Curious if Bridges will be sat for the B1G tourney.  Man would that work in our benefit big time if we beat Michigan first.  

 
I doubt they do anything until after the tournament. This happened with the Cam Newton scandal the whole entire season when he played. 

  1. Make harsh penalties/bans for these schools. No more slap on the wrists 
  2. Get rid of the AAU and 7-on-7 culture. Just makes it much easier and pressing for schools to cheat. I hate how those teams outweigh their own high school teams anymore 




 
Looks like some of the cases are pretty minor and are just a meal but some pretty serious trouble for some with the money payments. It will be interesting to see what happens and how severe some punishments are.

Wow.  Arizona AD was a hot mess.  I guess with Rich Rod chasing tail its hard to read the contracts of your other major athletic program.

Would not surprise me to see Steve Kerr, offered the job, after the NBA season is done. This is the UofA flagship program. 

With the new football coach hire, it may start to turn more towards football, down here.

GBR!!!
