NCAA appeal still in play
While Hawaii officials sounded down on the prospect of appealing the NCAA’s sanctions ruling against the UH basketball program last Tuesday, they did not rule it out entirely.
It turns out an appeal of the sanctions — a 2016-17 postseason ban, three years of probation and two docked scholarships for the next two years — is very much still a possibility.
Hawaii athletic director David Matlin said in a message UH has until Jan. 6 to decide whether to appeal, and that there has been “no final call yet.”
What do you think? Should UH appeal for the possibility of reducing the heavy handed penalties, at the cost of dragging out this process for many more months?
——————
UH (9-2) takes on Mississippi Valley State (0-13) of the SWAC tonight at 7 at the Stan Sheriff Center.
Should point guard Roderick Bobbitt score 30 again, he will become the first UH player to do so in three straight games.
Will it cost taxpayers more money? I think general public, getting tired of UH admin/counsel/ compliance dealings with Gib situation.
Could have handled better? Surely, avoided a lot of problems.
Drag out for How long?
If UH could accept a POST SEASON BAN This season? And save for next season charge back to NCAA tournament for returning Jrs to be seniors.. I think that is an option too.
Just get it over with? Too long already…
Brian:
With NCAA post season ban. Does that rule out possblity for pay for play tournaments.. I think there might be 3? CBI, CIT and another one?
Know that NCAA runs Both the NCAA and NIT tournaments, so the ban would be for those tournaments only?
Thanks in advance, if you know..or can find out.
Why are they even questioning if they should? Does it cost anything to appeal? Do they risk further penalties if they appeal? If the answer is no or attorney’s fees they should do it.
We have a law school right there on the campus. Couldn’t we get this to be a project for some of the students? Have we checked to see if there is an attorney out there who is a BIG TIME supporter of UH and the Basketball Program that might be willing to represent the cause?
The post season ban for next season is only a small part that will impact the program. We must remember that once a program is put on probation, the players are free to leave for another program without having to sit out. If the post season ban could be negotiated out of the penalties, then we may be able retain some of the current players from this season. Maybe the 3 year probation penalty could be brought down to one year too.
Yes they should appeal. The post season ban next year should be the target of the appeal. If we have an exodus of our juniors it will will set a promising program back. We have already cleaned house (coaches, former AD).
I thought NCAA stood for No Can Appeal Anykine?
This is a “no-brainer”…We need to appeal…The NCAA has already acknowledged that there were no Level 1 violations and that the violations could have been mitigated if not for “internal squabbling” within the UH athletic program…One question we should ask the NCAA is whether they’d reduce the penalties if we got rid of the compliance officer who apparently escalated the problems that they cited. We cleaned house of all the offenders, but maybe, they think we didn’t completely get rid of the offenders.
GO WARRIORS! Hey!. UH should get up from sitting on they’re butt and fright back!. Because they’re others larger Universities did same things like UH did or more. They only get a slap on the wrist!. Just like University of Kentucky and University of Louisville and lots more . It’s because of one thing? ( MONEY! ). and the NCAA won’t touch them!. Because they will lose big time money!. UH and Universities should file a law suit against the NCAA!. They might change there mind not pick on other small Universities like Hawaii. Because, I hate to see University of Hawaii goes to this and others don’t!. It’s a BS!. Because remember eight years ago it happen to University of Oklahoma football program? They only gotten a slap on the wrist!. They’re should be on probation for five years just like the University of Hawaii basketball program went through in the 70!. It’s really seriously come down is money! . Just fine a way to fright back!. Because got to stop! . But great news is the new head coach at UNLV said that? The University really needs of a new stadium. Because we Hawaiian who come to see our football plays at Sam Boyds Stadium. It’s really look like they are playing in a high school stadium!. Because Aloha Stadium looks 100% better then over here!.
