OT: SMU under NCAA investigation..
Pony Exce$$ 2: The Electric Boogaloo
Okay, not quite. This time, it's SMU Men's Basketball and academic improprieties.

Well I would hope it's not their football team, because if they were cheating to get to 1-11, that would be some pretty shitty cheating.
January 16th, 2015 at 4:11 PM ^
It's about time that the 5 hookers Craig James allegedly murdered receiver justice.
January 16th, 2015 at 5:15 PM ^
The gift that keeps on giving...

It was about time for Larry Brown to move on to another job anyway.
January 16th, 2015 at 4:11 PM ^
It is relevant to board, but honestly who cares anymore?
After Penn State, NC and OSU it just does not matter. M holds its head high, but only this board and the alumni care.
Hopefully this union thing or something else become the catalyst for a new college football alliance and they simplfy the rules, make them fair for the athletes and staff/fund enforcement exponentially higher.
I know doubtful.

It could indirectly affect us. If players are suspended, SMU could tank, which would hurt our RPI. We need them to have a strong season (in addition to us having a strong season, obviously) to help our tourney résumé.
January 16th, 2015 at 4:14 PM ^
Relevant to us because we play them next year in Dallas.
January 16th, 2015 at 4:33 PM ^
I am sure others want to see the info. I clicked on it, but after reading realized I just don't care.
Does anybody think OSU regrets Tatgate? Especially now?
The risk reward to to cheat in the NCAA is so skewed toward the cheaters, it just sucks.

I'm still pissed at Larry Brown for leaving the Pistons.
January 16th, 2015 at 4:18 PM ^
It was the Pistons who fired him. He had been flirting with other jobs, but the Pistons ultimately pulled the trigger.
January 16th, 2015 at 4:24 PM ^
Joe Dumars too then. LB was the best coach the team had since Chuck and until Stan.
January 16th, 2015 at 4:28 PM ^
Agree about LD being awesome, but I thought I heard that it was Davidson who made that call. Don't quote me on that though.
January 16th, 2015 at 4:43 PM ^
I remember him and Dumars both being pissed about Larry's flirting with other teams.
Still, should have found a way to keep him.
January 16th, 2015 at 9:56 PM ^
while sitting out games with a medical condition. He had a foot and a half out the door. I honestly think any reasonable owner or GM would have wanted to get rid of him after that.
January 16th, 2015 at 4:23 PM ^
I'm thinking this will be a okay then.
January 16th, 2015 at 4:23 PM ^

If a guy was academically ineligible, shouldn't the NCAA step in?
I know NCAA-bashing is trendy, but this seems like a pretty straightforward case.
January 16th, 2015 at 5:01 PM ^
January 16th, 2015 at 4:28 PM ^
So we beat SMU?!?!?!?!?! Does that mean we are off the bubble now?
January 16th, 2015 at 4:38 PM ^
January 16th, 2015 at 4:43 PM ^
What a surprise.
January 16th, 2015 at 4:44 PM ^
Let's hope SMU doesn't stretch for 20 minutes extra and raped little boys instead.
/s <-- for those of you who didn't see the forum topic I started today

Nice avatar dude.
January 16th, 2015 at 5:00 PM ^
I think someone on their basketball team must have lied under oath about how he didn't know about Craig James killing 5 hookers. #RememberTheFive
January 16th, 2015 at 4:55 PM ^
I would love if their football team would get good again.
January 16th, 2015 at 5:11 PM ^
According to SI.com, part of the Notice Of Allegations involves similar problems with the men's golf team at Southern Methodist as well. As I recall from the report, they fired their golf coach rather suddenly in August, so I have to think that the reason could be wrapped up in all this somewhere. Either way, not the sort of distraction you want for your 13-4 team at the moment.
January 16th, 2015 at 5:50 PM ^
This is not surprising. They are recruiting too well for their stature as a school for there not to be funny business.
January 16th, 2015 at 6:55 PM ^

or so they say.

Can someone receive the death penalty twice?
