Al Golden says he has not been informed of decision regarding bowl situation. "We're just getting ready to play Duke."

Seriously hope they don't drag this out. Make a decision either way so the team knows.

Golden said team reacted poorly last year when bowl ban was announced before season finale. Maybe why it's not being announced now..

This was my point exactly. We have to do what we have to do. But we still should go out winners against Duke. Do what needs to be done to keep the team focused. Duke already said they would not be disappointed in another bowl ban.
 
It would be worse on team morale if you wait until after Duke, we win and then self-impose. Better to at least tell the team now the decision. Even better if it's "win vs. Duke and you go", "lose vs. Duke and we self-impose". But tell the team, not the media.

Al: had conversation with Blake James...Blake told Al they are working on a decision...

My take on the bowl situation...sounds like they are close to a decision the way AL was talking...think it comes sooner than later

I know that they screwed up last year against BC but I still think they should know its their last game, besides, I don't see Steve going jacory and throwing 4 pics, including a pic six which is probably the only reason we lost
 
PLEASE HURRY MY HOLIDAY PLANS ARE ON HOLD DUE TO THIS CRAP!!

Waited this long and still may not get a seat or cheap rate Dec 1 to Charlotte and/or to KY later in December! :mad:
 
Deep down I know it's the right move to self impose, but selfishly I want 3 more games, not 1.

I agree with this on a personal level.

But the right thing to do is self impose. Worse thing that can happen by not imposing another ban is going 11-1 or 10-2 next year and then having to take a bowl ban.

Why is it better to make a decision and tell the team beforehand? If no decision has been announced by game time, they'll still know this may be the last game of the season. And they should play like it is. The administration should take as much time as necessary to make the right decision.

So when he said he spoke to the AD he actually did not?

Or when he said "UM doesn't know anything about a letter being sent" last week, he actually meant "UM has the letter", which is the only way he would have been wrong.

Would it be a positive if they dont impose? I am thinking if they dont impose then the lawyers and ncaa must be telling them some positives.

That's how I'm interpreting the situation. You have to think they are going to err on the side of caution. So if they do not self impose, that's a pretty good sign that we might "skate".

Given the history of this administration's decision making......I'd say it would be premature to assume off the bat that a decision to NOT self impose would indicate we are "free and clear".

Shalala may be a great president for the school...you'll get little argument from me there. She may be great at raising money...you get no argument from me there.

But we're talking about the same woman who

1. Hired Coker
2. Extended Coker
3. Hired Shannon
4. Extended Shannon

We're talking 4 of the worst decisions in the history of this program. I wouldn't put anything past this administration. I simply don't trust them when it comes to football related decisions.

Paul Dee did those things. The guy she hired to make sports related hires. She approved it and she was kept aware of the process but she wouldn't rubber stamp those decisions if they weren't recommended to her by the athletic department.
 
The NCAA is 20 months into this investigation, That's an unheard of time investigating events that have occurred and you know who the players are. At the very least they should give us a status on the investigation. This isn't criminal it's a rules violation that is meaningless outside of the constituency.
