He tweeted 5 times in less than an hour pretty much saying the same thing over and over again about something needing to be done. Check out the tweets below.

GIVE THAT COCK GOBBLER HELL!
Someone needs to remind Dick that in todays twitterverse Old White guys are falling like dominoes...
All it takes is a picture in a yearbook of blackface or a former employee/acquaintance saying sexual harassment...
That he who is without sin is the only person allowed to be throwing stones...
And a twitter army of people looking under every rock will surely find a sin that Dick has committed.
I figured Dukie V would be busy asking for Kevin Cash to be fired. His precious TB Rays haven't made the playoffs since 2013...
Focus on a team that CARES whether you watch them or not. Can't remember the last time he contributed to anything "basketball related" that doesn't involve Coach K.
ESPN has won.. as they always do. The masters of sports perception. We are the face of the FBI and NCAA investigation now. The NCAA will lay down its most severe punishment on us. The Dawkins trial coverage will focus on us. The hundreds of basketball and football programs that have committed the same violations will walk free, or with very little consequence. We are the example to be made and the lamb to be sacrificed so that the blue blood's cash flow will not be disturbed.
How do you guys not see that Vitale is correct? We do deserve better - Phelps actions were B.S. and especially considering that we were already in hot water...
He may be inconsistent with Pitino and he was wrong to jump on the Schlabach thing, but this is spot on. How much more horse hockey will we tolerate from the BB program?
They screwed up alright. They violated rules. Here comes the HUGE but... literally every other power 5 school, in both football and basketball, commits the same violations. I promise you. I want equality and we are not getting that. Miller likely should be fired, as should Self, Williams, Krzyzewski, Calipari, Keatts, Smart and many many more. You think they land the same recruits we go after without shoveling through the same pile of leeches we do? Without dealing with the same people? We are being positioned as the only one to fall and that is my main problem. My second problem is that the NCAA has had more than a decade to clean up the filth that is AAU, recruiting and change the rules surrounding paying players. Instead of fixing their systemic flaws, they will just dull out some punishment and go on pretending that college sports aren't extremely corrupt.
Dukie V is trying to scrape together any ounce of dignity after publicly bashing the Ayton situation and realizing that it was all a hoax.
The guy jumps on any negative tweet and/or article so he can try to rip Arizona fans that called him out in the first place.
He's acting like a child on a public forum. It's hilariius and should be a.m. straddling that he can't act like a professional and admit that the original story was BS.
Nice!

Why is there no mention from Dukie V regarding Shareef's eligibility at UCLA? Because he doesn't have a personal vendetta against anybody in Westwood.
Dickie V can't help but talk about Arizona. Here's his latest tweet.
https://twitter.com/DickieV/status/1094476034228060160
I don't know how I missed this, but Dickie V is at it again with his hate on Miller. Someone needs to delete his twitter account.
https://twitter.com/DickieV/status/1121156386329628672
DickieV Sucks a big one...Duke's big one!
I like this one better - what Sean Miller has been able to do the last two years during this mess has been amazing, even Dukie V can't deny it.

Faint praise, Ichi?! Thank you, I need anything I can get!
And, I don't truly hate Sean Miller, I hate what he has done to the program - one scandal on top of another for stupid, petty, ridiculous things. Not understanding the character of your top assistant. I also do not like his coaching or his past season performance (or lack thereof). Those are reasonable and supportable positions and they stem from my LOVE of Arizona basketball and what it used to represent.
I suspect Dickie V is also disappointed and that is driving his narrative towards AZ. But his blind spot for al things Duke, Pitino and Notre Dame is just an absurdity. Never question that he does love the game though. At the end of the day, a flawed character to be sure but a truly unique, rare and great basketball person.
The narrative is that Dukie V is a "professional" broadcaster that is expected to hold back biases when calling games and discussing the sport that he supposedly loves.
He evolved from a fan of the game and energetic voice of basketball...into the face of Dook and whiny old incoherent tweeter.

Let him continue to build up Miller's case for libel and/or slander.
ESPN is ignorant enough to allow their employees to attack specific programs that are merely "brought up", while schools such as Kansas and Louisville have been caught red handed
This tweet is Absolutely UNBELIEVABLE on as many levels.
https://twitter.com/DickieV/status/1123725296669216768
Hilarious that a "professional journalist" doesn't know the difference between "loose and lose"...or "it's and its".
He took a vendetta against a human being because he decided to attack him via social media...and became pissed when the fanbase pointed out that he's choosing his enemies.

Wow...someone is extremely judgemental considering they said this and were all up on CSM's junk before any of this came about.
He and Bilas seem to be moving "backwards" in their tweets. Wonder if the lack of current evidence is hurting their love for Schlabach...