Sure, but UH needs to FIRE! Amanda Patterson 1st. That’ll rid UH of all the people involved with the NCAA infractions. Why not show the NCAA you mean business doing so
Brian : You all at Star Advertiser , should as Pocho hilites, and many, many other fans , donors supporters of UH, and vested interests.. Don’t like the fact that Amanda Paterson, was given a raise and promoted.. yet SHE WAS named as part of dysfunction, and tense atmosphere with Gib and his MBB program
Be bold and highlight, investigate that aspect. I agree with Pocho. Amanda Paterson, how the hey, does she get off free and clear? Just like she had NO part in this mess. seems like UH is being punished more so as AN institution.. not only directed at Gib. the Admin .. is being punished.. Matlin can you explain that promotion of Amanda Paterson.. ? does not make sense.. she should be disciplined too,. then NCAA might , listen to UH appeal..
Yes our university should appeal this decision. NCAA was too harsh for these violations. I wonder what kind of penalties North Carolina and other power 5 teams that are currently under investigation will receive.
I agree with poncho Amanda should go. She was part of the problem of the dsyfunctional athletic staff during Jay’s time.
Fire Patterson and appeal
I don’t think Amanda Paterson is inept nor was she dysfunctional as UH Compliance officer, the NCAA did cite her poor working relationship with Coach Gib but I put the blame squarely on Gib’s shoulders as well as his assistant coach and player personnel director. UH has 21, 22 sports and the only work place issue last season and prior was with MBB – and that is coach Gib.
Her job isn’t to protect UH against the NCAA by cheating or impeding any investigations, nor is she expected to look the other way when violations occur. For the greater good she has to protect the integrity of the UH athletic department and UH as an academic institution over any coach or sport that has crossed the line and violated NCAA by laws.
The NCAA sanctions are for violations of specific by laws and not Amanda Paterson’s management style or her conflict with Gib. So the blame rest solely on Gib, as the head coach his program violated NCAA rules. nuff said as grandpa Al would say.
The sad part of it all UNC Tarheels athletics will get a slap on the wrist. They will keep their wins and championship banners even though their athletes participated in 18 + years of enrolling in fake classes to remain eligible.
From time to time, the ncaa will punish a power 5 school such as usc. But, overall they won’t take down the school’s with traditional basketball powers because they bring in the most money year after year. And, I would imagine they are bound to TV contracts.
However, letting go Amanda Peterson is something that may help in their appeal process to the ncaa.
…Paterson…
Ralphtoo , common brah what you smoking man, stop defender this lady her bypassing ben jay and also not notify the coach what a cancer , the report says she was part of the problem, also the settlement was so lame they should have waited until the findings but no panic payoff gib and his lawyer 750,000 what a joke again one of many mistakes , then governor announces on the start in star that he turned down request for additional funds and on the same day ncaa announces , thank god for the men and there gift and effort for xmas made my entire week , now dave please appeal fight man to the end and boosters any up with the cost please somebody step up other then the ching family with the cost.
UH should definitely file an appeal. The administration needs to show support for the players and the new coaching staff, who are being punished for transgressions they didn’t commit. Having said that, the university should look to its in-house legal staff to do the filing. Don’t spend a fortune on outside counsel to file it.
2. poorboy … On page 25 of the Infractions Decision, it says the team “shall end it’s season with its last scheduled regular season game and be banned from post-season competition during the 2016-17 academic year.”
So that means no post season tournaments including any play- for -pay ones and the Big West tournament too.
——————————————————————————————–
As for UNC, their violations occurred before the new NCAA penalty structure was approved on Oct 30 , 2012 or went into effect on Aug 1, 2013, so they will probably get less severe penalties than if they were charged under the current penalty structure. That’s what happened for Syracuse who only got a one year post season ban plus vacating many victories and losing 2 scholarships for 4 years (after an appeal). They were charged with a Level I-Aggravated case, but the NCAA says most of their violations came before the new penalty structure was approved. UH was charged with a Level II-Aggravated case, but the NCAA says most of the violations came after the new penalty structure was approved.
