important for guys like Kadji, TMJ, Brown, Larkin, etc, to keep on playing as many games as possible. Any post-season experience helps.

but.......even for minor violations.....its hard to ignore that almost 25% of the roster has missed time for **** that happened under his watchNothing will happen to us, and chances are, nothing will happen to Haith, either. I can't really back that up with facts but it seems just like the kind of situation that will get swept under the rug because he's moved onto a legitimate Top 15 program that's having a big year. That piece of garbage should be suspended exactly the same amount of games that he's cost us this season, IMO.

I see that argument. And my first post was tongue in cheek until you got your panties in a wad.
But I could still see the argument of, why not be overly cautious and take a ban? No infractions committee is going to be able to say "oh I see the u had some issues with eligibility this year let's vote on what to do with them. We won't hold the Shapiro story against them at all. Wink wink."
We would not have reinstated them if we did not get the blessing of the NCAA. When the NCAA doesn't hand down additional punishment, like they did with our football players, they have been satisfied and no further action is required.
The FB team is going to suck a big one because the suspensions were not self-enforced, but something the NCAA deemed necessary. It's two completely different situations, stop thinking they are similar because they are not.
the only reason i disagree with that is because in reggies case....for example......it was said that the "benefits" provided were provided by a former coachAlso, the RJ and Scott suspensions were ostensibly over impermissible travel benefits to family members. (I'm assuming RJ's case is the same as DS, it might not be but for the sake of this let's pretend.) That's nowhere near the type of stuff that Shapiro accused the football players of doing.
Now, Jones' suspension was of that same caliber, with the whole duffel bag of money allegation. But there was no evidence, no paper trail, Haith denied it, Jones denied it, and he was reinstated so that has pretty much run its course. There's nothing at all that would cause the NCAA to come down on the bball team.
i dont think its a big deal either.......the bigger problem is gonna be the athletic department as a whole just based on the fact that rules were broken by at least 2 different sports programs.....during the same time periodI guess, but if they waved off RJ after one game, I don't think it's going anywhere. They're much more likely to go after FH or one of his assistants.