DO SOME ****ing RESEARCH BEFORE YOU POST AT A NATIONAL LEVEL (or at all).
Book never gave the money to players. Therefore, he never bought players.
Where's the part about selling women to underage recruits? Oh wait...there was no knowledge from the head coach at Louisville. Hmm...sounds a lot like Arizona...only humans weren't harmed at our campus.
Dickie V is one of the biggest hypocritical liars of all times in the sporting world.
Please stop replying to him!!!!! Look at his tweets and he is lucky to get five replies to any other topic and when he makes comments about the Cats and Miller it's in the hundreds. That's what he wants and need to continue as a social media influence. I repeat just stop acknowledging him! Please!

I think I figured out why he's so hell bent on making this all about us - it's the shoes baby! I didn't realize he was an adidas spokesman back in the day. Not sure if he still is or what his relationship with them is but he sure loved his custom adidas sneakers in 2014. It could help explain why he never mentions Kansas or Louisville and why they broke the wiretap story the day yahoo dropped accusations against a ton of other schools.

First thing you have to know about Dicky Vee is that he never turns down an audience or a paycheck, on account of his belief that the Big Ride could end tomorrow. For the same reason, this year he will do 50 college basketball games for ESPN and 15 for ABC, 30 or so speaking gigs, half a dozen appearances for Adidas, at least 30 interviews a week, promos for his three books and his computer game, a once-a-week Indianapolis radio show and daily one-minute national radio spots.

Dick Vitale is no Bueno!
Nah. Ever since Jimmy V passed, Coach K has been Dukie V's best buddy. Dook is a Nike school, so I'm not all-in on the anti-Nike movement.
I think he made a serious mistake when he backed Schlabach's BS story. When the Wildcat fans called him out for supporting a blatant lie, he became defensive & STILL won't admit that his hypocritical thought process is absurdly incorrect.
Soon enough, Book won't go to jail, Miller will win a championship, Coach K will get hit with the Zion evidence & the "real" media outlets will focus on the malicious ESPN reporting. That isn't just a dream...I think the day will be here by the end of the 2019-20 season!
I don't know, he's had a relationship with the company since 1994 and still posts adidas shoes on his social media sites. I haven't seen him endorse any other shoe. It could be he's just a senile crazy bastard but I think it's deliberate that you can't find him saying one bad thing about Kansas or Louisville when what they've done is far worse than Book taking some money for himself. I think he's been using us this whole time to take attention away from those other adidas schools but maybe I'm wrong.
Back in 1994 Adidas helped boost Vitale's image and has paid him who knows how much money - this is from the SI article.
Out of the whole giant pool of slam-dunking millionaires in the nation, the shoe company picked Vitale to be its main endorser. He now stars in Adidas's "Adventures in Dickland" series. "We think Dick is the most recognizable personality in the game," says Adidas executive Sonny Vaccaro. "And I'm including coaches."
Also Adventures in Dickland is a perfect name for a Vitale series.
I forgot to post this yesterday. Dickie V posts about Arizona at least 3 times a week.
https://twitter.com/DickieV/status/1136730742107586567
That tweet has 16 likes and 63 people telling him he's an idiot. Keep it up Dick, no one believes your bs (well except maybe one poster here).
I like how the "legal experts expect heavy sanctions".
Are these the same experts that anticipated a multi-year sentencing for Book?
Dukie V is hanging on to his last thread of hope.

What a hypocrite.
Dickie V is right. Cut it any way you want.
One guy is in prison. One guy got fired. Two more should have been. AZ has still not received punishment for multiple NCAA violations.
Miller is completely dirty, we are a totally dirty, disgraced program, and the FBI and NCAA are, apparently too incompetent to do anything about it.
Facts are on Dickie V's side. Deal with it.

I am not here to argue with you, but you should think before you speak. We all want to think we are speaking the truth when we open our traps, but there are NO facts beyond what Arizona and the ABOR already has and they stand behind and with CSM. That is enough for me until something else happens and Dickie V can eat crap for his attacks on CSM. The only reason Book got time is because of his recorded conversations, not the money he took. He took less than most but got time because of his reckless rambling on recorded messages. No players were proven to be paid or CSM would have been fired as well. Level 3 offenses is what you have. Not that it is good, but that is more in line e with the facts than anything Dickie V or you have stated.

Name a single program cleaner than Arizona. And not one you believe is clean, one you know for an absolute fact, is clean.
You know nothing Liquid. AZ is no dirtier than Utah or Belmont. It is time to grow up, college sports has been "dirty" for 50 years. 50. Do you know who Sam Gilbert is?
Dickie's ego is so fragile. I'm not sure if anyone's listened his interview with some LSU radio guys but holyshit the word Zion came out and the man lost his fucking mind. One thing to believe SM should be fired for what has transpired to his program that's fine. But then to go and back Rick Pitino because Pitino told him he didn't know what his assistants were doing (lmao) ridiculous. Maybe its that simple and Miller should just give Dickie a call.

