Hot Seat

[BannedAccount]

This is already being talked about on another topic.  Honestly it cant be worse then other programs that have had basically a slap on the wrist.

Well if they just would have taped the widows with newspaper it would have been harder to see them.

You're effectively getting exactly what was posted, fwiw. 

Also - Robin Washut responded to posts on RSS yesterday basically saying "yeah I've heard these rumors and there seems to be a lot of smoke for there to be no fire." And I don't feel like he'd say that unless he was pretty sure something was going on. He's usually pretty tight lipped with drama. 

He sounded miserable on his radio appearance on 93.7 in Lincoln this morning.

Just listened to it and it sounded more like it was early in the morning and is a dad with young kids...

He's a poster over on the women's side.

I mean it’s a spot he’s in every week for Jake and Sip’s show. Sipple in the next segment noted that Robin is “covering a train wreck” and the quartet of Sipple, Schaefer, Happer, and Jake all just chuckled and laughed when Schaefer responded to it being a train wreck by saying “and it sounds like it’s only gonna get worse.”

Still...we don't need a new thread for every time someone has a thought.

I've listened to it before. Just saying it didn't sound that bad to me. He did say it's been a bit of a grind professionally, but I didn't think he sounded miserable...

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. 

 

I agree that schools like Arizona, Kansas, Kentucky have all had major recruiting violations and got slapped on the wrists. But the NCAA is known for protecting some schools and hammering the others. If Nebraska did violate a major rule I could see them give some harsh penalties the University.

 

I hope I'm wrong.

I understand that, He should have read through the posts to see if the topic was being discussed. I was just saying that he posts over on the women's side and not a johnny come lately guy.

Here are 7 pages of discussion from the clones board. You could say they aren't the least bit surprised.

Ughh.. the worst part might be us being the laughing stock of cheating scandals by other boards.

As we should be. They cheated but set program lows in losing. That's hard to do

I wouldn't worry about it too much.

 

...and I probably wouldn't spend too much effort trying to see what other people think about us.  Spoiler alert, they hate us...and that's just the ones that care anyway.

Fred's issues at ISU involved impermissible contacts by assistants, and he (and McDermott before him) were not accused of wrongdoing. The issues also involved football and other sports. Fred turned in a grad assistant who was not supposed to be attending an AAU event that Fred was at watching Jack play. So I think Fred's reputation was good when he was hired, and I'd prefer to believe it will be when this is over.

As for Matt A, an acquaintance (a bluebird fan) said when he was hired that he had a sketchy reputation while at St. John's. I've often thought of that when we were bringing in top-level kids but never brought it up before. However, his name seems to be coming up with this current stuff. 

 

 I am sure a Bluejay fan in Omaha is the measuring stick of being the expert on the St. Johns assistant coaching tree.

Did 49er put that together or was it huskerfever?