Let’s grab Gib and do an old fashion / old West lynching … turn ’em over to the NCAA and see if that ‘ll appease them …
islandman:
Look at the scoreboard.. you know when a team down, they start taunting the team ahead. usually the winning team ..they just turn and say, bro.. just LOOK UP at the Scoreboard.
Gib-2 wins(LD settlement and lesser infraction degree some ncaa allegations.. and the homerun ball? Amanda Paterson part in dysfunction with UH MBB program, not wanting to help and not wanting to lift a finger to help them, really low balling.)
UH- 0 .. a shutout..
islandman: the irony.. NOW , UH probably needs to , if the Appeal, go back and have NCAA question same people. maybe get Gib involved again… and MAYBE this time.. work together as a Team, to fix things, correct. and even retract..
Ige , no wonder, he won’t give UH Manoa Athletics one dime.. they are totally inept. and created a mess with UH MBB progam, that could have been avoided completely.. WORK together, people.. Amanda. . still there as high priced assistant to Matlin? that is not pono.
And why UH not commenting publicly on Amanda Paterson? that is the question.. must be MORE there, more pilikia perhaps.. typical UH for getting things screwed up.. they have lost my vote of confidence. the MBB team? Benjy’s Bows? under Benjy if they hired him, like a snowball chance in a Volcano. he knew had to fine tune the half court Offense, and run that offense to perfection, and still pressure D up.. He would probably have team at 11-0 and in top 25. no question. that guy did not get enough support or credit for what he did. .and typical UH. they sweep him under the carpet.. yes.. this MBB/ ncaa thing.. UH not pono? will bite them in arse for years to come.. sad for the student athletes. we fans. and the families of MBB program going forward.. rah rah.. no just to much of the opposite.. Negative vibes from UH..
The unc tarheel program will go unpunished for their cheating. The ncaa will always delay punishment to a major program until they can find a way to minimize financial damage and still follow their own restructured rules.
A major men’s basketball program in a power 5 conference is going to mess up again. The ncaa will again drag their feet in punishment. They will again draft a new penalty structure. And, the cycle will continue in the same manner.
The major power 5 programs in men’s basketball will never be punished.
The ncaa men’s basketball and march madness is big business. There is no way Emmert et al will let anything happen to their business model.
My guess is the unc tarheel women’s basketball program will get hammered and the men’s basketball will be left untouched.
—————————————————–
Frank and Gib Arnold will forever be connected to UH basketball. After Frank Arnold left, I thought there is no way anyone will forget that name. Time heals all wounds. Then, Gib came along.
The ncaa can be blamed for a lot of things. But, when it comes to mess ups with coaching hires, buyouts and blunders, the blame falls squarely on the leaders at UH.
With all the mess ups at UH, you have to wonder, who is in charge at the school?
808:
well, UH not smart, should have just worked in harmony together, You ever hear of in house conflict resolution? they have that in every institution.. even have mediator. just work things out, not acrimonious. atmosphere. Then all this going back and Appealing NCAA post season ban. would never have happened. to much Agenda to get out Gib..
And Gib is now six figure salaried scout for NBA team,
got 500K for pocket money and 200K to cover ALL his legal fees..
plus. NCAA to write a chapter. on Compliance officer dysfunction. probably the key point that Gib legal team wanted in NCAA ruling. that UH was part of problem major. you living in dream world to buy the Spin from UH and Media.
sorry that it hurts the team.. UH admin/ compliance. / chancellor screwed up MBB , they are half to blame if not more. ..
CIT or CBI is possible I think. since pay to play for next season. ?
Uh is always messing up. In house fighting, power struggles, and big egos within the UH system are all factors in all the screw ups. The screw ups will continue. I don’t buy into anything UH media relations say.
UH wants more money for athletics? Why, so they can spend it on buyouts and attorney fees again?
Good luck to the men’s basketball program this season!
