Full disclosure: I live in Mansfield, CT. If UConn sues, and they should, they will win because this was ex post facto. That will never fly in the courts. Debate whatever else you wish to debate but this is the critical piece.

Jonvi,


I actually agree with here. I am totally against expost facto-ism......I like the NCAA rule, but it needs to have a starting point when the rule was in place.   

 

 

Reposting because I mis-spelled a key word messng up my post.

I feel for UConn here because if the rule didn't change, they would not be in violation.  It changed and their previous years count.  That doesn't seem right to me.  This is no different than telling a studed student in 2010, a 2.0 is passing.  Then changing the rule in 2012 stating a 2.5 is passing and a 2.4 is failing.  Then telling that same student he failed the previous two years because we changed the rules.

I know many of you want to hate on UConn...go for it.  They've been a thorn in my side for years.  But wrong is wrong.  Changing the rules and back dating the results is a fraud in itself.   

Now if you just want to get UConn....it worked.  Nice shot man.  

This rule became public at the end of last bball season.  Because the rule takes the previous four year period of evaluation, though UConn WAS in compliance the last four years....because of the rule change, they are no longer in complaiance....again...over the last four years.  That just isn't right. 

So, UConn is upset about their waiver to play in the '13 tournament being denied...big deal. They are being held up to the rules the NCAA set up to insure minimal standards are being met to graduate the athletes that they haven't met.. Whose fault is that?? The entire athletic department at UConn is at fault, especially the self-righteous coach Calhoun. This decision should be upheld and they should pay the price for not meeting the standards. If they don't meet the standards for 2014, that's their own fault.

Why not do something meaningful?  Make them vacate their national championship for 2011.  It's about time the NCAA put some teeth in their rulings.  Coach's Calhoun and Calapari are two of the most crooked coaches to ever coach the game.  It is time to get rid of both of them and remove them completly from college coaching. 

Funny how a UMass fan is crying about UConn.....

Calipari never cheated????

And your a Pats fan crying about cheating Yawk?....i mean Redseat??????
