I don't want to be negative. I know nothing about this, but if the VD5 article is accurate, then we have a problem.

 

When the NCAA begins an "Official Investigation" they actually had been looking into things and feel reasonably sure there is something wrong.

 

The letter VD5 referenced is not the start but a mid point in things like this.

Miami has a brand the NCAA was not willing to trash. We are a non P5 school with no brand or history. They would have no problem nuking us just to flex their muscle and show they are still relevant.

Oh great.  A crazy dad is mad that his son doesn't play for USF and is now trying to drag us through the mud.  I just hope that we weren't too bad with Egbunu's recruitment.

I always wondered what happened to Davis, especially because it originally sounded like Egbunu signed here under the dad's advice, who obviously was looking for a landing place for his kid.  Take Drew Davis out of the picture and we've got this mess?  Hope the infractions were minor, cause the old man is gonna sing like a canary.

If the article is accurate about what? There is not one specific piece of info in that article, other than USF supposedly receiving a letter of inquiry "soon." Nothing at all to suggest what, if anything, is alleged, or how valid it is. Nothing at all.

 

A Google search for "NCAA letter of inquiry" turns up lots and lots of results from recent years - some wound up being major stuff, but most were pretty minor, nothing worth freaking out about. And several amounted to basically nothing.

 

There is still no reason to freak out at all, more info is needed to make a judgment.

Hope the NCAA understands that an angry father is more than likely going to largely inflate the truth.

Pathetic on both parts. USF should have kept their hands clean

 

Shouldn't you wait until USF has actually been accused of something specific, and see what evidence there is to support the accusations, before you make this statement?

 

Right now, here's the whole story: Bitter father says bad things about university that didn't take his son.

 

From that, you get, "USF should have kept their hands clean" ... how, exactly?

We could have used a John Stockton this year.

Oh come on, what NCAA athletics department is clean? But, sure it was premature. 

 

 

So, now it's everyone's dirty, but we should keep our hands clean?

Mods, please adjust the title of this thread to reflect the USF MBB NCAA investigation.  Jumped the gun on the non-specific title.  Thanks.

 

What exactly do you want it to say? You may not agree with what my thoughts on that crap piece of "journalism" ...   ;)

I guess "Potential MBB NCAA Investigation" would cover it? Thanks.

Personally I think the title was very fitting given the recent hullabaloo on the forums.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
