Is WVU still on probation?
- Thread starter Marshall Jeff
- Start date
I forgot about envelopegate lol.
Maybe it's because I am enjoying this ranked team. You wouldn't understand.
Our self admitted screwups are nothing compared to what you were ejected from a conference for.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia University’s athletics was placed on two years NCAA probation Wednesday, the result of coaches in 14 sports sending “impermissible texts and placing impermissible calls to prospects and parents.” The NCAA reported the infractions primarily involved women’s gymnastics, football, women’s basketball and women’s soccer.
By agreeing to a summary disposition in the case, West Virginia cannot appeal the penalties, which include a reduction in off-campus recruiting in football and men’s basketball. The school announced it had self-imposed one reduced football scholarship for the 2013-14 academic year.
The violations occurred between June 2010 and February 2013, a period during which West Virginia was on probation from a previous infractions case involving major rules violations within the football program.
Oliver Luck, WVU’s athletics director during that span, resigned in December to become the NCAA’s executive vice president of regulatory affairs.
New AD Shane Lyons issued a response Wednesday:
“While I am disappointed with today’s NCAA report, I do take note that our department found the infractions, self-reported them and worked with the NCAA in full cooperation to address and correct the issues. I am confident that the department has taken the necessary steps to correct its compliance and recruiting software program, re-educate the staff on updated NCAA changes on the rules surrounding text messages and phone calls and fulfilled our obligations to the NCAA concerning the situation long before I started as athletic director back on Feb. 2.
“I was aware of this issue when I interviewed for the job, and it did not deter my confidence at all in West Virginia University. We are and always will be committed to the legislation policies of the NCAA. Moving forward, I expect our department to continue its strong dedication to NCAA compliance.”
Various coaches involved in the violations claimed they misunderstood recruiting communication rules, the NCAA reported. The athletics department “did not fully understand how to use compliance software it purchased to monitor phone and text activity,” and it wasn’t until the software company updated the software that the school learned of the violations, according to the NCAA’s findings.
The school claimed the violations concerned 66 telephone calls and 294 text messages.
Penalties handed down by the NCAA:

- A one-year show-cause order for a gymnastics assistant coach from Feb. 18, 2015 through Feb. 17, 2016. During this time, the assistant coach may not recruit during the 30 days before the 2015 spring NLI signing date. He must also attend an NCAA regional rules seminar. Finally, the panel acknowledged and adopted the school’s suspension of one competition for the assistant coach.
- Reduction of telephone communication in all 14 involved sports during portions of the 2013-14 and 2014-15 academic years.
- Reduction of off-campus recruiting in football, women’s soccer, women’s basketball and men’s basketball.
- Restrictions to official visits for the women’s soccer program.
- Reduction of one football scholarship for the 2013-14 academic year.
Yes. Your teams suck. No disagreement here. Thanks for stopping by Jeffey.
I think so. At least that's what I took away from the various excuses. That, and it appears twiggy was kept awake again last evening by his infant child.
this from a "college" whose emblem is a mop and a bucket?.......see it"s not good to bring up the past is it (12-0)...aren't you and jiffy late for prancing elites practice?........fools
We're talking the present, moron. You know, when you got caught cheating, while already in trouble for cheating. Probation for another year. Wouldn't bet against you getting caught again, while already being on probation for cheating, while already on probation for cheating. That would be back to back to back for yous'em people, so it won't be new to you, since the Herd has finished ahead of the ears back to back to back.
Actually, it's cheated while on probation for cheating.
You must be thinking of Marshall when you add the extras.
One probation because shells are considered a padded practice, the other because software to track contact with recruits wasn't configured properly.
In both cases we fully cooperated and self-reported. Not the cycle of cheat and deny prevalent at Marshall.
No, why would I be? I'm laughing and making fun of the ears for being repetitive violators of NCAA policy. Not to mention, your mouth is like a sausage factory.
Here's a tidbit for you, since you don't seem to know much of anything about anything.
The NCAA actually expects a significant number of schools to self-report violations because the code is complicated and ridiculous. They know this. They are actually more suspicious of schools that aren't reporting anything.
Get back to me when we've been kicked out of a conference and knocked down to the FCS level ... like <ahem> some schools have.
lol. You can attempt to act all 'holier than thou' all you want. Bottom line, you got caught cheating again. This time, you were caught cheating and placed on probation, while already doing time for being caught cheating. I know you can do it again. I just know it.
We weren't "caught" doing anything. We found the problem and self-reported.
Really, if you have to lie and make shit up to try to make a point, maybe you should be trying to make a different point. However, that's not the "Marshall way".
You guys were "caught". Your violations were blatant and deliberate. You guys lied and tried to cover things up. It is well documented. See, I don't have to make anything up at all, the truth is bad enough when it comes to you guys.
Which is precisely why we can claim the moral high ground that you previously said we couldn't. We screwed up, we self-reported, admitted it, took the punishment and made the corrections.
You continued to try to lie and deceive even after getting caught.
Even at an administrative level, we are superior to you in every way.
LMAO. Free doctorate degree to the governor's daughter, Ollie spending state money like it's his own, traveling the globe on the state's dime, back to back probations, drunken fans beating up pregnant women, nationally ranked in the top party schools, nationally ranked in the nation's dumbest fan base, and yet.............. you take the moral high ground.
Dayum, now that's funny. What's next. twiggy dave gonna claim he's a body builder?
These are all lies.
I do hope you keep up the twiggy dave, traci the wife and the little baby BS. Just because the moron riflearm got smart and disappeared after I made a complete and total fool of him is no reason that the whole board should not continue to mock the horsemen and him in particular for the mockery that I made of you all and your constant reminders are just what the board needs to keep up the laughs. Thanks.
These are well documented FACTS, despite what twiggy wants folks to believe. You see, twiggy's entire life is nothing but one huge lie. He's the message board Costanza.

Doesn't know the difference between news and opinion pieces
Don't think it was opinion that the Gov's daughter was awarded a cooked up MBA....that lead to head's rolling and some much deserved embarrassment to the " Flagship"
That wasn't ... but the eMBA program is still VERY highly respected. Didn't hurt us too much there.
I didn't say that either ... but I know two people that have graduated that program and one is a VP at a major pharmaceutical company and the other is a VP at a major bank.
I know a VP at a bank that the dumbest bastard you'd ever want to met....won't say where he went to school but a good thing his family owns the majority of the bank shares!
I know C ....own a 1000 shares! Help them if the fed raises rates but hurts other components of my portfolio! Ain't diversity a bitch?
Reminds me of Andy Griffith:
Barney Fife talking about investing "now what you do when you diversify is ... "
(I'm up 61% on my JCP play, bought at $7.12)
You may want to cash in on JCP rather soon, unless it's not a great sum of cash. The writing is on the wall...as they say.
