Faux Mike Peltz Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 I got sent a text from a major jaysker and cu alum who told me a big article was going to drop soon from USA Today. That was about two hours ago. We are so inept we can’t even cheat well. And someone asked who we cheated to get…at this point, who knows? Mack? Wilcher? Keon?? I mean, we had a lot of transfers that were fairly highly rated… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrasher31 Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 I'm just catching up on everything. With Matt A taking a leave of absence out of the blue this makes sense. I listened to HOLs latest pod with Robin (or might've been the one before. One of last 2) and he found it interesting on Matt taking this leave all of a sudden to address health issues. He noticed him after the IU game and he seemed fine, but you can never assume with health issues. All in all, if this comes to fruition, were likely looking at an extremely long year rivaling the past two seasons. Probably worse. I'm going to wait till the reports come out. Trev will have a big decision to make. He can cut bait and not have to pay the buyout, or just make abdelmassih be dismissed. Its finals week, so I'll try to stay in the loop. I might be behind a day or two though. This may get ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskerFever Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 I'm going to hold my breath until the reports come out, and until Nebraska's administration releases a statement, but I've already been very critical of our administration's lack of accountability with our men's programs in particular.

Can this program be any more of a mess. Also the reason Matt is on leave was not even to do with recruiting, so this is icing on the cake. Gambling?

a0t0w0 Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 No matter the outcome of this, I will say that hearing Sir Charles speak so highly of the cheating and guilty scumbag auburn HC during Saturday's game was disgusting. That dude actually won by cheating and after several years gets a wag of the finger. As far as Matt A goes...his record screamed suspect, but at the same time he's a young dude with a young family in an industry that semi encourages habitual line stepping. I'm starting to hate everything about college sports. Silverbacked1, Norm Peterson, Go Big Fred and 3 others 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBigRed Posted December 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 (edited) Conspiracy theory: this pending USA Today recruiting violations article was leaked intentionally from within our AD to allow us to fire Matt A with cause for something that isn’t probably as bad as what Trev learned a couple weeks ago. The timing of it…in between a 7 day layoff….finals week right before Christmas break…would make some sense. I’m mostly joking. I think.

This was my train of thought as well, guys like Sean miller, will wade and Bruce pearl have all done terrible recruiting violations and basically got slaps on the wrist. Miller coached for 4 more years after they had him on tape paying a dude. I’m not saying we didn’t do anything wrong, but the NCAA has shown again and again when it comes to rule enforcement they don’t really do much. Also, with NIL now being a thing would it mean it has to be an infraction that isn’t money related? That’s what scares me more than paying kids or buying them shoes or something. I suppose if it’s true time will tell. Go Big Fred and BannedAccount 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Polish Rifle Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 We’ve basically been on NCAA punishment the last 3 years. We nuke our roster and start over the next season. Whether this rumor is true or BS, don’t think it would change much - maybe just who our coach is. Husker Hoops Penitent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could very well be, but if I’m not mistaken it went into effect with this last class, so it would have to be for one of his previous two classes, right? At least logically that would make sense. I mean Bryce and Trey announced their show like a week after signing, those things just don’t happen over night. But I’m just spitballing here for the sake of the conversation.

Husker Hoops Penitent Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 I won't matter at all (if the rumors are true). They will start over, fail with the next "great coach" get a new coach and fail with him from here to eternity. I agree with one of the earlier posts: we cannot even cheat well.

National sports writers have better things to spend their time on than digging into a 19-51 program if there's less than "shady things" going on. There could be some real issues going on behind the scenes. I guess time will tell. Jugular 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tcp Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 I apoloogize if thishas been covered elsewhere, but I just learnedn that our friend Hoiberg has had this problem before. I don't recall this during the hiring time so I'm unclear as to how serious it was, but apparently he's been caught with recruiting violations at Iowa St, too. Did we ignore this? Not know this? Did we miss a spot in the vetting process or was the ISU coach involved not guilty? If anyone knows, pls enlightened. Because I didn't think NU would hire a known cheater for this job.