How can Amanda work in a place where the people hate her. If she would appear and be introduced at a Hawaii game she would be booed just like Neal A was. She will never do anything that will help UH athletics when she could be the bigger person and do her job with the second highest coach within the department before. If she was in the SEC she would be run out of the program not promoted.
Fire Paterson, Matlin, entire UH admin. Gib innocent as a newborn. UH should bring him back and Fire Ganot. Then everything would be PONO. Commenters are right on and reflect reasoned, thought out, logical arguments. Maybe Poorboy could be special consultant to UH so they could get their house in order. Now there is someone who is PONO. UH never knew how good they had it when they had the great and powerful Oz (I mean Gib) running things. Have a Happy New Year Pono et al and stay away from the punch. That would be PONO.
BMc: I think that UH should appeal. Sure it is going to cost money, what legal action doesn’t. I believe that UH has always been treated like the “ugly sister” by the NCAA and conferences it has been in. They consider us small so they can wield their power over us. Let’s show them we may be small but our intentions are big! We matter!
Go Bad News Bows!
BMc: I think UH should appeal. It will cost money, what legal action doesn’t. Is UH going to roll over every NCAA action? Like others have said the power conferences and teams challenge their NCAA allegations and get away with a slap on wrist penalty. UH has always been treated like the “ugly sister” by the NCAA and conferences. UH needs to turn this around and give it back to them. UH may be small compared to the power conferences but our vision should be Big.
Go Bad News Bows!
Definitely appeal to get the post season ban removed!
UH admin always harping about how they’re about the student-athletes being first.
Well, now’s the time to walk the talk & do it for the players who continue to play & represent UH. They deserve it & we all should expect nothing less.
Get rid of Amanda Paterson
just saying…Amanda had 2 choices…one rat on gib…which she did…or do nothing…
If u a compliance officer n have a pics of infractions…should do the honorable n rite thing… n proceed to inform THAT STUPID N INEPT AD…or turn into NCAA…
Remember same thing with Penn state…coach was informed …he followed the chain of command n got fired…the excuse…he should have done more…
Me just not know the chain of command with compliance dept there…
Just remember always…what you read is not always the truth..n surely not the whole truth…just put in the back of ur brain… there are 2 stories to every side…
And for those of you calling for Ms. Amanda’s head…ha ha ha…you cant talk with forked tongue…tat will surely be another law suit she will file against UH…for doing her “job” in informing the NCAA of the infraction…just keep giving them more kala…they will do you all good…in their spending….not on athletes… but on attorney’s fees…
I don’t think anyone is questioning the fact that Gib is responsible for what he did. It’s the fact that Paterson did not do a good job in handling the personal situation between them. Per the NCAA, her quote of not (doing a good job) keeping track of the MBB program or not wanting to lift a finger to help them is not very professional.
I also wonder why the AD and Chancellor were so quick to announce that they were not going to appeal. Is it because of the feedback that they are possibly changing their minds?
24. poorboy. .. no post-season, if you read the Infractions Decision which i quoted some of it in post No. 19.
” … the team ‘shall end it’s season with its last scheduled REGULAR season game and be banned from post-season competition during the 2016-17 academic year.’
So that means no post season tournaments including any play- for -pay ones and the Big West tournament too.
oops me make mistake…
maybe they should fire Ms. Amanda “without cause” he he he..