Good thing you only speak for yourself. Sean Miller has a lot of courage to go on record in front of the world and make his statement then get essentially the top recruit class right after. We can only hope he is our coach for the next 25 years. He's young enough. A true blue blood will try to lure him away at some point (maybe UNC?).
I wouldn't be upset with Dukie v's posts if he clearly didn't have a bias against Miller.
His only rants about Pitino and Self are in THEIR defense. And he has no intentions of mentioning the smaller schools that have already been punished for being caught red handed.
The guy should be able to speak coherently. As a "professional journalist", he has no grasp of the English language OR how to address the public.
What a worthless gimmick of a man...which hurts to say because I love the efforts he put forth towards cancer research.
I miss the days when Diaper Dandy wasn't a description of Vitale's morning bowel movement.

Self reported plane tickets. Testing positive for PED's. Book on tape saying Miller was paying players. The entire Pitts debacle. Self reported academic fraud.

Please just stop. Are you related to Dickie V? You are clearly no Wildcat fan so quit with the charade. It has gotten old man. You are incapable of saying anything true. Let's look at your lies just now you lying sack of shit:
-plane tix were on Phelps
-Ped's was during off season and the result of a car accident
-Book is not on tape saying Miller paid players.
-Miller handled the Pitts situation absolutely perfectly, I have WAAAAY more inside info on this particular one. Dont argue with me boy.
-Miller didn't disappear from Oregon. He didnt want to be a distraction and I'm sure some in the Athletic department preferred it that way.
Literally point for point you just lie and twist everything to fit your tired narrative. It's a cowardly thing to do. Absolutely spineless, but I'm sure you come by it honestly. I'm going to assume your father and his father before him were all spineless pieces of trash just like you.
Please fuck off.
Great Post PB...In my honest opinion I don't think Liquidated should still be allowed on this fan site. I think Dickie V's fan site or A$$U's site would be the best place for him. I'm fed up with his BS. If it was up to me...he wouldn't be seen on this site again.
You're going to start with this shit again?

self reported plane tickets - self reported, responsible individual removed from the program, isolated incident, minor incident
PED's - accidental, NCAA cleared to play after responsible actions by CSM to not let him play until cleared
Book is not on tape saying Miller paid, Book has explicitly denied saying this, you have no proof
Pitts, treated fairly and discreetly, no charges filed, CSM resisted the call from your ilk to shit on Pitts because of the girl's relationship with big alum
Academic fraud? not on the level of UNC institutional fraud found to be not an issue by the NCAA, self reported responsibly
the most outrageous point is that you seem to be calling for Miller to be fired because he missed a game? he missed the game to avoid being a distraction and to have time to prepare to defend himself against accusations that have proven to be unfounded, yet at the time were considered bombshells

normally I'm against booting someone from a fan site because I believe that anything someone writes, regardless of how ridiculous or unhinged it may be, is food for thought, the community usually reacts by posting their responses and everyone learns and collectively we are smarter, more intelligent for having used our minds to resist idiocy, but you continue to post hateful, inaccurate information despite having been proven wrong time and again. you offer nothing to this site and I would miss some of your stats posts and other insight, but at this point you need to leave.

one of many..it shows a pattern. Isn't every incident isolated?
QuotePED's - accidental, NCAA cleared to play after responsible actions by CSM to not let him play until cleared
Everything is accidental, misunderestimated and due to media attacks and our victimhood. TESTED POSITIVE.
QuoteBook is not on tape saying Miller paid, Book has explicitly denied saying this, you have no proof
Read the damn FBI transcript, entered into evidence in Books trial. "you have no proof"...I guess you are correct,
I don't have possession the actual tapes. But the FBI does and the transcripts were part of the trial.
Charges WERE filed (in house with the title IX University kangaroo court) and Pitts pleaded responsible for sexual misconduct. A PROMINENT and highly active alumni, who has done nothing but be great Wildcat, had to go to the newspapers to defend the honor of his children when the coach at his alma matter ran roughshod over the AD's office, which should have known better. We lost three athletes and the support Mason, when we only need to lose 1, the GUILTY one.
CSM resisted the call from your ilk (the people with morals and ethics, you mean? Yes, CSM is resistant to all sorts of ethical behaviors) to shit on Pitts (who is a piece of shit) because of the girl's relationship with big alum (one of the most prominent and supportive alumni of the past 50 years and it was his daughter who was also a scholarship athlete). You know that Lute's first final four team rallies around Mason, right? He was the heart and soul of that team, despite being a gumby.
QuoteAcademic fraud? not on the level of UNC
Ok, well then that is perfectly alright...
Quoteinstitutional fraud found to be not an issue by the NCAA, self reported responsibly
The NCAA is not done at AZ yet.
Quotethe most outrageous point is that you seem to be calling for Miller to be fired because he missed a game?
I'd fire him for breathing at this point. But the point was that his behavior was not that of innocent man.
Quotehe missed the game to avoid being a distraction
Because he is so noble...oh I get it now...
Quoteand to have time to prepare to defend himself against accusations
He actually stated publicly he thought he would be fired in that moment. He was not defending himself, he was covering his ass, He was getting ready to clean out his office.
Quotethat have proven to be unfounded
,
Just because the FBI/US Attorney's office choose not to prosecute does not mean it was unfounded.
Quoteyet at the time were considered bombshells
Just abut every single national pundit still considers them bombshells.
Quoteyour vile attempts to smear Miller show the depth of your obsession and the quality of your character
Miller smeared himself. And yhank you, yes, I desire an ethical head coach and am obsessed about having a clean and respected program - which Sean Miller will not ever have in the rest of his entire career, no matter where he goes or who he recruits.
Quotecollectively we are smarter, more intelligent for having used our minds to resist idiocy,
The correct term is groupthink. You are all stroking each other and celebrating that Miller has somehow escaped, acknowledging that violations have occurred but everyone else is responsible and Miller somehow was completely blameless. Truly intelligent, objective and independent thinking people would never arrive that conclusion.
Quotebut you continue to post hateful, inaccurate information despite having been proven wrong time and again.
Facts are ugly things. Not single thing I wrote was inaccurate. Just because you say Miller is innocent does not mean he is and that is not 'proving me wrong'.

