timing seems a little suspect given its the middle of football season bball just about to start. Don't they usually do more an AD review at the end of the season?

He just hired the football dude and it was widely considered a good hire.

Seems like there is more to the story we may never know.

Looks very suspicious that the university GC is taking over as interim AD. Wonder if some books were being cooked or something?

Yeah, I noticed that he’s also the VC of institutional integrity. Seems like an interesting choice.

Of course, with how well their revenue sports have performed over the last few years, someone who knows literally nothing about sports could probably at least maintain status quo…

I have visited many opponent team message boards and have found that Yosef's Cabin is by far the easiest to navigate of them all.

ECU is the worse in my view. UNCC is OK now that I have visited a few times.

Can you get in trouble for cheating if you don’t benefit from it? Or do they have to vacate all their losses?
