Thanks, can we just pay our way out of jail?

Big question: When we sweep you guys again this year, will the committee still consider them to be NCAA tournament quality wins?

Need to wait the full 14 days, then appeal, that gets us further along into March and increases the chances that this season will not be affected. Hopefully, they have given this message to the players so they are not freaking out. Let them know this season is not in jeopardy.

It will be telling if the NCAA slow plays us on the appeal as much as the infraction.

He's still upset because the last time Cincy was relevant in basketball, we kicked their [deleted] in Moody by 20+

Sanctioning LB and banning us from the post-season is a huge overeach on sanctions by the NCAA....I would expect nothing less. There seems to be a lot of media outcry on the severity of the sanctions...maybe this will work in our favor during the appeal process.

Why do I get the impression that Coach Brown is considering litigation separate from the school's appeal process? I am monitoring a legal matter where everything came to a halt after a Federal lawsuit was filed involving a request for an injunction. Everyone backed away from their positions in order to avoid having a ruling by the judge and there still hasnt been a hearing. The request was filed over a year ago. How much of a fight does the NCAA want?

Does it involve a criminal matter or a matter where a witness may have to plead the 5th Amendment?

that usually shuts down civil matters because the 5th Amendment prevents discovery and civil courts with usually stay matters until criminal matters are resolved

Think O.J. Simpson trial or Penn St. case

One could expect nothing less from the NCAA. SMU and all smaller schools will receive out of proportion penalties as compared to the Big Boys.

You got it

Kinda like I liked JJ without all the ncaa RASSROLL drama

If you want to feel productive go and vote for Courtland Sutton for the Biletnikoff Award, all you have to do is click vote once a day (no signup), he is currently in second place.

Does the ncaa have a process to where a dispute goes to outside 3rd party arbitration without
having to go to court

I researched a little and the COI is made up of mostly former university presidents, and below
officials, ADs, coaches etc. which are inherently biased

[RGV Pony]

Rass roles!!!!!!!!!!

Turner said the "new rules" we supposed to be geared more towards punishing those responsible and not the kids who had nothing to do with the violations. I get that Coach Brown should take a hit, but really struggle with what this means for our 3 seniors who have no more eligibility. Even if they declared Keith ineligible for this season and barred the others involved from working for a college hoops program...that would make more sense to me.