Book is not on tape saying Miller paid, Book has explicitly denied saying this, you have no proof
Pitts, treated fairly and discreetly, no charges filed, CSM resisted the call from your ilk to shit on Pitts because of the girl's relationship with big alum
Academic fraud? not on the level of UNC institutional fraud found to be not an issue by the NCAA, self reported responsibly
the most outrageous point is that you seem to be calling for Miller to be fired because he missed a game? he missed the game to avoid being a distraction and to have time to prepare to defend himself against accusations that have proven to be unfounded, yet at the time were considered bombshells
your vile attempts to smear Miller show the depth of your obsession and the quality of your character
normally I'm against booting someone from a fan site because I believe that anything someone writes, regardless of how ridiculous or unhinged it may be, is food for thought, the community usually reacts by posting their responses and everyone learns and collectively we are smarter, more intelligent for having used our minds to resist idiocy, but you continue to post hateful, inaccurate information despite having been proven wrong time and again. you offer nothing to this site and I would miss some of your stats posts and other insight, but at this point you need to leave.
. . . and the choir rains down a thunderous, "Amen."
I agree 110% Liquidated does not have anything positive to say about our coach or program. His attempts at humor are pathetic and he adds no value to this site.
I think a permanent ban should be in order. I know prior to his joining this site was a lot more enjoyable and I would look forward to posting. Now with all the threads getting Liquidated it's getting so tiring.
Let's look at a single example of how you twist the truth
QuoteNot single thing I wrote was inaccurate
QuoteBook on tape saying Miller was paying players
QuoteRead the damn FBI transcript, entered into evidence in Books trial
QuoteBut the FBI does and the transcripts were part of the trial.
You know the the transcript is hearsay evidence, its a tape of a defendant claiming that Book told him that, there is no tape of Book saying that Miller was paying players. Book has confirmed that since his trial. You know this yet you continue to post that Book is on tape. You use half-truth, innuendo, a variety of ad hominem attacks, and every other gaslight trick to insult everyone's intelligence
What you wrote is inaccurate, objectively, its not because anyone drank some KoolAid its because you are wrong, Book is not on tape, a guy said that Book said that.
Poor Diquidated. I feel sorry for someone who would rather be verbally battered by actual Wildcat fans, than live a reality based life with friends and family--assuming one or both are available. For my part, I couldn't imagine being in such desperate need of attention. Then again, maybe it's Mrs. Diquidated that needs my sympathy? Either way--get a life, Dude.

I don't know how much stock you put on Book's statements from Twitter saying the opposite, but Book was actually on tape basically saying SM was paying 10k a month.

Please boot liquidated. Not even blocking him protects me from exposure to his bs.
Yes a ban onLiquid is long overdue! Like others on PPU I have grown tired of his negativity. He does not even post in the live chat or has donated to the site. Also look at his karma, that speaks about his postings.
Back to this thread Dicky V might be Liquid, they share the hate for our beloved program.
We've issued a final warning to liquid to tone things down and stop hijacking posts. We have the best collection of Arizona fans and want to keep PPU a positive place for everyone to gather to talk about their favorite team.
Thanks Wild! I don't like to bag on anybody, but dude is such a negative person! When I replied about his post or poor attempt at a joke from children's tread my karma went down a point. Looks like he is slapping some members as well.

