Lack of recruiting is never a benefit nor was it a benefit in JJ's lack of relations with area high school coaches. Jones left the football program in shambles. The hoops program might lose a school or sit out one year of being eligible for post season play. If any violations are even found. The mess Jones has gotten us into has already missed 2 post seasons in a row and who knows how long it will take to get back to a bowl game. Any coach that leaves a program with a lot a low level recruits is far worse. See any other school where the football coach has left the team with low level recruits.

Grades seem like an open and shut case concerning NCAA academic eligibility. You either make the grade or not. What details would encompass the submission of a waiver? Are there specific reasons a waiver can be submitted? Not looking for personal details--just if this is something usually done or if it is rare.

Nothing is open and shut with the NCAA.

The waiver is to show that he is trying. The investigation is into entirely separate matters. There are many pieces.

This is a great question. This seems like it being coordinated.

What is worst case scenerio? Scholarship sanctions? For how long? Etc

Agreed. Even though we will likely never find out, I'd be very curious to hear how this originated.

Blame Houston.

Maligi recruited House and Thomas. Got them to UH. Sampson comes in, they jet. Sampson is informer for NCAA as part of his deal to be let back into coaching (retaliation for Maligi encouraging them to leave UH bc Sampson is a slime ball plus Maligi's connections in Houston AAU network building that pipeline to SMU instead of UH).

Would make a good soap opera, though. :-)

When in doubt, always blame Houston (or TCU or Baylor but those last 2 are not quite threatened by us . . . yet).

Anytime the NCAA shows up at our door, I smell steer. Suddenly we are making noise in Dallas, UT recruits Dallas, it owns the NCAA. But that said, was Brown referring to his GPA in high school or his GPA now? These are two different things. The first one would make him ineligible to play basketball period for his freshman year (thus exposing us to sanctions like losing the runner up title in the NIT) and presumably beyond until he showed academic progress at SMU. Given the usual catty allegations that his physics teacher was bullied into raising his grade to make him eligible would hurt his eligibility (but presumably would not be an NCAA violation for SMU unless we knew about it, although we still might have to forfeit games). I suspect many hoops players for UNC, KY, Louisville, UConn and football players at Ohio State, UT, Alabama and other places have had fortuitous changes in high school grades like that mysterious A on the final exam. This is clearly someone spending a lot of time peeling the onion to find that kind of factoid which the NCAA rarely seems to get into with other schools, but always seem to find us. So, who squealed? The physics teacher, the uncle, or some registrar at DISD who noticed a grade change?

Supposedly the investigation has been going for a while.

If smu expected anything bad they wouldn't have done reseating or raise prices

For those in the know (more than the rest of us), any truth to the rumor that Maligi's laptop had been used to do online work/testing for Keith? That would be a big issue if not explained...opens up to questions of others doing assignments for Keith to keep him eligible.

Just hope they didn't get Maligi's laptop and find both the answer key to a test, the IP address used to take that online test being his computer, and also a copy of his email to the Kimball teacher offering money if Keith's grade was changed. That is a horrible hat-trick of exceptional stupidity...but crap like that has been known to happen (re including return addresses on checks to players).
