Bump Infraction

[BiGdNtN]

Is Bruce and UT fighting the "bump" infraction that occured 4 days after his apology presser. I read on another site that UT was fighting the charge and felt we had a winnable case. Anybody heard this?

Very interesting.

Haven't heard anything but how do you fight that? He was either there or he wasn't. Seems cut and dry to me.

just being there isn't necessarily an infraction

Being there is not synonomous with a bump infraction and it is not illegal to say a brief hello either.

Bruce is probably insisting he was in Knoxville.

it's been talked about plenty. It was in the NCAA letter and UT will have the opportunity to fight/answer every allegation in there.

They are fighting the fact that is not a major violation. It is usually a minor violation, and we got a major violation for it.

Wes Rucker quote on 247 site under Sports Illusrated thread.

Doesn't the letter say it was a 2.5-3 minute conversation? It wasn't too intelligent to have the conversation, but I suppose there could be room for an argument. I wasn't there.

Yeah, hopefully the NCAA doesn't have a photo of Tony Jones with the recruit to show Bruce.

 

[Bassmanbruno]

yeah it shouldn't be a major violation - I think they just made it major due to the timing since it was right after his press conference apology - but before the recruiting suspension.

This.

Pearl wasn't there and doesn't even know the kid he is accused of bumping. That's why the university didn't consider it a violation to report.

I believe it was around 3min. There was also something mentioned around a picture taken but can't remember the specifics

 

[BasketvolsFan]

If he does have to admit being there, he actually thought the kid was the coach.

At this point i say take your medicine and move on! 'Fighting' with the AA doesn't seem sensible at this point and time.

Why should UT just bend over and take it from the NCAA? Arguing our point got the Failure to Monitor charge in football placed on Kiffin and not the program. I say go for it.

There is only one coach who engaged in a fight with the NCAA and actually won. He hasn't coached at UNLV in a long time.

so blame it on bruce?

 

[BasketvolsFan]

Absolutely, if UT is smart.

Thats not what I said and you know it.

then why the Kiffin comparision?

 

[Orange Blazer]

then why the Kiffin comparision?

Because UT fought the charge and it was taken off of them. I didn't say use the same strategy, I simply said it would be crazy not to fight the charges.