I'm guessing Diquid has spanked me at least a half-dozen times--I consider the setbacks a badge of courage. On a higher note: I long for the day this guy is history.
Yeah im sure almost all of my karma's are narrowed down to basically 2 people here lol
Dare I step in here and say something positive about Liquid? I get tired of his rants, too. But he does bring a perspective (at times) that needs to be said out loud.
IMHO he can stop with the CSM is a crook sh*t because that case is closed until the NCAA proves otherwise. And Liquid does sound like Dookie V at times but so what. We can all have our opinions whether we all agree or not. I like hearing both sides of a debate. As long as there are no personal attacks.
I can understand Liquid's gripes about not fitting the team's strengths and athleticism to a new style of offensive play. CSM does appear to be trying to put a round peg in a square hole with some players. Maybe this year will be different, a more wide open style with an emphasis on guard play. And the pack line defensive needs to be mixed in with some full court pressure/zone/doubling to keep the opponent's offense guessing.
From the first day CSM stepped on campus and I met him at a booster rally, I knew the UA basketball program was in good hands. CSM is a good guy and will prove to be a great coach.
So I say: lay off Liquid. Let him rant. If you don't like what he says, don't read it. I enjoy his perspective.
Damn, conundrumz. I miss hearing from you (among other former PGU members).
Liq has a twisted point of view, but it generates lively conversations that occasionally have purpose. :)
As long as he isn't repeating the same bogus argument regarding PED's, unproven rape accusations and reimbursable $200 plane tickets...most conversations are basketball related.
I've met Miller on multiple occasions and he loves basketball more than anybody in the business. Unless he has been proven to be a bad person (ala Pitino), I'm proud to have him as our coach.
Thanks for that part Wild. How about having him get rid of that "How's this guy still have his job" crap at the bottom of all his posts. That's just as incendiary as all of his posts. The last time you gave him the warning he slowed down...for a week or so. I hope this one works. I have no confidence it will however. Thanks for trying to end this BS though. It used to be easy to come here and leave feeling better and ending up having a good day. Not so much any more thanks to his nonsense.
Thank you Wild and Moderators for doing this. You are doing the right thing by fans for fans only! Keeping our forum clean and respectful for the program we all love.
Bear Down guys !
I welcome diversity of opinion, but Liquid's comment are trolling clear and simple. I doubt he believes half the crap he posts. He's all about pushing others' buttons. Blocking him until the inevitable ban comes, then the task is on to identify his new anonymous user I'd. Sure it wont be hard.
Here we go again. Dickie V is obsessed with Sean Miller. WOW

A few days ago Vitale mentions ASU and their coaching staff. It's pretty obvious that he's trying damage the UofA, increasing the possibility of ASU being a better program under Hurley. He loves Hurley. As for Duke and it's issues- it's plain and simply don't bite the feeds you. (ESPN/Vitale)
Lol

