UConn admits to major NCAA violations (Hoops)

[Hardwood_fanatic]

In a report released Friday, the school acknowledges its basketball staff made impermissible telephone calls and text messages as cited by the NCAA in a May report that followed a 15-month investigation. It also admits it improperly provided free game tickets to high school coaches and others.

Although we knew they were guilty and something was coming, you still have to wonder if it might be bad timing for UT as well. Multiple schools with violations, trying to "persuade" the NCAA into accepting their self imposed violations. The AA' in all their glory might decide to put their foot down on both schools to show uniformity.

I'm interested to see what happens over the next couple of months.

To me, UConn's violations were much greater than the ones stated by UT. It will be interesting to see how the two situations play out.
