And here it is...Whitehead named in Impermissible Benefits

[The SHUttle]

Here is a dumb question

Who here thinks Andy Miller is the only agent who operates like this?

He's not. He's the one who got caught so far though. That's what always makes the difference. Only those truly naive don't see what goes on. It's just a matter of did you get caught enough to not be ignored by the NCAA or not?

For example, we were not caught enough to not be ignored by the NCAA when it came out that Derm Player was getting storage facilities for recruits. The NCAA ignored it. They won't be able to ignore this.

Chris Mack came out and made a quick comment denying any involvement on his behalf and his staff’s. Not to say Willard should be hasty with public comments, but where there’s silence......

Wow. Are we going to see a statement like this? Over/under?

Completely different situation. If a guy on Mack's staff was on the list he wouldn't be so quick.

It's hilarious that so many people on this board and even in this thread will quickly dump on other schools for doing much less severe things, but provide excuse after excuse when Seton Hall is implicated.

I love my alma mater, but I recognize that this is part of big time college basketball. I'm not naive enough to ignore the dots that can easily be connected in this case.

Particularly after a coach who can't recruit signs a transformational, job-saving class.

Apple doesn't fall far from the Pitino coaching tree.

Seton Hall made the right decision by issuance of the Press release. To make any further comment would be foolish. I am sure that KW and Pat Lyons have been advised/directed to make no comment pending the , at least, the internal investigation.

Actually this is good news for the Hall-- certainly its most important Player ,for a while , got no help/money.

Man he sucks.

Our roster is pretty good even without IW. I like our current roster & next year's class too.

Man he sucks.

Because it's his fault...

That's offensive, no Gibbs family member has ever been broke.

 

[chickenbox]

Remember the espn canarias story a couple years back?

 

[SHUMA04]

That's offensive, no Gibbs family member has ever been broke.

No one who drinks a glass of red wine with their pinky in the air has ever been broke...

Sumner was on one of the lists - not as much money but some small amount.

Much different than an assistant coach

Might not like it sans a couple of scholarships and an NCAA ban...

If we get that for one player what are the likes of Duke and Arizona going to get?

The NCAA has a real mess on their hands.

First of all, I don't believe a kid as highly recruited as Gibbs didn't get something under the table. Especially with the pedigree of his family. Plus, as said, "broke" has no place near him.

 

[TB61]

I don't agree unless it can be proven that Willard was involved. If Willard is dirty he should be fired on the spot.

I am glad that the FBI and not the NCAA is involved because there is a far greater chance that they will get the truth on this.

BTW, the post game tomorrow after the SJU tilt should be interesting. You know Willard is going to have to face questions. Let's see if he answers them or gives a no comment.

The NCAA will be more involved than the FBI in the player payments aspect, at least with respect to penalties. The FBI is primarily, if not exclusively, interested in crimes. The payments hit directly at the "impermissible benefits" section of NCAA rules and the related penalties.

Gibbs also went to Texas and UConn. No money? Please.

I know plenty of people who make a good buck and have no money. Most of the time their wives spend it before they make it.

 

[The SHUttle]

I don't think you got my point and I definitely don't get yours.

He may have gotten a lot of money and spent it all right away and was broke. Being broke might not be so far fetched despite receiving something.

 

[The SHUttle]

Yeah I don't think that's what he's getting at.

 

[chickenbox]

I think he's implicating Sterling Gibbs' wife in the man's dire financial situation
