Report: At least 6 college basketball teams to be hit with major NCAA violations this summer
It’s been a rough couple of years for college basketball, as a number of programs have faced scrutiny from both the FBI and the NCAA.
After a recent spate of federal trials, it seemed as if the NCAA was sitting on its hands and not doing anything, which seemed strange.
However, that may not be the case, as CBS Sports reporter Dennis Dodd wrote on Wednesday that at least six college basketball programs would be notified of major violations this summer:
Stan Wilcox, NCAA vice president for regulatory affairs, said two high-profile programs would receive notices of allegations by early July.
The remaining four would be rolled out later in the summer in what was described as a wave of NCAA investigations meant to clean up major-college basketball.
“There’s even another group of cases that we’re still working on,” Wilcox said. “The main thing is that we’re up and ready. We’re moving forward and you’ll see consequences.”
Wilcox didn’t mention which programs were going to be accused of wrongdoing, so now we’re left to speculate whether any SEC programs will be caught up in the accusations.
LSU and Auburn have both had some issues the past couple of years, so we’ll see if either of them are named or if the SEC steers clear of this wave of violations.
Both the Auburn and LSU basketball programs should get the death penalty for their parts in the pay to play scandal…it’s not heresy, it’s guilty pleas and conversations admitted to in open court and caught on tape. So all you supporters don’t come here attacking me because the guilt is theirs not mine, instead be righteous for a change….every one had an opinion on Louisville but where are the opinions when it’s your school
From what I understand LSU was involved in pay to play but Auburn was not. Chuck Person took bribes to steer athletes to certain agents and financial advisors which is still wrong and illegal but not pay to play.
I dunno man. I could just look at Bruce Pearl and know that he’s a walking NCAA violation.
Auburn and LSUs situations are entirely different from each other..
Auburn’s was Chuck Persons acted alone and was steering players to sign with agents and advisors for when they left Auburn. He was actually working against Auburn.
LSUs seems to be pay for play.
Chuck Person is a major part of the Auburn program, and has been for years and years…so they can’t use the Petrino defense of not knowing, burying their head in the sand and claiming ignorance….
was* a major part. He will be prison soon. The FBI has already came and left and cleared Pearl and the program. 2 players sat out the 2017-2018 season and part of this past season because of it. Nothing will be done at Auburn. Keep dreaming.
I don’t know if I would call a 3 year assistant a major part of the program. He also wasn’t Pearl’s choice. Nothing he did was about recruiting or an advantage for Auburn. The NCAA has already looked into it and punishments have already been dealt to those involved. You’re just a sad little person that’s hoping for something bad to happen.
The death penalty. Pretty harsh there, Judge Bean
Stop it Dawg. UGA Basketball sucked in 2019 but has the #1 recruiting class in NCAAM? Auburn is clean regarding these bribes to steer players to agents. What UGA and UAT do is bribe INFLUENCERS to the Athletes they recruit. That is the Process. UAT was found guilty of doing this with the Albert Means Coaches. The NCAA is defenseless to this depth of corruption and the State Medias would not attempt to dig into these two teams. I hear UGA will be having a little visit soon. UAT is just the best at getting cover, but this FBI investigation will soon spill over to their dealings with Uncles Aunties HC Mom Dad AKA Handlers.
LMAO… Who is UAT? Also how many teams have been punished for cheating by the NCAA at some point? If we’re just going to go back in time and point at a spot a school got in trouble as proof it’s happening now then the NCAA might as well sanction every school…. Pointing fingers at someone else because you got caught just makes you look like a bit$h..
When I read the headline the first team that came to mind was LSU
they need to spend more time investigating Clemson….
You really need a hobby other than bashing clemPson. I hate them too but cone on. Give it a rest or maybe go to an acc site.
how much did they pay to have their PED program immunity? Serious question.
LSU would be the main team, and quite possibly the only team from the SEC that will find trouble here.
I don’t know how LSU will be able to wiggle offa this one as it wasn’t some vague intermediary or asst., it was the head coach himself….we’ll see what happens, the NCAA may not even be looking there….LSU allowed him to return to work so they must have had some NCAA assurances…
I don’t know any more than has been reported, but it doesn’t look good for Wade or LSU at this point.
This loon pretending to be a liar is just spreading innuendo cause he obviously is jealous of LSU and Auburn.
The FBI had to act before the NCAA would risk not being friends with their best little buddies. Sick national association of money bagging. Could we get the FBI to arrest some of those head turning officials.
You may be the dumbest person to ever post on SDS…