And until you get an explanation what it is exactly what she meant by “not helping them” we will never know what she meant…n have to be sure she said first… which is probably true…
Get rid, seriously, those ones Representing the highest institution of Common sense, justice, high character, working together, compliant, reliant.. not choking, really smoking some good stuff(pork butt.. 🙂 )….the ONES for the dang, darn, dingy, stupid, bakka,. arse butt, the reall LOSERS.. have made horrible decision. FB with chow hiring and late firing. bring in rookie coach.. okay save some money, and PEOPLE. .that money IS NOT COMING OUT OF ADMIN. paychecks, their personal pocket books, it is the State of Hawaii taxpayer, you to older ones, rich or poor. plus the kids of the parents sending them to UH Manoa.. those kids either have a little college fund that has matured, and they use it. and no debt when they graduate from Manoa…there are thousands who are on some grants. Manini type. and many the majority, the student loan , which my grand niece, she tells me for 10 years. she will be paying about $ 3000.00.. wow slaveitude for a Decade.. and my grand nephew paying $750.00 per month for 20 years. for finishing school in 5 1/2 years..So Hawaii people are paying a lot of monies into the budget of UH Manoa…do they have a say how Adminstration should be run..the
silent Majority, which would include some 95 % of all persons attending their for academics And Athletics
Been talking to my grandchildredn, they love the softball world series run, Wahine FB, the excellence flagship of UH athletics, FB. don’t like concussions that hurt young atheletes for their entire lives..however Men’s Basketball.
UH president, you don’t see him at Klum guy, or Paki Park, Kanawai field. Manoa Rec park.. running and winning games with Makule BB teams. first to 7.. and keep on running till you lose. Lassner IT geek…Bley Vroman, has to take his tounge/speech out of his arse.. just makes things worse.. Ben Jay,, and Bley Vroman’s clone of Ben Jay.. Dave Matlin..Matlin has mad a horrible decision
on promoting that Gal and Gal type person. too much Tita action from a gal not like beautiful Olivia Newton John, more like the outback.. gender same same. political party.. and to be fair UH has to use her. by law. which is okay, that is the law.. however have her under control. and she went off out of control, Admin doing their dang, darn job? first thing fire her from Compliance and move her to teaching Physcial Education class. Pilau person, Paterson. Pilau Person Paterson.A Tita from Australia, with backing from Lassner, BOR, JP, JW. Bley Vroman and Matlin , Ben Jay, just destroyed UH MBB for the next decade.
Appeal? yes APPEAL AMANDA’s A–s, get it out of here, more she sticks around as top Assistant AD.. more of the good fans. the ones who know all the shibai at UH upper campus and lower.. get Rid of Amanda Paterson.
or else.. UH you going to appeal , with Amanda being part of that post season ban. I would think , if Matlin or Ben Jay fired her, or suspended her and let ANOTHER outside fair, compliance officer be interim, sort things out. and help UH and Gib solve Manini differences.. NCAA investigation would have stopped at that altered document, not called into mainland compliance NCAA. keep those things in house. if that is what you are doing to keep MBB program going good.
Amanda, you ARE more of a Man or Woman than Matlin, /Jay /Lassner, or Bley Vroman put together. now do the honest thing and resign..
Do it Amanda, do it now.. before the sports teams knock down your door. just asking? Amanda why you screwed up Gib and his men basketball program,. when YOU KNEW if your worked, to mitigate any problems IN HOUSE> non of this crud would have come out?
she would tell us see my finger? I gif you the big one straight up. kidding aside, basically Amanda is laughing at us, and giving us the fingga.. horrible.
FIRE AMANDA> she an angel, did a great job named as major player to cause this post season ban and penalties/ sanctions to UH MBB. .. go home to Australia Amanda. .I go down the street, I look the other way.. you broke hears of Fotu, Brandyn Akana, the Arnold family, Nevels, Sammis Reyes.. a lot of MBB players and a few MBB former staff.. You are not that angelic.. at all.
RalphToo #14
Nobody is saying Gib did no wrong. The problem is if Amanda had problems with Gib the question has to be why didn’t she bring that up with the AD at the time? I’m led to believe either Amanda did not report the problem(s) with Gib/Staff/Team players or if she did she could have put the ONUS on the AD who was BenJay.
Somethings Fishy with all the promotion of Amanda, UH must have questioned her, BenJay, etc. about the problems and yet UH promoted her. Is Amanda or UH Admin. hiding something from the public?
