Tribble is gone. An assistant football coach is gone and Donnie Jones suspended for 3 games without pay.

That wasn't just an assistant football coach ... He was their best recruiter .... Of course now we see why.

I'm not for sure I'm understanding this:

The NCAA further alleged Caldwell and Bender paid the tuition and fees for UCF men's basketball players, including $11,190 in tuition and fees for a men's basketball player

Was this a walk-on?

Maybe, maybe not. The players cited in the report, the subject of the violations, never made it to UCF. But in general, yes...he must have more than just a smooth line to get kids to sign.

The walk on was probably the kid from Istanbul I think? Son of some royalty...I think. Forget his name.....will look for it. Probably DoÄŸukan Kuzucan.....but that is just a guess.

ON TOP OF ALL THIS:

5 of their basketball players are being suspended for unrelated issues.

Some for eligibility issues, some for undisclosed violations of team rules. The rumor is weed:

What's ironic is we always thought y'all were using the imminent BCS invite to lure some of those players .... B)

Re: DoÄŸukan Kuzucan. i think I had read that Caldwell was actually his legal guardian. If in fact this is the player in question...

can we invite Temple instead? Big East doesn't need the Clown College or its NCAA violations.

****, i'd take FAU or FIU if Marinatto is intent on a FLA school.
