Thanks for the help.

He had enough credits to graduate and has a high enough SAT/ACT score to qualify for the NCAA, so he graduated a year early. It's not all that different from the football players that enroll in January.

There goes any hope for conference championship in the next few years. Stansbury and Kiffin are screwing the competition in this conference.

I know. Meanwhile, they are recruiting circles around the league and it just sounds like sour grapes since there hasn't been so much as a peep about any investigations.

You are going off the assumption that teams in CUSA (including us) cant beat them because of their recruiting. He still has to win.

So then .... how did WKU do against ODU last season? Who eliminated ODU from their only shot at getting to the NCAA Tournament (via winning the Conference Tournament)? Seems like they already have that covered as far as ODU is concerned.

It's not really an assumption when we go 0-3 against them last year, each more embarrassing than the last. I should be questioning why do you assume we can beat them?

By that logic, Marshall cant beat us and they were in the tourney.

In reality, you are talking about a small number of games. If we played Marshall 100 times, how often would we beat them? (Same woth wKY).

I'm not concerned with Marshall. I am convinced if we had Marshall in our side of the bracket, we would have won one more game. But I'm concerned with the team that just landed a 5 star recruit.

I was wondering if you would bring sample size into this. What am I supposed to say? Do you want me to tell you that we would lose 70 out of 100 games to WKU last year? There's nothing backing that up. But there's also nothing backing up the fact that Stansbury wouldn't outcoach JJ again either. There's no evidence to say that they won't sweep us again next season with a better team, while we will be worse. I don't think it's that big of a stretch to make that case though.

What would you suggest they do? Cheat? Admit anyone? Broderick has already said he wants to win, but to do it cleanly across the board. I'm not as bothered by what ODU will do as what the other CUSA coaches and admins have not done. They'll tell you Stansbury isn't clean, but have they as a collective group turned them into the NCAA? My guess is no.
And before anyone goes off on the JJ can't do it tangent, many many of us have stated this is the last season for him and staff to get us to the dance. We're not settling for mediocrity.
