Chris Crawford, Adonis Thomas, Joe Jackson all denied being tutored by Greer, who said they were funneled to her by Eric "Cowboy" Robinson.

Well that isn't contradictory at all...

It's not going to even be an NCAA violation much less a cause for termination. "Coach, we are going to have to let you go. Your players worked too hard and got tutoring. We just can't have this around here."

(Never mind the fact that no one with any decision making ability wants to fire him.)

I mean you can have a tutor outside the program if you want. I understand the Ath.Department would want to know about it or rather you use one their tutors.

Of course, the NCAA would need indisputable evidence that the work was not done by the athlete. They would never, ever punish the university just because there were unsubstantiated rumors that the course work was done by someone other than the athlete.

That would be like the NCAA ruling a player inelgible because the university couldn't prove beyond doubt that a player actually took his SATs.

It's not like they would vacate a team's full season just because they suspected so.

I still say it has to be some real proof that she did the work for all these players, which would seem to be hard to do.

You're absolutely..... Oh. Uh oh.

I wonder what hoops you jump through to get ath dept consent for tutoring. I gotta think barbecues just have a bad name...surely you can have a barbecue without consent.

Touché

Pearl got a show clause for a BBQ!

Maybe Pastner gets a show clause and we can term his a$$!!!

The good news is that now Pastner doesn't get any credit for the program's academic performance.

You don't have a clean coach any longer. You have a dirty coach that sucks at coaching. Yet you still persist.

That is exactly how I read it. Someone wants him out so badly, that they concocted this.
Never mind that he could very well be out after next season anyway.

According to Cohen's tweets.

I believe that wholeheartedly.

That's what he said about NCAA problems when he was hired

The Rose thing happened before Josh was hired...so that could very well be true.
John may not have told Josh why they were packing so quickly to go to Kentucky.

moreover, this person has felonies, and we're just going to believe her at her word?
