Classic Friday night news dump.

Some interesting tidbits that may be of value when considering the NCAA’s potential approach to the issues at some other SEC schools. Additionally, a couple of other quotes that caught my attention.

quote:

Arizona coach Sean Miller faces a Level I head-coach responsibility charge for failing to monitor two assistant coaches accused of academic misconduct and improper recruiting inducements, while the NCAA handed the school four other Level I violations in the Notice of Allegations that Arizona released on Friday evening.


quote:

1. Unethical recruiting conduct involving academic misconduct by Richardson and Phelps.

In September 2019, citing an FBI recording that was not presented as evidence in the federal basketball trials...


quote:

4. Head coach responsibility for Miller for not demonstrating he promoted compliance, including not monitoring Richardson for his relationship with agent Christian Dawkins.


quote:

5. Institutional lack of control for Arizona because of the men's basketball charges and two Level II charges involving swimming.


quote:

The NCAA also said that in August or September 2017, Phelps arranged for a "false or inaccurate academic record" for a recruiting target. The player's name was redacted but ESPN reported in February 2019 that Phelps was accused of a violation regarding former Arizona recruit Shareef O'Neal's academic transcripts. Stadium's Jeff Goodman tweeted that it specifically involved a fraudulent online course.

O'Neal committed to Arizona in November 2017 but decommitted in the wake of ESPN's February 2018 report that Miller discussed a pay-for-play scheme with an agent. O'Neal subsequently enrolled at UCLA and now plays for LSU.


quote:

If a school is found to have committed a standard Level I violation, the NCAA's penalty matrix calls for one or two years of a postseason ban. But an aggravated Level 1 carries a band of two to four years.

Arizona announced on Dec. 29 it was self-imposing a postseason ban, indicating it might have believed a standard Level 1 conviction was the floor of what it might be facing. However, the lists of aggravating factors are longer than the mitigating factors, indicating the case could be processed as aggravated Level I.

Among the aggravating factors listed included one for having "compromised the integrity of the investigation" and failing to cooperate.


quote:

After the school received the Notice of Allegations in October, it requested its infractions case be moved to the NCAA's new Independent Accountability Resolution Process. The case was accepted into the IARP in December but it has no timeline for resolution, and four other still-unresolved cases were in its system before Arizona's.

how does a program hire a coach who never even played for a second of college basketball?

Interesting note that Arizona got slapped with LOIC for their Swimming team having Level 2 infractions. LSU’s self-prescribed post season ban in Football this past year indicates they believe at least one of their infractions will be considered Level I.

Having two programs simultaneously committing Level I violations is un-good, in case anyone was wondering.

No one was wondering. They saw Tuscaloosa and LSU and knew it would be negative.

To dominate LSU the way Bama does, you boys sure dedicate a lot of time and effor piling on.

Good job.

I guess.

I’m starting to think the LSU AD knows they are fricked...hence the self reporting and investigation from outside firms. I’m starting to think there will be a major shake up with new staff, AD, and coaches.

You’ve covered all bases on the topic of Will Wade.
