U of L starts Spring Practice today....Lamar Jackson
- Thread starter Tonycried
- Start date
Hollywood beat 'em to it...but it will be a clash of the Titans! We need to find a way to corral Mr. Jackson!
Hey, its fun ...not life and death!I've developed a real appreciation for your and Humpy's smack talk recently.
I would not want to be him! He'll be reduced to a pass blocker by the second half.
I think the Herd will be ready to play to be sure...but it'll be a challenge beating that bunch!
I have never seen a person/fan base so afraid of a player from Louisville for God's sake. But, I guess I understand.
Don't recall WVU cowering in fear, or putting up shrines to honor DeMarco Murray, Sam Bradford, and Jermaine Gresham before our next to last BCS Bowl victory. Or, Andre Ellington, DeAndre Hopkins, and Sammy Watkins before our last. We just went out and punched them in the teeth, and weren't intimidated.
But, good luck with this kid, whoever he is. I did find out he was the #5 prospect out of his county.

Look at what Brohm did to them the last 2 years. That's why 1 decent player scares them.[/QUOTE]

Yes because your head coach high fiving the opposing QB is the gold standard on how to not fear a great player. Especially after he's owned you for two years as well

I'd say doc is doing great with Seider's recruits but then again only 1 championship in 6 years in a weakened CUSA is not that great

Is the game being played in the NFL? I thought you were still a college team

You mean from the gymnastics team sending too many texts? Not sure.
Also not sure how that's relevant to a conversation involving paying players.

Whatever his name is.........I'd say 99.9% of all college experts would agree that Boykin was a better college QB. Not even close.

Oh really? Second time you've been on probation this decade. And note, yes I'm speaking about football. So either you're cheaters and turned yourself in before you got caught or you're AD is too stupid to use its own fvcking software, which is it?
West Virginia gets 2 years' probation
- comment
- Associated Press
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- 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.
The NCAA said a Division I infractions committee determined that coaches in 14 sports sent impermissible texts and made phone calls to prospects and parents between June 2010 and February 2013. Most of the infractions occurred in women's gymnastics, football, women's basketball and women's soccer.
Most of the women's gymnastics violations were committed by one assistant coach, who was placed under a one-year show-cause penalty, cannot recruit during a 30-day signing period and must attend an NCAA regional rules seminar.
The committee determined that infractions in other sports were limited.
The NCAA said several coaches involved in the violations believed there was a misunderstanding in some of the recruiting communication rules.
"Additionally, the school did not fully understand how to use compliance software it purchased to monitor phone and text activity," the NCAA said. "It wasn't until the software company updated the software that the school learned of the violations."
The NCAA said the violations occurred while the school was on two years' probation from a previous infractions case involving out-of-season coaching and the use of non-coaching staff to work with players.
West Virginia athletic director Shane Lyons was named last month to succeed Oliver Luck, who left for a position with the NCAA. Lyons said he was aware of the issue when he interviewed for the job.
"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," Lyons said. "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.
"Moving forward, I expect our department to continue its strong dedication to NCAA compliance."
In addition to the probation, West Virginia self-imposed penalties adopted by the panel that include a reduction of telephone contacts in the 14 sports for portions of the 2013-14 and 2014-15 academic years, reduced off-campus recruiting in football, women's soccer, women's basketball and men's basketball, and official visit restrictions in women's soccer.
The football team also was stripped of one scholarship for the 2013-14 academic year.
Associate athletic director Keli Cunningham said there was no failure to monitor, lack of institutional control or failure to promote an atmosphere of compliance.
"There was no systemic effort by any of our coaches to violate the rules or gain a significant recruiting advantage, and that is reflected by the NCAA's decision," Cunningham said. "We take this very seriously and we accept the NCAA's findings."
The probation period runs through Feb. 17, 2017.
I just skimmed it, but didn't see anything about impermissible benefits. Can you point that out for me?
Are you sure those are the only two options?
The article seems pretty clear about what happened.

Funny, WVU alum cheats on wife and is courtmartialed and you blame another school. WVU football team on probation twice in three years, justified by comparing to Marshall 16 years ago.
You want to blame WVU, when the incident happened 20+ years after he graduated and attended 2 other schools after WVU? And you question MY reasoning?
I'm not justifying anything ... just saying that such accusations ring hollow from a school that deliberately skirted the rules and tried to cover it up.
Nothing we've done comes close to comparing what Marshall has done.
You know, glass houses and all of that.
Is this where you just start repeating that same line over and over because you've got nothing else to say?
Nobody from Marshall ever ran afoul of the law?
Can you be specific in WVU's role in his criminal activity and can you be more specific regarding dates?