It could be a Big story or maybe nothin if someone could look into this situation. UH doesn’t want to appeal could be saying something about not wanting to bring Amanda into the picture. IT SMELLS!
Woo hoo!!! Go get her Poorboy! Every sexist thought anyone could think of was just spewed by your diatribe (go look it up). JMHO but what smells is the vitriol directed towards this person and the most Gib, the one who admitted to Unethical Conduct, gets is “nobody is saying Gib did no wrong”. What a joke!!! You want to hate someone and make remarks try Gib Arnold and that self centered smirk he always is wearing. And if Poorboy has such knowledge about UH admin then step up, hotshot, and fix everything with that expertise.
I know it’s hard to take what the NCAA wrote in it’s finding and how some of the problems could have been avoided. Yikes! It’s just like Politics
BMc: Slightly off topic but I hope they never invite that Caires woman to sing the National Anthem and Hawaii Pono’i again. She did it earlier for the Volleyball and the VB blogs ate her up. I saw/heard it on TV and it is bad! Last night I saw/heard it live…same opinion. I think she embarrassed both songs, I think Francis Scott Key and Queen Lilioukalani are turning in their graves.
Appeal apeal appeal, why is it soo hard for Matlin to stand up for his student athletes, they deserve a fight to the end.
Seriously shaking my head at Matlin having to think this over.
They don’t really care about High Character…just character assassination. ..and dysfunction, ineptness, wasting taxpayers monies..
They are causing that missin 1800 to 2200 fans who are disgusted with dumb actions of admin. , Matlin..who should resign too.. and Mano Amanda..
Really sickened by UH..
such a turnoff for thousands od former supporters..
Yes, go ahead appeal..
NCAA already planned rebuttal, you know NCAA appeal committee is ready to knock UH around even more..unless UH retracts some things against Gib? I wonder?
YES….APPEAL.
The postseason ban is definitely arguable. Syracuse University got a one-year postseason ban (self-imposed last year) after inappropriate payments to basketball players, football players and assistant coaches over the course of several years. Athletes also received inappropriate academic assistance (basically allowed to cheat) and drug policies were not adhered to. SYRACUSE APPEALED and got their initial NCAA penalties REDUCED (scholarships were returned and money made from post season tournaments as well). Furthermore, the one-year basketball post season ban in 2015 was THE ONLY ban they got. They will suffer no bans in the future after all of this. These outcomes should help UH given that they have competent representation. The right thing to do is to fight.
NO Question appeal.. FOR those 3800 to 5200 that might go to BWC SSC home games…
Question is for the legal experts, whether UH General counsel who did not present case very well, So this ruling knocked UH admin even harder, though level I allegations were knocked down to Level II, and some Level II down to Level III. and some were just dismissed completely.. Then that atomic bomb. that NEXT season post season ban.. only me? or does it sound like IN ADDITION TO SINCE YOU, although strongly hinted at Removing Amanda Paterson from the Athletic Compliance department, if not get her OUT of Athletics altogether, maybe the next Wahine Soccer coach? UH.. you did not listen to us.. so, you did not do what we strongly suggested, and for PUBLIC RECORD she came out as demonized.. You Promoted HER… son of a gun.. for that , UH.. we NCAA COI enforcement, we are going to kick your okole and give you the , and this where it REALLY hurts, recruiting coaching, fanbase for years to come.. NEXT season after BWC regular season play , stay home.. nothing until the next year.. All for not listening to us and PROMOTING a person that was MAJOR part of the Problem
YOU can just see NCAA COI. with billions at their disposal. getting ready for UH appealing hearings, and just knocking them back on their arses again and ADDING more investigation. perhaps even having UH apologize to Gib, and give him his job back.. IF they want Post Season next year. Gib as interim, Ganot as Associate for One year. then they part ways, Gib not angel, though NCAA his counsel was excellent, so we saw that agenda against him,he fought , and even had to misinform, he took sever hits, however is wife and family are so great, we give him a shot FOR ONE YEAR nest. to lead the team to NCAA’s. deal handshake between UH and Gib/ Bickerton, and done deal..
