I don't think anyone should speculate until the NCAA hands them a document with violations.

If the NCAA hands the document to UCONN, then it gets worse. If it happens that way UCONN is displaying a lack of institutional control, which has already been vetted by Yahoo. This could get ugly for UCONN. Not being a fan of the do-gooders we call the NCAA, I hate to say that!

Agreed. All we know are "reports" from journalists, and journalists are experts at absolutely nothing.

Jim, maybe some of that "considerably more than $1.6 million" could go toward hiring someone to read the rules.

He's guilty. I hope they fire the prick.

Proper response:

We are aggressively evaluating anything that could be a problem for our program and for our beloved institution. The integrity of our school is the most important thing we have and we intend to guard that jealously. Please give us time to complete a thorough and painstaking review. You've seen the NCAA rule book and our diligence requires a great a deal of checking and double checking.

We look forward to meeting with the press to sharing our findings and to communicating the results of our inquiry with the rest of the country as soon as they are completed and vetted. Thank you for your time and understanding.

Agreed. Calhoun's response almost sounds like a confession.

"Jim Calhoun is officially dancing. Not the dance into the NCAA Tournament, the Big Dance..."

Um, he's dancing there, too.

Calhoun is a bufoon and a disgrace to the academic community. His graduation rate is around 22%. I hope the NCAA nails this guy and sends a message to the UConns of the world.
