Every time it gets worse for Arizona they bury themselves deeper in the strategy of holding out until the attention takes a day or so to move on elsewhere. It’s a purely political strategy, the same default political strategy Virginia’s governor uses to stay governor in light of his yearbook, Penn State got their bowl ban lifted early because of it, and Smollett and Weinstein are hoping to get back into screen work once the public moves on. But holding out doesn’t always work - Baltimore’s mayor finally had to resign today.

I get it as it relates to the public...

But the NCAA has to get involved at some point, right? I mean this is too much smoke for them to not even send a few firemen to investigate.

If it’s a matter of Sean Miller’s employment, if he isn’t yet fired in the face of an FBI investigation, do you think the NCAA shadowing in will add anything to change the University of Arizona’s mind?

Statement released by the University of Arizona yesterday:

The University of Arizona is correcting recent inaccurate media reports. Any reports stating that the NCAA has either “started” or “launched” a new investigation at the University of Arizona are entirely false. To be clear, we will continue to cooperate fully with any NCAA proceedings in the best interest of the University and the men’s basketball program.”

Arizona is in so deep at this point, there's nothing to gain by firing him.  Just have to hope for a hail Mary to clear him.  Firing him now is the same as firing him in three months.

honestly, this is starting to feel like they'll just come out and say, "my bad, we f-ed up, gonna do better now, everyone is off the hook this time"
or "unc, duke, zona, l'ville, kansas, etc. what you did is a disgrace, a travesty to american values and integrity, and you must suffer the consequences... therefore, ganzaga football will be on 8 year post season ban and 85 scholarship reduction for 5 years. "

https://sports.yahoo.com/sources-kansas-basketball-charged-with-multiple-level-1-violations-including-lack-of-institutional-control-210015300.html

I’m reading through the actual Notice paperwork issued by the NCAA. It’s basically a charge sheet that lays out accusations without going into evidence. Bill Self’s name is all over it.

Well, they nailed Georgia Tech, so...case closed.

I'm sure Josh Pastner who played and coached at Arizona, then coached at Memphis, was on the up and up until arriving at...checks notes...Georgia Tech?