That would be pono. then UH and Gib are friends again.. the Arnols come back to UH and Hawaii every Christmas time, spend 3 weeks in Kailua and cheer on the Warriors..
sound like a fable. well no less absurd thatn UH challenging the NCAA. who are ready to knock them into the stone age.. The are just waiting, I know it.. Locked and Loaded.. and bissssh.. there goes UH / AD and Paterson. ..finally gone..
Time for some to take their meds and step away from the keyboard. There must be some wild alternate universe out there cuz they have lost touch with reality. I guess if you throw Pono in there enough u can justify any wacky idea u have. One word sums it up…,,WOW!!!!!!
Poor decisions by awful leadership hurts good people.
Correct of Governor let UH to answer for their owm ineptness.
Betterment of student athletes..
Just look at past 8 years
Things have as a whole gotten worse,
Media and those buying spin…and administration not being pono..that is travesty
Just ask men basketball families…they don’t like it, the dysfunction, that affected their sons..
Inexcusable. .
If Gib had been a team player rather than a brash bully and the only coach who had an issue with the compliance office, UH would never be under NCAA sanctions. I do agree that Paterson should not have been promoted. Uhfanzonly1 over and out …
Unethical conduct by shady, cheating head coach hurts good people. Gib fans buying whatever comes out of his mouth or spin by his attorneys is a travesty. Players families can’t stand reading excuse after excuse from Gib apologists (that means people like Poorboy or Pono or whatevah name he using). Inexcusable and definitely not PONO. Btw, just saw news online that Poorboy has been selected as official spokesman for players’ families, friends, and people who barely know them. Straight scoop. Now Brian can just go to one source to get the REAL skinny.
you sound like Hillary who with her daughter was in serious danger with sniper fire in Bosnia. lol
You can’t even come to terms with the NCAA findings that it released. Guess you 2 are at opposite ends of the situation.
I am Cool with findings. I am not blaming everyone but Hib like many. I see no need to fire all at UH so I guess that puts me on other end from u and Poorboy
Well, I’m in no way saying we got enough info to Fire all @ UH. We have the NCAA info on UH’s Compliance office and there’s no need to wonder who ran it. lol
Gib did wrong but he ain’t the only one to pin it all on. That’s what we’re saying
Read Poorboy’s comments (like you tell people to read report) and tell me he doesn’t want to get rid of everyone. It all begins and ends with Gib. No problems there and nothing to look into or investigate. But that doesn’t fit your reality. Whatever. Over and done. There are just as many people that are glad Gib is gone. Funny how it all comes back to Gib the wonderful. Lol! You and Poorboy can follow his scouting now for the Celtics and root him on. Enjoy
lol, I don’t follow Pro Ball. Yeah, Gib is gone but there’s still Amanda who was part of the problem on UH’s payroll that also by the way got a promotion. The Ole Boys Network pays off yet again.
The ole boy network is the group that hired Gibber in the first place. Probably had one of their group write his contract. Have a Happy New Year and find a new windmill to tilt at.
On the appeal UH should ask ncaa if Amanda P. was also given her walking papers would they have been more lenient on the penalties given to UH? AND did it matter regarding having Gib be shown the door and Fotu being suspended.
What was the sense in letting Gib be fired without cause and Fotu being suspended based on the penalties levied. If they weren’t would UH have had 2 years of postseason band and 3 less scholarships to be given for the next 2 years.
Imagine the team’s line up this year: Fotu, Jankovic, Bobbit, Valdez, Chan, Flemming, Smith, Thomas. A better chance to have gone to the big dance this year.
Another blunder from those in charge. The what ifs are huge. The chancellor played is cards all wrong. A loser is his scheme of things.
A class action lawsuit citing racketeering and collusion against the NCAA would be more appropriate. They give The Mob a run for their money.
