Oh he's going to miss games but much more than 3.
Penny aint getting suspended...
He didn't do anything wrong as far as the NCAA is concerned.
Yeah he broke a bunch of TSAA rules...But he didn't break any NCAA rules when he paid Wiseman.
As much of a pain this is unless something changes within the NCAA - Booster - paid money to HS Player, that HS player can't go to school where booster is a booster. Level 1 violation.
The IARP path is only for complicated or serious cases - that alone tells you this is far more than the probability of getting a slap on the wrist or it would not have be have been accepted.
Lets hope w the NIL deals there is a lighter sentence coming. This is the first case coming out of the IARP process - hard for me to believe it will be light - the probability is too great for a simple slap on the wrist.
The IARP group is not the NCAA, its a different path w a entire different group of people who are outside the NCAA. They can accept the evidence obtained by the NCAA or/and do their own diligence.
Worth going to site to read up on who is on which panel and what their charter states.
Lady from UT on there btw - all from outside the NCAA - some sports arbitrators etc - those may help.
Oklahoma State for one Level 1 violation received 2 years probation, no NCAA and Conference tourney for one year plus about 6 or so other sanctions.
In hindsight, it was not a good idea to play Wiseman regardless of anyone's opinion on this - there will be a penalty to pay for this.
Let's hope the strung out process helps. Based on who I have spoken with, there is hope this will not be serious - you only "hope" when you expect the news to be bad.
New process - part of me wants this to be over with because it is being used against us and not for the NIL, this would have been a tough road. Other part is wanting to enjoy the season and get the news in April and deal with it then.
