ACC Discussion

[Peacone36]

#4 player in 2016 Dennis Smith JR committed to NC State this past week.

Only tangentially related but anyone surprised that Larry Brown and SMU got whacked today.
Brown has to sit for 30% of SMU's games this season. SMU is banned from post season this season and loses 9 scholarships over the next 3 years.

3rd college program to face major sanctions under Brown.

Gah, you beat me by 3 minutes. I've been waiting months for this news.

Anybody who thought this would end any differently is just not paying attention. The funniest part of the sanctions is this ...

Brown also will have to attend a regional rules seminar over the next two years, according to Goodman.

Imaging that smug 70+ yo dude having to sit through some rules class is just pure comedy to me.

Anyone surprised that SMU got whacked, but UNC will just float out there until it magically goes away?

Not sure if this was rhetorical, but, No.

Not surprised at all. Most didn't even see it - but UNC announced a couple of weeks ago that it unearthed a little more that needs to be investigated after NCAA presented its intial findings - effectively moving the clock back on any NCAA decision - and all but guaranteeing that no NCAA decision will come down until after the NCAA Tourney concludes. Doubt that was by accident.

I don't think NCAA has any desire at all to punish UNC - one of its biggest cash cows (remember NCAA gets 0 money from football, the majority of its money comes from basketball and the tourney) - and is only going through the process because it is basically being forced to by media coverage. Notice how little of any of the focus has been on the men's basketball program'

You dont even really see it being covered by ESPN. Not like they covered Miami and USC football or undoubtedly like they will cover SMU

It's downright comical how little coverage the UNC stuff has gotten considering how widespread the corruption was (is) there.

@stinger90 We're nowhere near a decision. NCAA has to decide whether to amend notice of allegations from August developments…

Aaron Beard ‏@aaronbeardap 1m1 minute ago
@stinger90 UNC then has 60 days to respond in writing. That starts a process with a hearing and later a ruling. First half of 2016?

 

[RamblinRed]

Aaron Beard is mentioning what I mentioned earlier. The time line at the time of the notice of allegations would have put a final NCAA decision and appeal done before the NCAA Tourney started - potentially putting UNC in a bad spot if one of the punishments is loss of postseason play.

By UNC saying hey we found something else that should be investigated before a final decision is made they basically pushed the clock back so no final decision will be done until after the Tourney - basically making sure that their highly ranked team won't have to worry about a post-season ban this year.

Newsflash: NCAA drops the hammer on UNC, agrees to let all 2016 commits out of their LOI's, and BROB signs with GT.

Sorry..still dreaming!

 

[awbuzz]

... almost swear that the NCAA is praying that folks just forget that anything questionable, much less blatant, has happened at UNC.

Jim Boeheim to appeal 9-game ACC ban Monday, source says http://es.pn/1FIwwyI

 

[dtm1997]

Uhhhh.... can Donovan Mitchell, Deng Adel, or Anas Mahmoud get waivers to transfer in-conference?

I hope that they roast their asses..

Pitino has to go. UL cannot, as a public university, turn a blind eye to a crime of this magnitude and duration. If true, Pitino is suddenly a huge embarrassment to the university system.
