If you guys are talking so much about those SEC schools cheating, what's to say that UNC and Duke aren't?

3/14/2008 3:52:14 PM

any program that isnt doing well will claim that programs that are doing well are cheating. It stupid, childish, juvenile bullshit that most people out grow... but some dont.



"waa waa, you are better than us, you cheat! I'm taking my basketball and going home"

"not cheat at all" != "cheats and continues to get away with it"

3/14/2008 3:57:50 PM

ok, well hand over your top secret documents and tapes that you have but the NCAA somehow does not. Go ahead, do it, we will face our punishment like brave NC State Knights!

3/14/2008 3:59:22 PM

if we had cheated, we would've certainly been caught, therefore we werent cheating!

3/14/2008 4:00:26 PM

if the NCAA looked into it for 3 years, THREE years, and found nothing, then they must be.... GUILTY!


your logic is perfect. I cant challenge that.

3/14/2008 4:01:21 PM

'If ya ain't cheatin', ya' ain't tryin"



I think it's an SEC bylaw or something

3/14/2008 4:04:10 PM

They can't POSSIBLY cover something up for 3 years!

I would guess most major schools commit some violations. An example of shady activity at Duke,

Quote :

"According to the Times-Picayune's Josh Peter, in the summer of 2000 Vivian Harper, mother of Duke incoming freshman point guard Chris Duhon, moved from her home in Slidell, La., to a two-bedroom apartment in Durham, N.C. She was given a job at a firm called NCM Capital Management Company, a billion-dollar money management firm owned by a man named Maceo Sloan, among whose possessions is an autographed basketball signed by the 1991 Duke championship team, Coach K's first title squad. Workers at the firm say the job was never posted. They also allege that Harper was given a substantial raise within four months. There's more. Peters also reports that Carlos Boozer Sr., the then-unemployed father of former Duke star Carlos Boozer, was given a job at GlaxoSmithKline, a pharmaceutical company owned by Robert Ingram, who is a close friend of Coach K's. In order to take the job, the elder Boozer relocated from Alaska. "

^^ so if they are so good about covering it up how did the Private Investigation firm of TreeTwista Inc. discover it? and why did you withhold your "smoking gun" from the NCAA?

[Edited on March 14, 2008 at 4:14 PM. Reason : f]

TreeTwista, Inc. is like the deepthroat of these matters.

3/14/2008 4:26:40 PM

exactly.

jaybee will crawl on hands and knees to the end of the earth to get the last word in any tennessee thread on a non-tennessee messageboard

all the while ignoring the blatantly obvious cheating at UT

oj is innocent, bonds and clemens never juiced, etc...after all, they were never caught!

3/14/2008 4:32:51 PM

HA, look who is talking.


and is it "blatantly obvious" or "cunningly covered up", you keep flip flopping on that


and for the 3rd time, we established that there is just a SLIGHT difference between a criminal trial with a jury of random people and a board or committee formed by a group for the sole purpose of examining a team that they think might be in violation. They wouldn't be looking at the school unless they thought something was there, so if a school is found innocent then its saying a lot.

so its ME who always has to get the last word in Tennessee threads?

riiiight....let alone that comment proves that you cannot possibly stand not getting the last word in a tennessee thread...oh no how dare you talk shit about tennessee! i'll post and post and post until you stop!

not really...sometimes people are guilty but get found not guilty...just like OJ...and tennessee

3/14/2008 4:38:13 PM

fight fight

3/14/2008 4:38:29 PM

ok fine, this is the last post in the thread, we will call a truce

3/14/2008 4:39:31 PM

btw i hope yall beat out UNC for the #1 seed in the East

that shit would be hilarious if the Tarholes didnt get to play their opening games in Charlotte

3/14/2008 4:39:59 PM

see!


as I said, since you know they are guilty, pass along your secret dossier to the NCAA since apparently they didnt have enough evidence to find them guilty.


and UNC has the #1 in the east. Tenn will get the #1 in birmingham

3/14/2008 4:42:34 PM

Only way that might happen is if UNC loses to VaTech tomorrow and UT wins the SEC. Even then, I dont think UT can take the east from the Tarholes.

3/14/2008 4:44:27 PM

actually fuck tennessee, i hope those faggots get beat in the first round

3/14/2008 4:54:51 PM

Hey tennwa33 is Indiana basketball a big-time program?

I seem to recall a coach of theirs being forced to resign within the last month because of NCAA violations.

3/14/2008 4:58:25 PM

^FTW

3/14/2008 5:27:47 PM

So what kind of school is UT?

I know they have a med school...

3/14/2008 5:31:30 PM

Flagship university of the State, have pretty much everything except Pharmacy grad school (which is Memphis). The system there isnt really setup like it is in NC. Tennessee Tech is "technically" haha the engineering school, but UTK has a bigger and better college of engineering.


If you go to college in Tennessee it pretty much breaks down like this (in really really broad terms)

anything medical aside from pharmacy = Vandy
pharmacy = Memphis
teaching = Austin Peay
if you are black = Tennessee State
farming shit = UT-Martin
everything else = UTK

3/14/2008 6:14:50 PM

^^^^I'm not saying big time schools don't ever get punished, I'm saying the NCAA is less likely to severely punish major programs. A coach resigning doesn't really fall into this category. No scholarships were taken away, and they are still eligible for the post season.

3/14/2008 6:40:10 PM

Quote :

"pharmacy = Memphis"

Not exactly

Pharmacy = University of Tennessee at Memphis
not the University of Memphis (their majors generally envolve ballin' and/or deliverin' pizza)

3/14/2008 6:59:50 PM

but vandy is private and expensive.

3/14/2008 7:01:45 PM

yeah... never said it wasnt

3/14/2008 7:07:17 PM

i doubt i couldve gotten in. i dont know their standards for admission, but i bet it's decently high.

3/14/2008 7:20:36 PM

its high but nothing retarded. Funny thing is that even with the tuition being a TON higher than UTK it would have been cheaper for me to go there, they offer a lot more scholarships than UTK (which doesnt have to because everyone wants to go there). But I wanted to do engineering and it was better than Vandy in that area.

3/14/2008 7:34:28 PM

Bruce Pearl lost in the clutch today.

Tennessee will not stand this unchecked winlessness.

3/15/2008 9:15:53 PM

hahaha, he could fuck Mike Hamilton and Pat Summitt in the ass at the same time and still get a raise

3/16/2008 2:10:01 AM

This was a good game for them, it will make pearl bitch at them for being weak and pathetic. They will be hungry from now on hopefully because of this loss, not locking the SEC auto bid, and most likely dropping down from a 1 seed.

ARK (who is in most likely) or UGA is getting an auto bid, but tommorow I have to root for UGA. Not only would they lock up the auto bid with 3 wins in 27 hours, but they would be the team I root for the rest of the tourney beside TN.

[Edited on March 16, 2008 at 4:40 AM. Reason : it's easy to be slack when you know you're getting a 1 or 2 bid]

Great article on StateFans about Pearl.

Quote :

"* Pearl has a huge connection to NC State as he was once married to a woman related to Norm Sloan (niece? cousin?) He brought is UW-M team to the RBC a few years ago and openly praised the tradition and history of the NC State program. Many close to him and familiar with the situation felt as though he was launching trial balloons and signalling his obvious interest for NC State to be the place where he would take his next step. "
