The world of NCAA recruiting

[mbyron]

If the penalty stuck to the coach as well as the violating program, we might see two things:

1. coaches becoming more closely involved in preventing violations, and

2. coaches not getting hired so quickly after they left a disgraced program.

Now: what would the unintended consequences be?

Calipari won't get another job at all after the NCAA takes away all of this year's Kentucky wins?

Now I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy; that would be like Christmas.

Only if willingness to cheat weren't considered a job qualification at quite so many big-time NCAA schools.

In Calipari, Kentucky knew exactly what they were getting, and got exactly what they wanted.

Committee denies Sidney appeal


Associated Press


STARKVILLE, Miss. -- The Division I Student-Athlete Reinstatement Committee has denied Mississippi State's appeal of the NCAA's penalty against basketball player Renardo Sidney.
The independent committee's decision closes the 11-month investigation into the top prospect's eligibility, a Tuesday news release from the school says.
The NCAA accused Sidney of lying to investigators and ruled earlier this month that he will have to sit out about nine games next season and repay extra benefits he received as a high school player in Los Angeles.
The school only appealed the suspension and did not appeal the $11,800 financial penalty, money the NCAA says Sidney received because of his future earning potential.

I'm waiting for Camron to come along and challenge you to prove it...

I'd think they (and the NCAA) know a lot more than you do about what he did or didn't do. If he were the cheater you thought he was, they wouldn't touch him. They coudn't afford to.
