I imagine he's not too pleased with this at the moment.

This is the most Joe Alleva thing ever. Doesn't give a damn about football, must win women's tennis by any means necessary.

I'm sure that's what Ole Miss said, too


NCAA went to ole miss for women's tennis?

Or because a player admitted his was paid on draft night?

You don't want the NCAA snooping around your AD for any reason, especially for a non revenue sport.

Once they start it's easy for them to start looking into all. It's why so many times once a school gets a NOA it's usually multiple sports that get caught up in it.

Yeah, Ole Miss' investigation started with the firing of their women's basketball coach and then track and field after... the first NOA to them was women's basketball and track and field

quote:


A timeline of events that led to Friday's Notice of Allegations announcement released by Ole Miss:

Oct. 20, 2012

Ole Miss places new women’s basketball coach Adrian Wiggins on administrative leave, fires two staff members and declares two players ineligible amid an investigation into improper recruiting and academic misconduct. Wiggins is later fired.

June 22, 2015

Brian O’Neal resigns at the end of his third season as head track and field coach. It is later revealed that there were recruiting violations during his tenure.

Our office of compliance all need firing if this is true. All of them.

I admit to being a little worried in that who in the hell cares enough about tennis either men or women to like cheat? Plus a few years ago there was the unpleasantness of Tony Minnis.

If someone is actually cheating at women's tennis then I would worry about the possibility in other sports. If you're willing to cheat at a sport that no one cares about and doesn't feature the best young tennis players then what else are you cheating at?

I couldn't sleep last night because of the baseball game. Now I guess I will have to stay up tonight worrying about women's tennis.

So if a woman's sport gets the death penalty for cheating does that mean LSU would have to shut down 2 men's teams? How does that BS work? NM. I see this was asked

Trojans lost a natty and Reggie Bush lost a heisman after the NCAA came to town to investigate women's tennis violations.

I'm a little worried about baseball but football doesnt win enough to be cheating.
