Possible West Va Violations?
I was listening to ESPN radio while working on a little homework, and during the most recent 20 minute sportscenter update, they mentioned something about an investigation at West Virginia about possible violations. And unfortunately they had to throw on the "under Rich Rodriguez's administration". Has anyone heard anything on this? And could it potentially have any implications on us?
man i hope not, this would just by the Druwish Princess to our Lonestar..."that's all i need."
You inspired the current Free Press front page story. Snyder was watching MGoBlog like a hawk.
my b
A certain Bball has made his entire career based on that loophole.
I say RR make up serious shit and "self-report" the hell out of WVA.
Take that mofos!!
Yea the first thought that came to mind was "oh dirtbag Calipari seems fine". I guess I'm just a little more concerned with the media firestorm that would pile on to all the other shit we've dealt with.
Un-fucking-believable. When is this shit gonna end.
Now this thread may be enough to cue a meltdown(No offense to the Amani Toomer thread).
The difference between this and John Calaparri, is the media is smitten with Calaparri, while RR in the last couple of years has become a punching bag.
Yea I felt bad about posting this. I absentmindedly wrote "fuck" in my notebook as I heard them bring this up. And now I'll go sit in class for 3 hours... sweet day.
I'm sure if Caliparri wasn't winning they will jump on him too, but college basketball is much different than college football. As soon as Rich Rod starts winning again, all will be forgotten, its part of their game.
That he shredded everything when he left.
Good point. Wasn't that a big deal when he left? I can't imagine there's much to look through.
Should i shred my avatar ?
Did some body say Shredder? Oh wait... never mind.
(not to be confused with Gob from Arrested Development).
Seriously, will the onslaught of shit sandwiches ever end?

"I've made a huge mistake"
They probably figure if it happened here it must have happened at WV. I don't know the precedent on this, but I would imagine they try to find out just how long this sort of thing has gone on. I hope they give us our punishment before anything turns up at WVU. Can't help but wonder if something did turn up what it would do as far as our penalty goes( even though they should be viewed as separate institutional problems).
Sorry, but with all of the vitriol aimed at RR after leaving WVU, I don't believe a word coming out of there. They would probably happily accept a major violation for WVU as long as it would give RR a black eye.
I guess what I meant to say was that it makes sense that the NCAA was looking at the last school RR was at to see if the same thing went on there. I wasn't saying that he did anything wrong there. Sorry for the confusion.
I know what you mean. It just wouldn't surprise me if the WVU folks were cheering this story, even though they might be on the hook for any violations that are found.
It doesn't "make sense", and punishment doesn't carry over.
... talking point 154.
I'm done caring until we...
A) Lose scholarships
2. Are banned from post season play
D- Obtain a sub .500 record for a 3rd straight season
Once those start to happen, I will become much more concerned/enraged.
Home Alone reference for the +1
the NCAA visited West Virginia about possible rules violations that took place prior to December 2007? No wonder the NCAA cannot get around to USC and their lies of a "massive scale" under Tim Floyd, Pete Carroll and Mike Garrett. This is complete bullshit to me. If the violations are not RR's doing, then this is a complete farce. I'm sure the painter (Stewart) is involved and that's where the focus should be.

Ok, I feel better now. So, does anyone think Devin will start against UConn?
You my friend are a WordSmith.
lets just throw another log on the "Rodriguez is scumbag" fire
Please just win so all this shit just stops.
I echo the above sentiments that I just don't care anymore. Until Rich Rod is fired or Michigan gets the death penalty it's just a bunch of hot air.
NCAA just back tracking to see if Rodriquez has a past history of what "allegedly" went on at Michigan?
if they find evidence that it occurred at WVa, then it may impact RR's credibility in the UM investigation -- and undercut some of the inadvertent arguments that were being made a few weeks back.
if RR within the current UM investigation has said "i didn't know that was against the rules, it's how i've always been doing it" then of COURSE the NCAA is going to follow up on his prev coaching position. they're not looking for a body, they're just doing due diligence.
i legitimately couldn't care less.
of doing what every other major program in the country is doing? Yeah, I'm going there!
I suspect that if they do some serious digging, that they will find that RR did similar things at WV that has come up in the UM investigation, because the accusations and finding are complete garbage.
Why doesn't the NCAA turn their attention on Florida, Alabama, USC, Texas, Oklahoma, etc. to see how many hours they fucking practice a week?
Until I hear otherwise, I'm going to assume that it was the same sort of issues we've had. Which would make sense, he didn't suddenly forget how to count stretching time. If there's nothing new and west virginia is just "guilty" of the same things Michigan was, I don't see how this makes one bit of difference.
when can we expect the story on rules violations at Glennville State?
Looks like I picked a bad day to stop sniffing glue.
because school supplies are on clearance right now.
sounds to me like NCAA doing due dilligence to see if there was a pattern of non-compliance by Rodriguez regarding practice time and the other accusations. Since there's no time associated with the NCAA visits of WV, I wouldn't be surprised if the WV story broke as a result of a flurry of FOIA requests flying around by various newspapers asking the extent of the NCAA's investigation into RichRod. If I was a jilted lover, er school, damn right I'm confirming that investigators talked to me about my ex.
Essentially, I'm just taking a "move along" approach until the final results and Michigan's response is presented.
...Rosenberg was behind this? Doing a little snooping around on R&R in Morgantown?
Could be Rosenberg, Snyder, Beckett, some slappy from the Coal Mine Gazette... with the UM press conference where they acknowledged what the NCAA accusations were, it doesn't take a PhD in journalism to start sending out FOIA requets to every school Rodriguez was associated with to see if they were contacted by the NCAA.
The bottom line is: the witch hunt is on and will only stop (or be mitigated) by a slap on the hand by the NCAA AND a winning season in 2010.
... until that little newspaper in Detroit links to this report and puts it right at the top of the page... (sigh)
Above the story of the woman pleading guilty for killing four teenagers while driving drunk.
Don't click on it.
(I'm not clicking on it, I'm just pointing at it.
Don't point at it. Don't even look at it.)
As of 3:12 PM Eastern time, I have been informed that this is the top page center story on a certain local papers website. I refuse to visit the site, so I can neither confirm or deny this report, but it came from my Father, so I would assume he was not lying to me.
Not even funny this time, not sure why...
Without the distraction of actual sporting events these negative stories hit hard and linger. Reason 1,546 the offseason sucks.
..is looking up all of Rodriguez's old posts and negging all of them.
Good God it is only April 13th
