[Lobot]

LSU has received it's notice of allegations according to the Athletic . Finally. ($)

I dug up some information from the Memphis Commercial Appeal. The player was Malcomb Dandridge. UM fired the academic advisor, with the NCAA slapping a 10-year show-cause penalty on her.

The open question in my mind is, did she initiate this? She didn't resign. It just seems improbable that no one on the basketball staff knew of this during her activities in this fraud.

That explains why they dismissed Dandridge from the team

NIL = Not Illegal Learning ?

The academic advisor was paying the softball players to participate.

Memphis has eaten a 2 year NCAA probation in Men's basketball and women's softball for academic fraud (again) . The softball team was doing classwork for the basketball team. Nothing is shocking anymore with their basketball program.

This was also a pretty interesting response.

Pretty strong statement on the situation.

Bill Self and Kansas will face no additional serious penalties, per the IARP's ruling. Three-year probation and they have to vacate their 2018 Final Four appearance and wins from that season due to Silvio de Sousa's participation. But no postseason ban, further suspension, etc.

I'll go on record predicting that this will be a slap on the wrist for everyone involved and they'll most likely not get a postseason ban or anything significant beyond the self punishments. They might have to vacate wins. The IARP has been largely toothless and they just want to get out of town since this is the last case before them.

There is no doubt that you are right.

Kansas about to find out, with 5 Level 1 violations. This is the last case from the FBI investigation.

Rather than 10 days, the suspension is for 10 games. McNeese State originally imposed a 5-game ban, which the review board doubled. In addition, per al.com, "Under terms of the show cause, Wade cannot recruit off-campus during the April and summer evaluation periods until June 21, 2025. He was also hit with reductions in official and unofficial recruiting visits for his program." This doesn't mean his assistants can't recruit off campus; just Wade.

Oops, yes, 10 games haha

As to off campus recruiting, yes, that's a setback. But it is McNeese State -- not exactly going after a bunch of 5 and 4 star talent, I think they'll do fine.

Wade's suspended for 10 days, I don't think the show cause means he cannot coach for two years. Took me several articles to confirm that, but the CBS article lays out the penalties/restrictions over the next couple years: https://www.cbssports.com/college-ba...aa-violations/

That's way different than what was represented by Forde at SI.
