But I do know one thing. I know that I had no idea we played Arky the other night and no idea what the final score was until the next day.
The feeling was glorious.
I still don't know the final score, and don't care. I've just lost interest. I hate my apathy, but I just don't have it in me to care right now.
And I agree with those who call BS on "not allowed to share." They may not have been able to discuss any specifics, but I bet they could have disclosed that an investigation was on the horizon, especially if asked.
The more I've thought about it, while it was a completely dick move not to tell KA, I also call BS on his not having any idea. He was the choice of the boosters. The boosters knew this crap was going on, and we were likely to be sanctioned. I can't imagine that, as well liked as KA was/is in those circles, that no one gave him a heads-up. If that is truly the case, he's the ultimate patsy, and the boosters were just looking for an escape goat. (SWIDT?)

We lost 94-61. Nasty nasty beat down.
I have an idea KA is lying. I doubt he didn't know. As bad as this season and last year have been next year could be even uglier.
I am guessing people should be fired in the compliance department but hell we aren't going to have any employees left on campus by the end of the year.

Sorry this isn't a bash KA post but it is getting worse for Alden after this letter:

Alden might have created this investigation to distract from something much bigger.

Why? None of this happened while Mack was here
Posted on 1/14/16 at 4:24 pm to 5thTiger
I probably ought to just wait but I am not happy with the way things are going and I have been told that Mack has been aware of problems in our compliance department and has not done anything about them. I hope that is incorrect. I actually like the guy. The next BB hire will be very important. I hope he gets it right.

After his resignation, Snyder accused Missouri athletic director Mike Alden of sending Gary Link, a basketball analyst and assistant to Alden, to inform him that he would be fired after the season. Alden denied the charge.[15]
Just read this on wiki.

I am pretty sure that happened.

If the part about Gant is true than he is going to be ruled ineligible I would guess.

I think you are a bit behind. Gant has already served his punishment. Mack isn't going anywhere.

That was waiting on the clearing house to clear his HS transcripts wasn't it?

Once the NCAA cleared him, he is good. He is good now. Barring some new violations, Gant won't be suspended.
Why is everyone just lumping every thing on Alden's plate? Blame Tim Fuller, who is a sleazeball that got the program into this mess. Blame the Compliance office, who apparently did a shite job.

You can remove the pretty sure part. It happened.

Fluff jobs for athletes, getting the ball started on parents relocating nearby, improper benefits in the 3 to 4 digit range from boosters. The compliance dept and/or the coaching staff not dropping hints to Gant on how to answer the internship questions is the biggest problem. If we ever want to win anything of significance we need to get our improper benefits into the 6 digit range. College athletics is a sleazy business. Haith wasn't even tied to anything in the initial report. All that was disclosed on Fuller so far is that he passed on a parent's phone number. The boosters are thrown under the bus when they are a key cog in the recruiting cycle. We need more like them, not less if we want to be competitive. It sucks getting busted, but it is part of the game. JMO
