PigskinPat 2,579 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 In this day and age, what in the heck are you doing to warrant an investigation? 😂 “The investigation has been underway since at least the summer. On June 9, the NCAA sent UF President Ben Sasse a notice of inquiry. That’s a formal document enforcement staff sends to schools alerting them of the investigation before interviewing any school employees or athletes.“ https://www.tampabay.com/sports/gators/2024/01/19/florida-gators-ncaa-investigation-recruiting-nil/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no fan of either of those and will never want them to win out of conference in anything, but don't have the strong feelings toward them like I do the other 3. Those 3 are just the absolute worst of the worst for me. Also, I live in Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AURex 2,019 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 The toothless NCAA plods along with investigations and allegations interminably with little substantive results. Michigan? Multiple serious violations. Penalties? Kansas basketball? Talk about a cesspool of violations over many years. Penalties? LSU? Multiple sports, multiple violations. How long did that crap drag on, and to what end? I'll probably die of old age before anything comes of this from NCAA. That said, just the NOI could give UF an out to get rid of Napier without a hefty buyout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(AP Photo/John Raoux)AP The Tampa Bay Times is reporting the NCAA is investigating the Florida Gators football program. The NCAA investigation involves the recruitment of quarterback Jaden Rashada, Brett McMurphy reports. Rashada signed with Florida but was released from his letter of intent and is at Arizona State. The investigation has been ongoing since the summer, perhaps longer. According to the report, on June 9, the NCAA sent Florida President Ben Sasse a notice of inquiry. It took nearly three months for The Tampa Bay Times’ request for the letter to be honored after, per The Times, the news outlets legal counsel got involved. “We have been and will continue to cooperate with the NCAA,” Gators spokesperson Steve McClain said, per The Times. “We hold ourselves to high standards of excellence and integrity on and off the field. Because we follow NCAA policies about maintaining confidentiality, we are unable to offer additional comments.” The NCAA hit the Gators with one year of probation in 2020 for recruiting violations under then-coach Dan Mullen.

In the FSU case it was a cash inducement which is still not allowable. If investigations start uncovering under the table cash and unreported income, the IRS can absolutely get involved. My reference to universities is pointed toward NCAA investigations and the bad publicity. Also the potential for lost revenue if the athletic programs are sanctioned.

I would venture they are jumping to a conclusion also as they specifically stated notices did not identify that specific case. They also didn’t use “sources” as identifying why they thought it was this case. They could have jumped to the correct conclusion though!!

TigerOne 1,148 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Because of nil every major program is in danger of investigation. The dude that entered the transfer portal from uat and transferred to Texas bought a new Ford Bronco his first day there.
