Memphis in hot water....

Four different Level 1 violations. Penny could be done.

Thought he did a pretty good coaching job this year.

Thoughts?

I’ll wait and see what the actual violations are….

So far from what I’ve read they are mostly about not cooperating with the NCAA up to its liking, and then telling the coach that he is failing to keep “institutional control”. Kind of like arresting someone for resisting arrest.

Not saying that there weren’t some rules broken, but I’m going to wait and see what the actual rules that were broken, are. Some (lots?) of NCAA rules make absolutely no sense and are so far behind the technology of the times that they are literally laughable. For example, one of the things that they said happened, and is a tier 1 violation, is that a hard drive on a coach’s computer was wiped clean and thus Memphis therefore isn’t cooperating. They don’t know that there was anything bad on it, just that there isn’t anything on it now. So they are guilty of not keeping records on that computer for the NCAA to check. Another is that they didn’t keep good records about the text messages between coaches and recruits. Have they not seen how kids text today? They don’t talk to each other even when they are sitting at the same table! They text! How are schools expected to keep complete conversations like that in their records? And when they don’t, it’s considered failure to report, being uncooperative, and failure to control? Get real NCAA. This isn’t the 1980’s any longer.

Yeah, they probably have a dirty program there, but it seems to me that it’s more about “who” they are than it is about “what” they have been doing. Kinda like they have to prove that they are NOT guilty, just because of who they are and what has happened in the past. Meanwhile other more successful and well known schools are never even checked. It’s not that those schools aren’t breaking rules, they just do a better job of hiding it.

Not the way he is recruiting. It is why some teams held on to their coaches for years, despite their players committing felonies year after year, and their Coach and AD operating without regard to compliance, amassing a stunning number of L1 and L2 penalties. Some include UNLV, Baylor, Minnesota (under Haskins, Univ of Ci........uh.....let' just end the list here.