Yep.
What we know right now makes the incident a level 3 violation with Book. Now the issue with the flight could be an issue, but it was a self reported situation, and there were reasons it was done.
The issue with O' Neal is a none factor or should be.
Phelps and Pinder both served one game suspensions for the plane ticket (that was later reimbursed by Keanu's family). That won't play a role in Arizona's fate.
There's a chance that Phelps' online classroom assistance for Shareef O'Neal is mentioned...however there's no way Arizona gets punished for that situation, unless the NCAA finds that UCLA was guilty of the same while Reef was enrolled in LA.
Lack of institutional control for Book's actions are the only considerations at the moment...unless the NCAA found recruiting violations that haven't been revealed publicly. Doubtful, so I assume we get a couple years of probation & everybody moves on. Yawn...
We will get hit boys but the NCAA having none of the feds evidence will definitely limit the pain. I think we get by with no post-season ban which is all I really cared about. Probably lose schollies, recruiting hours for Miller, and 2-3 years of probation.
Dick Vitale needs to retire already, there are 20 coaches he could focus on but is obsessed with miller. Maybe it is just pettiness now since he caught so much shit for it.
Level 3 offense!
Doubt we get that much.
what does "probation" mean in terms of college sports (or just basketball). Just would like some clarity thanks
Quote from: WiscoAZfan19 on September 04, 2019, 07:46:55 AM
what does "probation" mean in terms of college sports (or just basketball). Just would like some clarity thanks
I stole this from an article about Syracuse:
In short, Syracuse will have to regularly report to the NCAA during the five-year probation period to ensure that the university is following NCAA rules. There are specific facets of probation that are detailed in the NCAA's full report and they paraphrased, from pages 67–69 in the report, below.
1. Educating coaches, staff
During the five-year probation period, Syracuse has to "develop and implement a comprehensive educational program" that will teach coaches, faculty athletic representatives, all athletic department personnel and all university staff responsible for the certification of student-athletes, the finer points of the NCAA's eligibility rules for admission, financial aid, practices and games.
The NCAA is requiring Syracuse to submit a preliminary report to the NCAA Office of the Committees on Infractions by May 1, 2015, to detail how the university plans to implement this educational program in relation to the released violations. Furthermore, Syracuse is required to submit compliance reports that detail the progress of this education program to the committee by Nov. 1 in each year of the probation period.
As for what these compliance reports should contain, the NCAA specified: "Particular emphasis should be placed on policies and procedures relating to student-athlete academic support and student-athletes' interactions with community organizations. Additional emphasis should be placed on the institution's monitoring efforts. The reports must also include documentation of the institution's compliance with the penalties adopted and prescribed by the committee."
2. Educating student-athletes
The NCAA is also requiring SU to explain to prospective athletes that the university will be on probation for five years. The report details that information regarding the NCAA violations and punishments needs to be sent to a student-athlete prior to an official paid visit to campus, and before a student-athlete signs a letter of intent to attend Syracuse.
3. Publicizing infractions
Moving forward, probation requires Syracuse to release a statement that details the violations and the programs affected within the athletic department. It also requires SU to have a direct link to the public infractions decision released by the NCAA to appear on the athletic department's website, which is Cuse.com.
Probation also requires Syracuse to include all of this information in its media guides and alumni publications. The NCAA states in the report that the university's statements should include clear descriptions of the infractions, the length of the probationary period connected to the infractions and give the public a general a "clear indication" of what happened in the case "to allow the public to make informed, knowledgeable opinions." The NCAA reiterates that that last clause is especially important for prospective student-athletes and their families.
4. In five years...
When the probationary period is over, Syracuse's chancellor — whether that be Kent Syverud or anyone else — needs to send a letter to the NCAA that the institution's current athletic "policies and practices conform to all requirements of NCAA regulations."
5. Violation of probation
The NCAA closes the section of probation by advising Syracuse to closely follow all of the requirements of the five-year probationary period. It says that it will closely follow the university during this time, and that violations of probation — or any additional violations — could result in the extension of the probationary period or additional, "more severe penalties."
Nice example
What level offenses were Syracuse deemed to have done? And just as important is the length of time it occured.
Failure to monitor for long periods dictates higher level offenses. In Arizona's case they fired Book right away. I know we all hate knee jerk reactions. Let's also remember that Arizona did an internal investigation as well as hiring an outside group to do a separate investigation. If there were anything there CSM would be gone.
Hey PB, when I reread your original statement with sarcasm in mind, I could see your point. Unfortunately at first read I would agree with other posters that your assumption is wacko. That's an ongoing problem with print media ie: Twitter, Facebook etc. No opportunity for the reader to hear sarcasm as in a verbal statement.
We all want to know what will come of this, but the NCAA and media presences like ESPN, Vitale, and Shalalala are getting the laughs that our school and its fanbase have been living with their head's hijacked. Worried at ever turn. It's getting to be a psychological mind game at this point. Don't let these people win. Don't let them take your headspace.
Beardown!
What really happened is (read:time for some good ol' conspiracy theory so strap on your tin hats boys)
Yahoo came out with a well researched and sourced story complete with evidence, pictures, names, dates, amounts, ledgers, and pretty much everything else needed to completely implicate a bunch of high profile schools. Mainly Adidas schools. However, not one time in that Yahoo report or anywhere on the ledgers or pics was Zona mentioned. Nowhere.
Less than 24 hours later, ESPN and Mark Schlabach release their hit job story which was singularly sourced. My guess is it was Christian Dawkins who told Schlabach that Miller was ON TAPE discussing 100k payment for Ayton to go to Zona. The tape as we know now, DOES NOT EXIST. However the damage was done and Miller/Zona/Ayton became the big story with ESPN brass desperate to prove they were still a legit news organization they let Schlabach run with a sketchy uncorroborated story.
As to why Dawkins did that, maybe Book was the leak for the Yahoo story which is why he made sure Zona was never implicated and Dawkins wanted revenge. Either way, Schlabach got played. ESPN and Dick Vitale have painted themselves in a corner and now cannot admit they fugged up big time or risk being sued for libel. Not that Zona or Miller want to sit for a deposition so they would never sue anyway.
ESPN can eat a Dick.

All True, except for one small thing.
The tape DOES EXIST. It's transcript was used in Dawkins trial - so unless you are suggesting that federal investigators and the attorney generals office are forging evidence, then the premise of your entire argument is false. If they are just making stuff up, then we (the country, our society and the future) have a real problem on our hands.
Here is where a credible defense might have been a good idea instead of the bury your head in the sand defense Arizona and Miller used. Force the government to produce the tape to prove your innocence...Gee, I wonder why they did not try that?
The media is out of control - anyone with a triple digit IQ knows that - and it has been for decades now, it is just getting worse. You can say that you want good, investigative journalism because it might have revealed the truth. But that seems antithetical to the outcome some AZ fans actually want because Miller would be coaching at the YMCA in Ellwood City, PA (or perhaps even in federal prison) right now if that were the case.

