The NCAA placed West Virginia's athletic department on two years' probation Wednesday for recruiting violations involving illegal text messages and phone calls in 14 sports.

Thanks Littlecat.

 

[LouderVol]

meh, just some phone calls and texts. I don't really see what the big deal was unless they were Brett Favre style texts.

Wow thanks for the info

That's probably what Kelvin Sampson thought too... In recruiting every bit of contact counts. Although it seems here the biggest offender was a coach of the women's gymnastics team, so not really worth a mention.

I just find it funny schools are busted for this stuff when much bigger violations occur. I mean, wasn't there a recent picture of a recruit holding a was of cash? Maybe it was fake, but serious crap seems to go away.

Bigger situations occur, become public knowledge, proven, and still nothing is done, like Auburn/Newton, FSU/Winston, North Carolina/everything, etc.

WVU doesn't affect the bottom line or produce enough eyeballs to get preferential treatment (not that they should).

Pretty much!

I hope that Kentucky's new OC, who came from WVU, is not implicated.

the article doesn't say how much 'illegal contact' there was. was this one phone call and a dozen texts over a two days? if so not a problem, if this was something going on for a month or so then yeah i could see that being an issue

Ask Nancy Kerrigan

I just saw where Florida is about to hold a presser concerning NCAA infractions as well. Not gonna start a low thread cause I can't link.

Not that I've heard, other than the investigation.

Butch Davis got fired but that was before the recent investigation finished
