Nebrasketball1979 Posted February 24, 2018 Report Posted February 24, 2018 The most fascinating game today is going to be the Arizona-Oregon game. Obviously the allegations against Sean Miller are damning and what happens today preceding Arizona's game is going to be telling. I think there is a good chance that Arizona terminates Miller before the game and deem Ayton ineligible. In looking at some Arizona message boards there is a growing sentiment that Arizona should immediately clean house and self inflict a postseason ban this year and next year to potentially soften the impact of the NCAA hammer that will be dropped. The next several days are going to be extremely interesting. I read on another thread a question about whether the selection committee will consider allegations against certain schools during its discussions. I'm not getting my hopes up for this. The selection committee is not going to be the judge, jury and executioner in any of these cases. Hell, the NCAA has a hard enough time itself enforcing its rules and handing out punishment in an expeditious manner. So, expecting the committee to play this role is likely just a pipe dream. I'm guessing certain leaders at the NCAA are much more disappointed not in the alleged cheating but in the timing of this news getting out now prior to their annual cash cow getting started. jimmykc, HolyBobpilgrimage and Elytron 1 2 Quote

No, it’s against the rules. That simple. You want colleges paying players $200,000+ to go to their school? That’s not college, unfortunately. Cookie Miller Wasn't Dirty 1 Quote

I am curious as to the timing of the release of this also. It's been 5-6 months since the initial report came out. But guessing someone has there reason for the timing. Maybe need to let this have its own thread rather than taking over this one. Quote

While that may be true, it’s still cheating right now. Until they would start paying athletes, it’s still cheating. Sorry, but when/if the conversation about paying athletes does come up, it won’t be anywhere near 100K either. Way too many athletes and with title 9, they’ll have to pay everyone the same. Which presents a problem for most all women’s sports because they do not pay for themselves. Do I think athletes should get paid? Yes probably a little bit. 100K? Certainly not.

HuskerFever Posted February 24, 2018 Report Posted February 24, 2018 It sounds like some bubble teams and having some players sit out this weekend due to FBI allegations. Could make for an interesting weekend for us. Quote
brfrad Posted February 24, 2018 Report Posted February 24, 2018 Sean Miller should be listed as one of the dumbest head coaches in the game. How do you not have a fall guy funneling the money? An assistant coach, who you are paying under the table, in case he gets caught. Plausible deniability is key. Quote