Interesting. Can you point me in the direction of the tape of SEAN MILLER saying he is willing to pay 100K for Ayton to attend Zona? I dont want to get in another back in forth with you I just want to see the transcript of MILLER SAYING HE PAID OR WOULD PAY AYTON 100K to attend Zona. Not Dawkins, not Book, not Ayton's handlers. Sean Miller, on tape, saying that. Please point me in the right direction sir, I could be mistaken. It has happened before.
"A" tape exists. If it was even remotely consistent with ESPN's story, they would have made it public on day one.
Since the truth didn't line up with their initial article/assumption...they were forced to take a backseat and quietly "eat a dick" (to respectfully quote PBCat).

I see, so you KNOW that Book is the one who said that (unknowingly) on tape but you want Miller to say it or its not true?

My point was not a defense of ESPN... in fact I noted that the media is out of control. But that does not prove Miller's innocence.

Fact: ESPN reported that SEAN MILLER THE HEAD COACH WAS ON TAPE talking 100K for Ayton.
Fact: No such tape exists.
There is no wiggle room here budday. Stop pretending you don't know exactly what the issue is with an incredibly damaging and also inaccurate report. It was a hitjob because they got played. Dawkins bent the truth a little to sell the story.
To reiterate PBC's point...there is nothing that proves Miller is guilty. The public audio recordings included Miller saying that "he will handle the recruiting", which assumes that he wants Dawkins to stay away from Arizona's prospects.
I won't play dumb & say that players haven't been paid; that's the way college basketball works. I hope the system is fixed, but I hope that Arizona doesn't turn into the NCAA's punching bag...which was our primary role for ESPN.

What a joke... I cannot find any connection as to why he hates UofA and Sean Miller so much... It just makes it seem like he is protecting someone.
I honestly think it goes back to how much shit he/schlabach/espn caught for the story initially. Other than that, I have no idea why he hates Miller so much. I bet Liquid has some thoughts.

That could be it, trying to save face.... It just is wild how much he blatantly goes for us... Used to love Dickie V, but good god.... Always like Bill Raftery better anyways. ONIONS!
Maybe I will commit the rest of my life to prove Duke is paying players. Even if I did, Dickiev probably wouldnt believe me
This could be considered mental disease. Maybe people here with twitters should start tweeting him the addiction network hotline numbers and rehab brochures.
It's probably because we usually beat his Duke team.
Dick V has completely lost the narrative...think about it in a wider perspective:
ESPN is a sports network that employees Dick V as a color commentator...his opinion is not exactly the pinnacle of astute analysis...but even with that the attacks on Miller are so blatant that no one can simply ignore it anymore...ESPN enables this kind of nonsense, now either they have some reason for this (click bait?) or they are not paying attnrtion that Dick has wandered out of his padded room and onto the freeway.
To malignantly attack the UofA and Sean Miller nonstop at every turn, WITHOUT ever suggesting other schools caught up in the scandal are even slightly guilty speaks volumes of an agenda.
He wants Miller fired and Rick P reinstated possibly by opening up a school on the east coast that gets their coach hired away to the UofA...the UofA is possibly the only school on the west coast that has the power to draw an east coast 2nd tier coach away...and that would be perfect for his mafia friend...
either that or his has lost his friggin mind...which is just as possible and more probable...but at some point ESPN will have to reel him in or face legal consequences...

His hypocrisy is sickening....
https://twitter.com/DickieV/status/1320482913360748544
This time he is actually right. It is embarrassing and Lute built a wonderful program and Miller has completely tarnished that image. Right, wrong or indifferent , that's the National perception.
From Jason Terry to summer basketball camps to the mysteriously nice cars that were driven by Wildcats of the past...Lute built this amazing program with the same recruiting tactics as essentially every other coach in D-1 history...including miller.
If somebody thinks otherwise, they need to take off their navy and cardinal glasses for a minute to see that dirty recruiting occurs in every sport and at every school. Arizona is becoming the "example" because the NCAA couldn't take control of the situation 10, 20, 30 or 40 years prior.
Well let's wait and see the MOA and Arizona's and Miller's responses before we tar and feather the guy.
Will you feel the same way if the only allegation directed at Miller is failure to monitor/control stemming from Book's conduct? It could be that's all they allege re Miller directly.

