March the 5th

I do believe March the 5th is the day the NCAA responses to OM's appeal of their penalties levied against. They have been telling recruits their penalties will be lifted due to OM's appeal process. I think the results of the appeal will have an impact on in state kids. Their recruiting will have to change if their appeals are denied.

At this point, I fully expect them to win the appeal.

You forgot to add "With a written apology from the NCAA"

When I saw Bobby Cremins was on their committee I knew they would skate. He is one of the great cheaters in the history of college basketball. No idea if he has any input in the appeals process, but if so, your prediction is almost guaranteed to come true.

They've not cut back one bit on unofficial visits during their appeal period. Still at it just as hard as they were in the glory days. I wonder how that's gonna work? Does their countdown start from the day the appeal is denied or accepted? Or did they just find a way to skirt the system, cheat during their appeal by not cutting unofficials, and get away with it, if their penalties are upheld?

How appropriate. I have a colonoscopy scheduled for the 5th. Two reamings in one day.

No idea what the correct answer is, but I'd bet they had this **** figured out a long time ago.

At this point, I don't even care if they win it or not. The original ruling was already a huge win for them anyway.

You guys are crazy. They aren’t going getting out of the bowl ban. And the bowl ban is a big deal. And once the appeal is over, the NCAA sets up shop in their athletic department and the unofficial visits decrease.

The stars in their highly ranked class of 2016, including AJ Brown, will leave after their junior year having never played in a bowl game.

It all depends on the outcome of the limited unofficial visitors ruling. If they are still saddled with that, it's a pretty bad punishment. If that gets lifted, their future recruiting classes will be as if nothing happened at all.

Just curious, how would that "setting up shop" in their athletic department work? I mean, they should do exactly that somehow, but I am just curious as to how it would be done. Do they have staff that are assigned to monitor programs that have been sanctioned and put on probation, and if so how do they do it? Anybody know?

 

[Faustdog]

My understanding is that during their probationary period an ncaa compliance offer will literally have an office in their athletic department.

 

[patdog]

They're just going to circumvent that ruling by taking the "unofficial" visits off the books. How moronic is it that even the "unofficial" visits have their own set of rules and accounting for anyway? Doesn't that just make them a second class of official visit to begin with?

That's not even remotely true.

The NCAA should apologize......for being nutless douches.

The NCAA is similar to the financial industry regulators. They can be paid off to look the other way.

And you think they will comply with this "limited unofficial visits" because why exactly? Because the NCAA will "set up shop" on campus? LMAO. You do realize, they CONTINUED to cheat WHILE THE NCAA WAS ON CAMPUS INVESTIGATING, right?

It's business as usual up there and has been all along.

The NCAA should add these 4 months since the sanction date to the end of the penalty time, but they probably won't bother. Either way the appeal has allowed OM four months of unofficial visits that helped their 2018 and 2019 classes.