This time he is actually right. It is embarrassing and Lute built a wonderful program and Miller has completely tarnished that image. Right, wrong or indifferent , that's the National perception.
I agree, Dry. Miller gets paid well to lead. He owns the program and everything that happens
Kansas- you still do get it. It's not the pay for play, it's everything else. I'm not going to lay out everything repeatedly, as I have in the past. The entire package isn't worth all the head ache and National perception. Miller isn't even a top tier coach and probably never will be.
What I don't understand is the lack of consistency within the "investigations".
Why were only a handful of schools lucky enough to get "baited" into this FBI probe? They specifically targeted big programs that weren't blue-bloods...and still didn't seem to obtain enough information to move forward with harsh penalties.
Why are there no wiretaps for Zion? Why weren't Shareef's academics probed at UCLA? How did every D-1 family on earth pay their own way to the Diamondhead Classic, Maui Invitational and Battle 4 Atlantis?
The fact that they purposely targeted minority assistant coaches, en route to obtaining NO hard evidence...is an absolute joke. Until every NCAA school has been fully investigated, they should have no right to go after a handful of programs that participate in the same recruiting process.
To make things worse, illiterate media personnel (Dukie V) publicly shames Arizona, as Coach K, Calipari and Pitino quietly hide in the shadows.
I'm optimistic that the Libel counter-suit will occur at some point. As long as somebody within the program/administration has been taking notes, we have an easy argument.
Life isn't fair, get over it. Several coaches were fired and I'm sure a few more will be. Miller is still employed, correct? Arizona has had several coaches fired, serval academic issues, serval law enforcement related issues including an assist spending time incarcerated, at least one accusations of sexual misconduct, but probably two involving a player, and the NCAA/FBI investigation. If I posted this regarding another any other program how would your opinion change? That's a list complied over 11 years. Lastly, you act like Miller has shown loyally to Arizona, he used several schools as leverage, for better fringe benefits and salary increases. Loyalty goes both ways!

you speak of loyalty. he was loyal to his assistant to use that leverage to get them more money. He also used that leverage to get charter flights to help with recruiting.
Despite Amy Miller's desert allergies, living thousands of miles from family and being the coach in demand for blue bloods...Miller stuck around with a salary that is absolutely reasonable.
When our investigation started and Bill Self told KU media that he would retire within 5 years, Sean Miller was the most common name thrown around here as a replacement. His recruiting and passion for the game were the biggest factors.
Now, our reputation is blemished because of "ALLEGED" conversations. Bill Self has text message confirmation that he outbid Maryland for DeSouza. Imagine what they paid for Josh Shelby.
Where are the Terps? The NCAA doesn't care. They just want to use us as their scapegoat, so this mess will go away...rather than fixing the system and attempting to clean up college basketball.
If they implemented the baseball recruiting rule and didn't selfishly bury their heads in the sand, this likely wouldn't be an issue because one and dones would be nonexistent. No need to help Shareef...
QuoteArizona has had several coaches fired,
maybe you meant to say that UofA has removed two coaches for cause, which indicates to me a coach and AD who are monitoring the program and acting responsibly
Quoteserval academic issues,
all schools have issues with academics, there is nothing unusual about it, especially in light of UNC
Quoteserval law enforcement related issues including an assist spending time incarcerated,
Book was very secretive making efforts to hide his activity, its reasonable to suggest that he did that so well that Arizona should not have been expected to realize what he was up to
Quoteat least one accusations of sexual misconduct, but probably two involving a player,
another example of a difficult situation handling well by the coaching staff
Quoteand the NCAA/FBI investigation.
this is a repeat of the stuff above, but where did the investigation find CSM committing any of these acts?
some folks don't like Miller this is a great opportunity to post how much they hate him and how he has single-handely wrecked the UofA basketball program, I'll wait for the results of arbritration
Maybe Dukie V will take a day off tweeting in broken English so he can cry about his poor Rays.
Never cared much for the dodgers, but this inspired me to go against TB...in a sport that has slowly faded into the abyss.

Wow, Dickie V never stops hating on Miller and Miller only.
Whatever. Miller will be winning titles while Dukie V is long gone.

Vitale wants Pitino to coach at Arizona if Miller is fired. He's trying everything he can to make it happen.

My theory is that Vitale blames Miller, in some fashion, either real or imagined, as having helped expose Pitino many illegalities, which led to Pitino's firing and shaming.
Calipari and Miller are close, they do not like Pitino. Mack, Miller's associate head coach at Xavier, was hired as coach at Louisville once Pitino left.
I know, I know. Quite a theory, but stranger things have happened.
Vitale really took after Miller immediately after Ayton ESPN stuff came out. For no apparent reason. There is bad blood there, and I think it leads through Pitino.

That's what we need...a 70 year old coach that was CAUGHT by the NCAA recruiting violations AND a sex scandal.
What could go wrong?
Dick "Head" Vitale........ That mouth just never stops
Bump...because we may not have to hear this biased "Dick" call games for much longer (or negatively tweet towards fanbases not named Dook).
